short-term parking
Quick stop spots
Short-term parking is parking intended for brief stays, typically measured in minutes or hours rather than days.
Airports, hospitals, and shopping centers designate short-term lots or zones for quick pickups, drop-offs, or errands: I pulled into short-term parking to grab him at arrivals.
Rates are usually higher per hour than long-term alternatives but cheaper for stays under a few hours.
