Passenger volume sets the size of the parking market, but it is not the whole story. The table compares MYR with nearby Southeast airports on the measures a landowner should weigh: boardings, the typical daily rate and how many off-airport lots already compete for those travelers.
What kind of travelers park at MYR?
MYR traffic is mostly leisure: vacation travelers who book early, stay four to ten days and compare prices online. Off-airport lots near Myrtle Beach win these travelers with a clear total price, covered or secured parking, and a shuttle that runs to the terminal.
Leisure-heavy airports reward online visibility. At MYR, a lot that ranks for "MYR long-term parking" and takes pre-paid reservations typically outperforms a larger lot that relies on drive-up traffic from US-17.

How much could an acre near MYR earn as parking?
About $238,893 a year in gross revenue per paved acre, as a planning estimate. The math is 85 spaces per acre × $14 average daily rate × 55% blended occupancy × 365 days. That is in line with the Southeast median of $238,893 per acre on this list.
The $14 rate is about 7% below the $15 median across all 50 airports we track. At that rate, a 3-acre lot near MYR models to about $716,679 gross and a 10-acre lot to about $2,388,930, before shuttle, labor, insurance, technology and property tax. Operating costs usually take 35–50% of gross, so the owner's share depends on the deal structure.
How crowded is the off-airport parking market near MYR?
We estimate 5 active off-airport operators near MYR, or about 300,000 annual boardings per lot. The Southeast median on this list is about 412,500, so MYR has fewer travelers per competing lot than most peers, so a new lot has to win on location, price or service.
Most off-airport traffic near Myrtle Beach arrives via US-17. Parcels with direct visibility from that corridor and a drive of under 10 minutes to the terminal curb are the strongest candidates. Competitor counts are estimates from listings and site visits and change as lots open and close.
What would it cost to pave a parking lot near MYR?
In South Carolina, Wins Parking's planning estimate for asphalt is $2.82–$6.58 per square foot, or about $122,839–$286,625 to pave one acre before design and permitting. Against $238,893 of modeled gross revenue per acre, the paving outlay equals roughly 6–14 months of gross revenue.
A gravel overflow lot costs far less up front ($0.47–$2.35 per square foot in South Carolina) but needs annual regrading and does not meet ADA rules for accessible stalls, so it usually serves as phase-one or peak-season overflow near MYR rather than the main product.
Who controls on-airport parking at MYR?
Horry County Department of Airports controls the on-airport garages and surface lots at Myrtle Beach International. We estimate about 70 acres of on-airport parking, or roughly 21,429 annual boardings per on-airport acre. The higher that ratio, the more often official lots sell out on peak days and push travelers to private lots.
On-airport parking management contracts at MYR are awarded through Horry County Department of Airports procurements. Wins Parking responds to those solicitations for parking management, shuttle and revenue control, and separately partners with private landowners off airport property.
Which other Southeast airport parking markets should owners compare?
