Counts refresh continuously, but spaces can disappear quickly during peak hours. Treat this as a guide, not a reservation. Data is provided by NNIC (New NAIA Infrastructure Corporation).
Parking rates
Rates are the same across NAIA parking areas. Parking is first-come, first-served, and advance booking is not available.
Verified passengers may get 50% off the overnight rate after airport validation, so keep your boarding pass with you.
| Rate | Car | Motorcycle |
|---|---|---|
| First 2 hours | ₱56 | ₱22 |
| Per succeeding hour | ₱25 | ₱10 |
| Overnight (24h) | ₱1,200 | ₱480 |
Terminal 1
Terminal 1 has two main outdoor parking areas.
- Parking B — on the right side of the terminal when facing it, just before the Arrivals curb. This is the closer walk and the better choice if you have luggage.
- Parking C — along PASCOR Drive beside the terminal access road. It is a longer walk, so it is less convenient with heavy bags.
Terminal 2
Terminal 2 has two outdoor parking areas.
- Car Park 1 — right in front of the terminal. It is the shorter walk and usually the easiest option.
- Car Park 2 — on the left side of the terminal when facing it. Use this if Car Park 1 is full or if you do not mind a longer walk.
Terminal 3
Terminal 3 has the most choices, so the best lot depends on what you are doing.
- Car Park 1 — outdoor, on the right side of the terminal when facing it, near the main entrance from the Departures/Arrivals approach road.
- Open Surface Parking — in front of Arrivals. This is usually the simplest choice for pickups.
- Multi-Level Parking — the covered parking building beside Arrivals, near the Bay 14 entrance. This is usually the best option if you are leaving your car for a few days.
Tips before parking
Check live availability before leaving, especially during holidays, weekends, and other busy travel periods.
Arrive early. Spaces fill up, and you cannot reserve a slot in advance.
For pickups, choose the lot closest to Arrivals so it is easier to meet passengers. For longer trips, use covered parking when available; Terminal 3's Multi-Level Parking is the main covered option.
Keep your parking ticket, boarding pass, and payment receipt. If you are claiming the overnight discount, you may need your boarding pass for validation.
If you have heavy luggage, pick the closest lot you can. Some parking areas require a long walk to the terminal.
If your trip is international, also make sure you've sorted eTravel and travel tax before driving over — both are easier to handle at home than at the airport.
