Valet Parking at IST International Airport

For even greater convenience, or to save time if you are in a hurry, take advantage of the valet IST airport parking. If you are arriving at the airport for departure, use the following strategy to find the optimal valet spot:

• For international departures. Head to the entrance to the CIP Terminal for valeting. Alternatively, you will find staff on level P6, opposite gate 6, in the Red section.
• For domestic departures. Make your way to the Purple facility, where the staff will valet your vehicle on level P6, opposite gate 3.
• Additional pick-up spots. If needed, extra valet points are available between the multi-level garages and the Plaza Area.

When you return to the airport through the arrivals terminal, the staff will deliver your car. You will be able to pick it up at level P3 in the Purple Car Park (Domestic Arrivals) or level P3 in the Red section (International Arrivals). Valet service costs ₺35 ($1.26/€1.2) in addition to your basic tariff.

Valet payment points are available in the International (next to gate 13) and Domestic (at gate 9) Arrival Terminals. Also, you can pay at level P3 in the Purple and Red Car Parks. Guests using the valet service get access to free electric vehicle charging, and can also order detailing and car wash for an extra charge.

Accessible parking at Istanbul Airport

The airport's infrastructure makes traveling as easy as possible for people with disabilities. You will find accessible parking spaces close to the terminal entrances as well as elevators, plus multiple specialized accessible toilets within the facility. For an estimate of the time it will take you to reach the terminal, consider the routes below.

• The fastest route. If you leave your auto at level P5 close to the terminal entrance, it will take you about 3 minutes to cover the 90-meter-long distance.
• The longest route. Leaving your vehicle at level P1 means you will have to take a more challenging route. If you park in the farthest corner of P1, you will need to cover a distance of 75 meters to the elevator, then go up to level P5, and finally travel 125 meters in a wheelchair to the terminal entrance. Expect to spend about 10 minutes on this trip.

Keep in mind that the estimated times in both the closest and the farthest scenario do not factor in the minutes spent getting out of the vehicle and accessing the wheelchair. It is also worth noting that the speed of the wheelchair in our estimation was taken to be 3 km/h.

Disabled drivers can use parking facilities free of charge for up to 15 days. However, a vehicle license and a physical disability certificate are required in this case.

Istanbul Airport parking fees

Several critical factors influence the Istanbul Airport parking price. The first thing that matters is where you leave your car - in an open-air lot or a specialized garage. Secondly, the total rate depends on the duration of your stay. The minimum parking time is up to 1 hour, while the maximum period reaches 1 month. The vehicle type is one more price decider - the larger the transport, the more you will pay for certain hours/days. Let's look at the basic tariffs for various facilities.

Multi-Level Garage Parking Prices

Before choosing a space in one of the garages, keep in mind that covered areas apply the same rate as rooftop terrace sections of P6 levels and the terrace areas of P3, P4, and P5 levels. To make it easier to find your auto after returning, remember your lot number and column color. Also, do not leave your subscription card or ticket in the salon. Below, you can check how much you'll pay in local currency depending on the duration of your parking stay and vehicle type.

Open Area Parking Prices

Surface parking offers cheaper rates compared to garage options. Plus, you can use this type of lot for free if you enter and exit it within 15 minutes. Also, veterans and disabled persons receive a free subscription for a period of up to 15 days if they have all the necessary documents (vehicle license and a physical disability certificate) on hand. Look through the following table for a complete list of tariffs for different periods.
