Istanbul Airport parking service

Istanbul International Airport (IST) > Guide > Parking

• Outdoor parking valet service is provided to the visitors in front of the CIP terminal entrance.
• Parking garages are available in the form of Parking Lot and Multi-Storey Parking Area.

Additionally, all parked car areas at IGA provide multiple necessary high-quality services and features for car owners to make their flights hassle-free while their vehicles remain in car parks at the airport. These are as follows:

• All vehicles remain under around-the-clock video surveillance, with CCTV cameras used and regular airport patrol inspections and unofficial surveillance that display any move.
• As the airport is large, finding a car at a parking lot can be difficult. Thus, the airport provides visitors with an opportunity to use the ‘Find my car’ application to determine where their autos are located in the borders of IST. This content is confidential and respects privacy and a person can be sure that their vehicle won’t be picked up by any other visitor and its locations display data only to the owner.
• You can also exclusively use a special Vehicle Guidance System with a smart license plate reading system to navigate park areas at the airport.
• Multiple payment options are available, including contactless payments and various payment booths that allow you to subscribe to car parking services in case you want to book the airport long-term parking for your car. One more good news is that you can receive a 10% discount if you pay for car park services using the airport’s official app that is available on the airport’s website with multiple languages support in Türkçe, EN, RU, FR, DE, ES, and even ZH and acceptable cookie policy (just accept all the cookies settings to avoid ads campaigns and get your app downloaded). Besides, you can contact the airport staff via it.
• All car park areas at IGA also provide repair and detailing services, car wash, and tire rental and storage services for all purposes by the operating company.
• You can opt for any time for your parking from less than an hour to more than a fortnight up to a month.
• All parking areas are colored in different colors depending on their location and type. Some are closer to domestic flights terminal and others are allocated near international departure gates.

Do you know that IGA has the largest parking facility around the world among all the airports? Its parking zone includes five parking lots and the whole capacity is over 18,000 parking spots for more than 40,000 cars to accommodate at once.

Istanbul Airport car park floors

The whole parking space at the airport is divided between a couple of stores which have areas in different colors. Therefore, the orange, red, and blue parking lots’ location is close to international arrival terminal check-in counters and they are predominantly intended for international visitors whose arrivals are at the airport. Green and turquoise are close to domestic flights’ check-in counters, thus, its parking spots are convenient for Turkish citizens boarding domestic flights. These park areas have 7 floors each while a separate yellow car park has 3 floors.

P1 Floor

This part of the airport parking is the furthest from terminals. If you park your car there, you should consider that it can take up to 10 minutes to go to the departure terminal. All color areas are available at this storey as well as they include shopping and additional amenities.

P2 Floor

It is above the P1 zone and has similar space and zoning so you can use it as an additional way to park your vehicle.

P3 Floor and P4 Floor

Both are closer to the departure terminal and require only to use an elevator to reach them as they are allocated at the center.

P5 Floor

This area is the closest to internal terminals with only 90 m to walk to the terminal entrances. You can manage to get to the terminal area using a short moving walking ramp or an elevator.

P6 Floor

Being almost at the roof of the airport, the P6 floor is a perfect match for a passenger with mobile impairment to park a car and enter the check-in counter using a wheelchair or with a guide’s assistance. So, please, validate your identity per request to use it and avoid a decline and collect the social benefits it offers.

Istanbul Airport car parks available for passengers and visitors

All parking spots and blocks are available for visitors, and every passenger has an opportunity to rest a vehicle at any time and date they need. Let’s consider further, in this guide, which special opportunities are included in the parking service at the airport.
A monthly subscription can come in handy for drivers who use the airport’s services regularly and require a spot to be reserved.

• Valet service posts offer quick and high-quality staff assistance to save you time while parking a car.
• Valet pick-up points allow you to pick up passengers from all parts of the airport as one of them is on the domestic departure floor, another is on the international flights’ floor, and one more point is intended for CIP (commercially important persons are named so) to distribute traffic logically.
• IGA Pass Extra membership and IGA Pass Premium membership also allow you to use valet delivery services at special points and calculate your checkout with a discount yet, not for free.

Parking Payment points and methods

The cost of parking at the airport is moderate, and we’ll talk about it in detail in the next section of that guide. Therefore, let’s focus on possible payment methods and points for parking car spots.

• You are able to select how to pay: either in cash or using bank cards. Multiple payment devices aka parking payment points are installed on the P3 floor in red and green spots. Also, you can use automatic points at axis L08, near the P5 and P2 floors exit, and a single one if you enter the terrace of P6.
• Paying through the app or on the IGA website page is also possible.
• For long-term parking, (i.e. with a duration of a couple of months) it offers to book a subscription at informational desks of Green and Red car parks 1 hour upon your entrance providing your documentation that includes both your driver’s license and ID card.

Parking fees at the airport: what to expect when you need to leave your car

In general, parking fees are not costly. Depending on a chosen car park (either a Parking Lot or a Multi-Stored Car Park) they vary. An hour costs from 21 liras. Besides, IGA members receive discounts if they daily check the airport’s media for discount advertising.

Prices of the Istanbul Airport car park

Due to its giant capacity, the airport hosts two big areas. Thus, the prices for their services are different. Let’s get information about each of them.
Do you know that you cannot book a spot in advance, so it’s better to know relevant prices for both locations to be not surprised by the pricing difference?
In this table, we are going to show the information about Parking Lot pricing and further you can get the rates for multi-store spots. As you can note, Parking Lot car park doesn’t provide a subscription for more than 7 days. Usually, visitors use it on an hourly basis. When you opt for longer parking (for a couple of days up to 30 days) at the airport, please, apply for Car Parking.

Istanbul Airport multistory car park charge rates

When you decide to use the services of a multistory car park area, it’s a must to search for the service price. Remember that this parking zone offers both short-term and long-term car and motorbike parking access for up to 30 days upon subscription. So, it’s OK for busy people and travelers to use it to keep their cars intact while flying for a business trip or just on a journey. Let’s get some guides for a better understanding of IGA parking fees collected in a comprehensive table. Please, read them thoroughly.

As you can see, the airport provides quite affordable pricing for a long stay of your vehicle. After 30 days pass, you can update your reservation for any amount of days.
