Every time I head to the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (whether it's for a pick-up, drop off, or if I'm flying off somewhere), one of my biggest concerns is to find your car in a parking lot.

As the Greater Manila Area is one of the densest urban regions in the world, parking is a rare commodity; getting to the airport and missing your flight on account of scarce parking is the stuff of any traveler's nightmares. Thankfully, the Manila International Airport Authority (MIAA) is ready to take on the challenge.

Each terminal at NAIA now has its own dedicated paid parking space. These terminals share the same runway but are located at different points of the city. We would often take advantage of their services and park my car whenever we go on a trip, so we'd like to share some tips about these services and their corresponding rates.

Therefore, Here is the complete guide for parking at Ninoy Aquino International Airport, brought by Philkotse.com

1. Parking at Naia Terminal 1

NAIA Terminal 1 operates most of the international flights arriving at and departing from the capital. It consists of an upper level for departures and a lower one for arrivals while hosting boarding gates 1 to 7, 9 to 12 and 14 to 16.

NAIA Terminal 1 primarily serves international flights

There are three car parks in Terminal 1, with Carpark A located right across and at level with the arrivals area, making it very accessible to and from the terminal. Right at the side facing the terminal, you will find Carpark B. 

There's also Carpark C where there are fewer people as it's a bit further back and may take you just a couple of minutes walk, but it's also an option.

These are all open-air parking areas, so expect your car to be all dusty or muddy depending on the weather. Fees start at P40 for the first three hours, with an additional P15 charge for every succeeding hour.

In case you'll be on an extended trip, overnight parking is available, and will set you back P300 for the first 24 hours with an additional P15 for every succeeding hour beyond.
