Manila Airport
Metro Manila is one of the world’s densest urban areas. Traffic is common at all hours of the day, and parking is scarce, particularly at Manila airports.
With more and more people starting to resume normal day-to-day activities, air travel has been increasing. Especially seen over the last holiday season when NAIA airports were reported to have the most number of passengers since emerging from the pandemic.
If the only way to get to the airport is by car, there are several parking options. At NAIA, the 4 terminals share the same runway but are in different locations. Each terminal has its own dedicated paid parking space.
So if you ever need to park the car to drop off or pick up a traveler or if you leave your car there for a few days, check out the list below for the locations and rates of these parking lots. We’ve rounded up some updated information on NAIA Terminals parking and other options such as Park ‘N Fly.
NAIA Terminal 1 Parking
The majority of international flights arriving and departing from Manila are handled by NAIA Terminal 1. Expect the airport to be crowded because it serves the majority of international flights. Be sure to allow plenty of time before your flight to find a park and make you way over to the Terminal.
NAIA Terminal 1 parking has a trio of pay parking lots: A, B, and C. Parking spots A and B, when combined, have a capacity of more than 500 cars. Carpark A is located directly across from and on the same level as the arrivals area, making it very accessible to and from the terminal. Carpark B is located directly across from the terminal.
Meanwhile, Parking C is the lot farthest from NAIA Terminal 1. It is primarily used by Manila airport taxis, even though it still has space to accommodate drivers who are willing to pay for parking.
This car park has fewer people using it so expect more available slots. This is because it’s a little further back and may take you longer to walk to the terminal.

NAIA Terminal 2 Parking
NAIA Terminal 2 exclusively services both Philippine Airlines (PAL, the country’s national flag carrier) international and domestic flights.
This six-level complex includes a North wing for international flights and a South wing for domestic flights, as well as two parking lots, Car Park 1, and Car Park 2. Car Park 1 is the most convenient option because it is located across the terminal. Car Park 2 is a little out of the way, but it can still be a good option if the first parking lot is full.
Turn left immediately after the security check to get to the open parking area. For your safety, a security guard will record your name and flight information, and you must identify yourself before exiting.
You may notice that some cars have covers, this just means that people leave them for a few days or even weeks.

Terminal 3 is the newest and largest terminal at NAIA. Its primary responsibility is to oversee international flights, but it also serves Cebu Pacific and selected domestic Philippine Airlines flights.
It was built to relieve congestion in Terminal 1 and can accommodate 13 million passengers per year. It also has a footbridge that connects to neighboring Newport City in Resorts World Manila.
In NAIA Terminal 3, there are two convenient parking areas:
- an open-air parking section directly in front of the terminal arrivals area
- and a multi-level parking facility that is covered to protect your car from the elements.
The entrance to the multi-level parking level C is conveniently located at the same level as the arrivals area.
You can definitely leave your car to park for the day or a few days in NAIA Terminal 3. The open car park can accommodate over 1,000 vehicles, while the multi-level car park can accommodate over 2,000 vehicles.
Both options are convenient, but if you’re staying overnight in NAIA Terminal 3, you should park in the multi-level parking lot.

NAIA Terminal 4 primarily serves domestic flights. The Old Domestic Terminal is the oldest structure still standing at NAIA. NAIA Terminal 4 has only one parking lot located outside the airport and serves both domestic and regional flights. Because it’s just across the street, it’s still convenient.
This NAIA Terminal 4 Parking lot, known as Parking Lot B, is a small lot with limited slots. If you pass by the airport and notice the parking lot is full, it is best to try your options at the nearby Park N Fly or the NAIA terminal 2 or 3 car parks.
