Starting October 1, 2024, parking at Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) will become significantly more expensive.

In a recent announcement by NAIA’s Leasing and Commercial Affairs Department, overnight parking fees for cars will jump from P300 to P1,200—a fourfold increase. The new rates will also affect motorcycles and buses, with overnight parking set at P480 for motorcycles and P2,400 for buses.

New NAIA Parking Fee Rates

A 10-minute grace period will be allowed. If you exceed 24-hour increments, additional hourly rates will apply. For lost tickets, a P500 fee will be charged on top of the parking cost.

Prior to this change, overnight parking used to only cost P300 as of 2022.

Why the Steep Price Hike?

According to the memo, the drastic adjustments are necessary “to ensure continued maintenance and improvements” at the airport's parking facilities. However, details on what specific improvements are planned remain unclear. Passengers and airport workers alike are hopeful that the higher fees will translate to tangible upgrades beyond cosmetic changes like fresh paint or new signage.
