Long Stay Parking

$100 weekly cap makes Long Stay Parking the only real on-airport option

Long Stay Parking at Aji Pangeran Tumenggung Pranoto International Airport sits about 0.5 miles from Terminal 1, so you’re looking at roughly a 10-minute walk to check-in. This is the on-airport choice if you need to leave a car right by the terminal instead of in town. It’s a straightforward open lot, set up for long-stay use rather than quick drop-offs.

The rate runs $20 per day with a weekly maximum of $100, so the math starts to favor weeklong trips or longer. Anything over five days, and the cap beats paying day-by-day. For quick overnights, that flat $20 can feel steep compared to city parking, but you’re trading price for being on airport grounds and skipping a taxi or rideshare.

This is post-entry airport property parking, so once you’ve walked the 0.5 miles to Terminal 1, you’re right at check-in and then straight to security. There’s no shuttle posted, so plan on that 10-minute walk with bags. If you have heavy luggage or mobility issues, build extra time or consider being dropped at the terminal first, then the driver parking the car.

Locals mention that many flyers in Samarinda don’t own cars or simply park in the city, which leaves Long Stay Parking more of a niche option for out-of-towners. Think visiting family driving in from another region, or someone leaving a car while they connect onward. If you fall into that group, the weekly $100 ceiling keeps costs predictable.

Tip: Arrive 20–30 minutes earlier than usual to account for parking, paying, and the 10-minute walk from Long Stay Parking to Terminal 1 at AAP.
