Most Samarinda flyers don’t park overnight at AAP at all
In Samarinda, regulars lean on taxis and ride-hailing, so Parkir Inap long-stay parking at Aji Pangeran Tumenggung Pranoto International Airport (airport code AAP) flies under the radar. If you actually need to leave a car while you’re away, this is the on-airport option tied directly to Terminal 1, so you walk rather than deal with an off-site shuttle.
Parkir Inap serves Terminal 1, which handles all commercial traffic at AAP, so there’s no terminal-juggling or bus transfer. You park once, then follow signs to the single departures hall and standard security screening. It’s basic long-stay stock: outdoor surface parking, short walk, pay on exit. Expect pricing to sit above street parking in Samarinda but below big-hub Indonesian airports like CGK or SUB.
Because most travelers use drop-off lanes, taxis, and app-based rides, Parkir Inap usually has spaces open even at morning bank hours around 06:00–09:00. That makes it useful if you’re driving in from another part of Kalimantan and don’t want family to wait. Just factor airport access via Jalan Poros Samarinda–Bontang and give yourself at least 20–30 minutes extra in case of local traffic.
Details like exact daily rates and payment methods for Parkir Inap at AAP change more often than official pages update, and recent flyers aren’t really talking about it online. Expect the usual Indonesian setup: pay station near the pedestrian exit, ticket on entry, and per-hour or per-calendar-day charges. Bring some cash rupiah as backup even if card or e-wallet signs are posted.
Practical tip: if you’re planning more than 2–3 nights in Parkir Inap, ask the security or parking booth at AAP about flat long-stay pricing before you lock the car and walk to Terminal 1.
