Long Stay Parking

Daily rate sits at $15.00, but almost nobody talks about this lot.

ABJ’s Long Stay Parking is on-airport, about 0.5 miles from the terminals, and set up for trips running several days or more. Officially it’s the long‑term option for Félix‑Houphouët‑Boigny, but guides and aggregators that happily list taxi fares and flight stats stay vague on this specific car park. You get a posted daily rate of $15.00 and a weekly cap at $90.00; past that, information gets thin fast.

Plan for a 10‑minute walk to T1 or T2 from the long‑stay area, assuming you’re rolling a bag on normal pavement and not wrestling with heavy boxes. This isn’t a remote shuttle lot with a printed timetable, it’s basically “park and walk” on the airport grounds. If you’re landing late into T1 on an international arrival, factor in immigration plus that 10‑minute walk back to your car before deciding how tight to cut your drive home.

The $90.00 weekly price means day six and seven effectively drop to $15.00 combined, which can undercut a week of city taxis if you live far from Abidjan. That said, local trip planners still tell visitors to budget for a cab or hotel transfer instead of leaving a car in Long Stay Parking for five or more days. The lack of clearly published zones, time bands, or reservation options is the tell here: most regulars don’t bother learning a system that doesn’t present itself clearly.

One practical tip: if you do park long‑term, snap a photo of your row sign, then another of a visible landmark pointing toward T1 or T2, before you start the 0.5‑mile walk. With almost no online coverage of this car park, your own photos become your “map” when you get back, especially after a late‑night return.
