Next to both T1 and T2, the disabled bays sit closest
At Sardar Vallabh Patel International Airport (AMD), Accessible Parking sits right next to the passenger terminals, with marked bays closest to the entrances for T1 and T2. Signage on arrival is basic, so watch for the standard wheelchair symbol at the front rows of the main car park rather than expecting a separate multilevel facility.
These accessible spaces line up within a short roll or walk to the terminal doors, usually under 2–3 minutes from car to entrance if you’re dropped at the front of the rows. The airport focuses publicly on wheelchair assistance inside the building, so the parking setup feels more like reserved sections within the general lot than a separate “special needs” car park.
Pricing follows the regular /hourly/ car park tariffs, with no separate daily cap published for Accessible Parking bays. That means if you’re staying more than 24 hours, it can add up quickly compared with off-airport lots around Ahmedabad that advertise flat 24-hour rates. Keep small notes or digital payment ready, as older pay machines near T1 sometimes struggle with large bills according to local drivers.
There’s step-free access from the accessible bays to the terminal kerb at both T1 and T2, so you can move directly onto the ramped footpath instead of mixing with vehicles. Officially, AMD asks you to pair use of these bays with a disability permit or wheelchair placard; in practice, enforcement varies, and you may find regular cars in these rows during peak evening bank times.
Practical tip: if you need both parking and wheelchair help, park in an Accessible bay, then call the airport wheelchair desk or your airline’s AMD number before you unload so assistance is waiting at the kerb within 5–10 minutes.
