P1 Long Term Parking

₹600–650 for day one makes BLR’s P1 Long Term Parking the benchmark for “park vs cab” math.

P1 Long Term Parking sits in the on-airport zone at Kempegowda International, covering both T1 and T2 traffic, and runs on a stepped tariff that regulars track when planning trips. Recent reports put the first 24 hours at ₹600–650, then ₹300–350 per extra day, so a 3‑day trip lands around ₹1,200–1,350 total while a full week comes in near ₹2,500. That makes it competitive with round‑trip app cabs from many Bengaluru neighborhoods, especially at peak-time surge rates.

This is a long-stay, open-air surface lot, not a covered multi‑level garage, and drivers in local forums call it “safe” but very much exposed to Bengaluru sun and rain for the whole 24–168 hour window. One regular says they’re comfortable up to a week parked here, having left their car for about seven days without incident, but others cap themselves at 1–2 days because they dislike multi‑day open-air exposure. If your car’s paint or interior is fussy, factor that into the decision along with the ₹600 first‑day charge.

What regulars actually do: they run a quick comparison against their usual app cab fare to BLR, often ₹800–1,200 each way from central areas, then choose P1 only when the trip is one or two calendar days and departure/arrival times are awkward for family drop-offs. For a single overnight, paying roughly ₹600–650 to leave the car can undercut a ₹1,600–2,400 round‑trip cab. Once the trip length hits 4–5 days or more, those same drivers flip back to cabs, even though one reports a “safe” week in the lot.

Watch out for price drift: one user cites ₹650 for day one and ₹300–350 afterwards, while another was billed ₹600 then ₹350, so check the posted board at entry before you commit to a 5–7 day stay. Also watch your timestamps; a 26‑hour stay can bill as two days, turning an expected ₹600 into roughly ₹950–1,000. Final tip: screenshot your cab app’s round‑trip estimate before you leave home, then compare it at the P1 entrance barrier so you know exactly how many days of parking still beat hiring a car both ways.
