P5 Outdoor Parking

P5 sits in the outdoor economy zone near Guangzhou Baiyun

P5 Outdoor Parking is the airport’s economy lot on the open-air side of Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport (CAN). It serves the main terminals T1, T2, and T3, so you can use it regardless of airline. This is standard uncovered parking, so your car stays outside in Guangzhou’s heat and rain.

Rates here run in the budget bracket compared with the closer terminal garages, with daily pricing aimed at trips of several days or more rather than quick drop-offs. P5 Outdoor Parking tends to work best if you’re trying to keep costs down on a 3–7 day international run out of T2 or T3. Short stays under 24 hours usually make more sense in the closer car parks if you value time over savings.

The lot links into the terminal road system for T1, T2, and T3, usually via a short shuttle or a longer walk depending on exactly where you park. Factor in at least 10–15 minutes on top of your normal check-in and security buffer when using P5 Outdoor Parking, especially in peak morning bank hours. This extra time matters most for early flights before 09:00 from T2, when road traffic into the terminal can back up.

P5 Outdoor Parking is basic: marked bays, open layout, and standard entry/exit barriers with ticket or electronic payment depending on what the airport currently supports. You won’t find in-lot services like charging, car wash, or valet here, so plan on a straightforward park-and-walk setup. Tip: photograph your row and a nearby sign as soon as you park; P5 is large enough that hunting for your car after a late-night arrival from T3 gets old fast.
