Rs. 350 gets you a full day at Short Stay Parking
Daily rate sits at Rs. 350.00, which works well if you’re dropping someone at Cochin International Airport and might stick around longer than an hour or two. This is the official Short Stay Parking right next to the terminals, not a private lot down the road. It’s signed clearly as “Short Stay” as you enter the COK airport campus.
The lot sits directly next to the terminal complex serving T1, T2, and T3, so you’re looking at about a 5-minute walk to the doors. No shuttle, no waiting, just park and go. That walk time matters on late-night international departures out of T3, when queues build fast and you don’t want to burn 20 minutes in a bus.
This is short-stay parking only, charged at roughly Rs. 350 per day, so it makes sense for stays under a couple of days, airport runs, and long pickups. For anything longer, that same daily rate will add up fast versus off-airport options, so do the math if you’re leaving the car for a week.
Short Stay Parking is on-airport and next to the terminal block, so you pass standard airport security checks only once, inside the building, not at the lot. That 5-minute walk also keeps things simple if you’re lugging 23 kg check-in bags to T3 or arriving with family and multiple trolleys.
Tip: Aim for rows closest to the pedestrian exit facing T3; that cuts the walk to roughly 3–4 minutes and makes late-night pickups much easier.
