Daily rates at Parking Lot E usually undercut the closer garages.
Parking Lot E is New Chitose Airport’s official long-term option, set up for trips running several days or more. It sits in the on-airport parking zone serving both the Domestic and International terminals, with pricing structured by 24-hour blocks rather than by the hour. If you’re leaving the car for 3–7 days, E typically works out cheaper than using the main terminal-side car parks day after day.
This lot is outdoors and surface-level, so no height limits like the multi‑story structures near Domestic and International. That helps if you’re driving a taller vehicle or have a roof box. Marked lanes and numbered sections make it easier to spot the car again after 5 or 10 days away, but still take a quick photo of the row sign when you park.
Access to the terminals runs via the same internal road system that feeds the closer parking: allow around 5–10 minutes from shutting off the engine in Parking Lot E to standing at the Domestic or International check‑in counters, depending on traffic and walking pace. If you’re aiming for a morning departure between 08:00 and 10:00, pad your schedule, as the approach roads to CTS can back up.
Payment at Parking Lot E uses the standard airport setup: take a ticket on entry, then pay at the automated machines or exit booth using yen cash or card when you return. Keep the ticket in your wallet, not in the car; a lost ticket charge usually runs much higher than the normal 1–3 day rate.
Practical tip: in winter, New Chitose regularly sees heavy snow and sub‑zero temperatures, so throw a small shovel or snow brush in the trunk before leaving the car in Parking Lot E for more than a couple of days.
