Remote Parking

$5 per day buys you Remote Parking a mile from DAR

Remote Parking sits about 1 mile from Julius Nyerere International Airport and runs a shuttle that typically takes around 15 minutes to reach the terminals. It’s a basic remote lot setup, aimed at drivers who don’t need to be right on top of Terminal 1, 2, or 3 but still want a predictable transfer time.

Rates are simple: $5.00 per day or $30.00 per week, so long-stays over 6–7 days start to make more sense here than at most closer-in options. If you’re leaving the car for a full week-long trip, you’re effectively locking in about $4.30 per day with the weekly price.

The shuttle runs on a roughly 30-minute cycle, so build that into your timing on top of the 15 minutes of driving. In practice, that means you should plan on up to 45 minutes from locking your car to getting dropped at the terminal doors, especially at busier times around morning and late-night bank departures.

This is a standard remote lot, not tied tightly to one specific terminal, so the shuttle routing may change slightly depending on demand across Terminals 1, 2, and 3. Because you’re 1 mile away, walking is not realistic with luggage, and all access effectively depends on catching that next shuttle run.

Tip: Aim to park here at least 2 hours before departure time and treat the shuttle’s 30-minute headway like a train timetable: arrive assuming you just missed one, and you won’t cut it close at security.
