Short Stay Parking

Five-minute walk from DAR terminals, priced for quick trips

Short Stay Parking at Julius Nyerere International Airport sits right next to the terminals, so you’re looking at about a 5-minute walk to check-in in Terminals 1, 2, or 3. This is the closest car park to the terminal doors, so it suits drop-offs, same-day returns, and one- or two-night trips where time matters more than shaving a few dollars.

Pricing runs at about $15.00 per day and $100.00 per week, so it’s reasonable up to around six or seven days before long-stay options start making more sense. If you’re parking for just one night before an early flight out of Terminal 2 or Terminal 3, the daily rate beats messing around with shuttles or off-site lots.

This is a standard short-stay surface lot, right by the main terminal approach roads at DAR, so you keep your keys and walk your own bags to the check-in halls. Being next to the terminals cuts out any wait time for buses, which matters on late-night arrivals into Terminal 3 or tight morning departures from Terminal 2.

Watch your timing on longer trips: at $100.00 per week, a 10-day stay runs about $150.00, which is basically the daily rate multiplied out. If your plans stretch past seven days, compare against any long-term parking or hotel park-and-fly deals near Julius Nyerere International Airport before committing.

Tip: If you’re dropping someone for an international flight out of Terminal 3, pull into Short Stay Parking, walk them in, and be back on the airport access road in under 20 minutes if traffic around DAR cooperates.
