General Parking T3

5–7 minutes on foot from T3 departures

General Parking T3 sits directly in front of the Indira Gandhi International Airport T3 terminal, with a marked pedestrian route that takes roughly 5–7 minutes to the departures doors. It’s an open-air surface lot set up for long-stay parking, so it suits trips that run several days or longer from Terminal 3 international and domestic flights.

This is a standard airport-operated car park with automated entry and exit barriers, ticket machines, and payment kiosks tied to the T3 complex. Rates are typically structured per hour with a capped daily maximum, and pricing is lower than the premium forecourt lanes directly at the terminal. You park your own car, keep your keys, and walk to the terminal entrance on the signed path.

The lot is within the main T3 security perimeter, and the walk to check‑in counters for airlines like Air India and Vistara at T3 usually runs under 10 minutes in normal conditions. Lighting poles cover the entire surface area, and CCTV cameras are visible along the primary lanes. Lanes are marked for cars, SUVs, and taxis, and marked pedestrian crossings connect the rows toward the terminal side.

Because General Parking T3 serves both domestic and international passengers at Terminal 3, it fills fastest around late‑evening long‑haul departure banks, roughly 20:00–01:00. If you’re catching an overnight flight, plan to arrive at least 30 minutes earlier than you normally would to leave time to find a space, park, and walk in. Payment typically happens at exit with cash or card at the gate booths or dedicated pay machines.

Tip: Take a quick photo of your row marker and the nearest pedestrian crossing sign before you leave the car; the lot is large and can easily add 5 extra minutes to your return if you forget where you parked.
