Terminal 1 International Parking

Five-minute walk from MEX T1 check-in with this lot

Terminal 1 International Parking sits right next to the T1 building at Mexico City International Airport, and you walk to check-in in about 5 minutes. It’s a short-stay style garage, so it suits 1–3 day trips more than a week-long vacation. Daily maximum rate is about $391.00 MXN, which adds up quickly if you leave the car for several days at a time.

This facility lines up best with international flights departing from T1, not T2, and that terminal split at MEX matters. The lot is physically beside T1, so T2 travelers would need to use the inter-terminal transportation instead of just rolling bags straight in. If your airline ticket says T1 international, this is the closest official parking you’re going to get without involving a shuttle.

Pricing is straightforward: pay by the hour up to the $391.00 MXN daily cap, then repeat per 24-hour block. As a short-stay option, it makes more sense for a single workday or an overnight connection than for, say, a 10-day holiday. Metered taxi or app rides into the city often compare better on cost once you cross three or four full days of parking.

Data points from frequent flyers on crowds, security, and payment glitches are thin, so build in a time buffer. Being next to T1 means this lot is a first choice for many drivers, which can translate into peak-time pressure around morning bank departures. Have a backup in mind within the airport complex if you arrive close to your check-in cutoff.

Tip: Aim to park, lock up, and be walking into T1 at least 2 hours before an international departure from MEX, and earlier (2.5–3 hours) if you still need to check baggage at T1 counters.
