Car Park 1

Flat MOP 6/hour gets you into Car Park 1 at MTB

Car Park 1 at Macau International (MTB) is one of the airport’s two small outdoor lots flanking the terminal building, with pricing listed at a flat MOP 6 per hour for private cars. It’s classed as short-stay, with no clearly advertised daily or multi‑day cap, so think in hourly blocks rather than “park for a week and forget it.”

Walk time from the lot to the terminal is about 1 minute, since these car parks sit directly in front of the MTB building. You park in uncovered, open‑air spaces, then cross straight into the departures hall. There’s no shuttle, no levels to deal with, and no separate structure; what you see from the curb is essentially what you get for Car Park 1.

Macau airport’s official table shows only two landside car parks with limited spaces, serving both private cars and motorcycles. That tight supply, plus the hourly MOP 6 rate and short‑stay label, makes Car Park 1 a stopgap option for quick drop‑offs, pick‑ups, or very short trips rather than a true long‑term base.

FlyerTalk regulars trading tips on Macau transport mostly talk about taxis and hotel shuttles, and almost nobody mentions actually leaving a car in Car Park 1 overnight. That lines up with the airport’s own emphasis on buses, shuttles, and cabs instead of big parking decks. If you’re staying in Cotai or the city, a metered taxi to MTB usually beats watching the hourly meter tick in this lot.

Practical tip: If you do use Car Park 1, run the math at MOP 6 x anticipated hours before you drive out; once your stay creeps over a day or two, a taxi both ways usually pencils out cheaper and saves you hunting for one of the limited spaces.
