Parking Garage 3

6,642 covered spaces right beside Terminal 3

Garage 3 sits next to Terminal 3 at PEK and gives you a covered, short-stay option that’s a 5-minute walk from the check-in halls. If you’re flying in or out of T3 and don’t want shuttle buses or remote lots, this is the main structure people use.

This is the big one: Blacklane reports 6,642 spaces across 4 levels, so finding a spot is usually easier here than around the older T1/T2 side. It’s fully covered, so your car is out of Beijing’s sun, dust, and winter snow while you’re in the terminal.

Pricing follows the airport’s standard garage scheme: the first 15 minutes are free, then expect roughly ¥6–10 per 30–60 minutes, capped around ¥80–140 per calendar day. That works fine for a pickup, drop-off, or a one- or two-day trip, but it adds up fast once you cross into multi-day territory.

There’s no separate “long-term” rate here, so parking 4–5 days in Garage 3 can outstrip the cost of the dedicated long-term lot near Terminal 3. The trade-off is time: walking from this garage to T3’s departures area takes about 5 minutes, versus factoring in shuttle waits from remote parking.

Layout is straightforward: ramps between the 4 levels, pay machines by pedestrian exits, and clear pedestrian paths into Terminal 3. You’re under cover right up until you enter the main T3 building, which helps during summer storms and winter cold snaps.

Tip: Use Garage 3 for T3 stays of 24–48 hours; for anything longer, run the math against the T3 long-term lot before you lock in several days at ¥80–140 per day.
