Main Car Park A

RM24 per day gets you covered parking right at T1

Main Car Park A is the multi-storey block attached to Penang International Airport T1, with around 1,742 bays and a covered walkway straight into the terminal. It’s a 3‑minute walk to check‑in, so you park, grab your bags, and you’re at departures without waiting for a shuttle or crossing big roads.

Rates sit at RM2.00 per hour, capped at RM24.00 for 12–24 hours on the standard levels. That cap makes short trips of 1–3 days fairly reasonable, but locals on Facebook grumble that longer stays quickly climb past the cost of just using Grab from town. If you’re leaving the car for 5–7 days, do the math before pulling a ticket.

Level 3 is the premium section, flagged in Trip.com write‑ups as “more convenient, closer access” and priced much higher, up to around RM76 per day. Other levels usually top out closer to RM24–33 per day, and a Facebook comment about “RM33 x 6” for 6 days hints that some zones sit on that higher ceiling. Read the rate boards carefully at the ramp before committing to a level.

Regular airport users often skip Level 3 entirely and park on the lower or upper non‑premium decks to keep the daily total near that RM24 guide rate. Many frequent flyers don’t park at all and just call Grab, which FlyerTalk users say is cheap around Penang and avoids multi‑day fees stacking up at the airport.

Tip: On arrival, follow signs to the multi‑storey, loop past the Level 3 entrance, and aim for a standard bay; snap a quick photo of your pillar number so you can walk the 3 minutes back to your car without hunting each floor.
