Daily rates here suit trips longer than 24 hours
Long Term Parking at Pune International Airport (PNQ) sits by the NITB terminal access road and prices its bays for stays of more than one full day. This is the lot you use if you’re leaving the car while you fly out for a week or more, rather than a quick overnight. Entry is via the same main airport approach used for departures, so you’re not hunting through side streets or back gates.
The lot operates 24 hours a day, in line with PNQ’s round-the-clock flight schedule, and sits within a short walk of the NITB departures gate. You drive up, take a ticket from the automated barrier, and pay the long-stay tariff when exiting. Tariffs are structured per day instead of per hour, so cost per 24 hours drops compared with the standard short-stay options closer to the terminal frontage.
This long-stay option uses open-air surface parking, laid out in marked lanes that can handle regular cars and small SUVs commonly used in Pune, but not oversized buses. Because it’s outside, you get easier navigation between aisles than in tight multi-level structures, and you can usually find space without circling for more than a few minutes. Lighting runs through the night, which suits late-night and early-morning departures that PNQ schedules heavily between 23:00 and 06:00.
Payment at Long Term Parking runs through the usual airport booth or machine set-up, typically taking cash and standard bank cards issued in India. Keep the entry ticket dry and flat in the car so the barcode still scans when you exit after 3–7 days away. One practical tip: build 15 extra minutes into your arrival time at PNQ to park here, walk to NITB, and clear the security queue comfortably before boarding starts.
