Accessible Parking

Five-minute walk from car to North Terminal doors

Accessible Parking at Piarco sits in the main surface lot right next to the North Terminal, so you’re about a 5 minute walk from car to check-in. Spaces closest to the entrance are the de facto accessible option, with curb cuts and ramps reported at the terminal doors even if the bay markings themselves feel basic.

Rates run $20.00 per day and $140.00 per week, so costs match the standard car park rather than any premium section. That works for trips of a few days up to a full week, and you’re still only a short roll or walk from the terminal if you grab one of the first rows near the entrance.

Reviews mention that the walk from the car park to the North Terminal check-in hall is only a few minutes, but sidewalks and drainage can be uneven, especially after heavy rain. If you use a wheelchair, walker, or cane, plan for some rough patches between the closest rows and the automatic doors.

Inside the terminal, travellers report wheelchair assistance available at the main entrance and check-in counters, especially for elderly passengers. Families often drop the person needing help at the curb, request an airport wheelchair right there, then the driver loops back to park in Accessible Parking at the standard $20.00 daily rate.

Regulars say staffing for wheelchair assistance can thin out late at night and in the very early morning hours before the first bank of flights. If you’re catching a 02:00–05:00 departure from the North Terminal and need extra help, add 20–30 minutes to your usual arrival time.

Practical tip: on rainy days, aim for the first one or two rows closest to the terminal to keep that 5 minute walk as short and dry as possible, and request wheelchair help right at the curb before the driver heads to park.
