Long Term Parking Lots 21 and 22

On peak holiday dates, Lots 21 and 22 are the overflow

These long‑term fields sit about 0.5 miles from the main TLV parking core and usually open only when Lot 15 starts to fill, especially around Jewish holidays and school breaks. They use the same unroofed long‑stay setup as the main long‑term area, so you’re basically trading location for availability when the airport is slammed.

Pricing runs a flat 50 NIS per day, matching the other open‑air long‑term lots published by the airport authority. For a 7‑day trip you’re looking at roughly 350 NIS, which often still beats off‑airport private lots once you factor in extra transfers. Payment follows the usual TLV pattern: pull a ticket on entry, then pay at a machine or exit gate on return.

The shuttle loop to Terminals 1 and 3 takes about 15 minutes from Lots 21 and 22, with buses typically running every 10–20 minutes when these fields are active. Add this to your usual TLV buffer: if you’d normally arrive 2.5 hours before departure, make it closer to 3 hours on days where overflow is likely to be in use.

Complaints focus on the longer ride and the layout. Several travelers say the remote fields feel less organized than Lot 15 and that finding your car again in the dark after a red‑eye can drag, especially when the lot is packed from holiday traffic. Expect extra time both after landing and when exiting, since most cars leave in the same tight window after peak flights.

Regulars try to avoid airport long‑term on the eve of major Jewish holidays, since that’s when Lots 21 and 22 are most chaotic and slowest. If you know you’re flying on a high‑season date, plan to enter the airport road system at least 30 minutes earlier than usual and use your phone to snap a photo of your row sign and nearest shuttle stop before you walk away.
