2–3 minute walk from T1 departures, right across the road
Parking Lot P1 sits directly opposite Taiwan Taoyuan’s T1, signed as the official short‑term option for this terminal. It’s the closest car park to the T1 check‑in hall, so you stay on the airport loop road for only a few seconds after you see the T1 curb. This lot is set up for quick drop‑offs, pick‑ups, and same‑day trips rather than long holidays.
P1 is a multi‑level structure with marked pedestrian paths feeding straight toward the T1 departure and arrival doors. Because it is the designated short‑term lot for T1, spaces near the elevators tend to turn over quickly as drivers run in to meet arriving flights. Signage is in both Chinese and English, and pay stations accept standard local cards plus cash, which helps if you’ve just landed back into TPE.
Pricing in P1 is set at short‑stay rates, with costs calculated by the hour rather than stacked daily discounts. That math works well if you’re parking for a few hours to escort family to check‑in, grab a meal in T1, or wait out a delay. If you’re thinking about leaving the car for several days, compare totals against the airport’s longer‑stay options around the T1/T2 complex before committing.
Access is off the main airport ring road that serves both T1 and T2, with clear “P1” signs appearing a few hundred meters before the T1 forecourt. Lanes split early for private cars and commercial vehicles, so stay alert for your turnoff. The walk from the nearest P1 stairwell to the central T1 doors is only a few minutes on a covered path, which matters in summer heat or heavy rain.
Tip: If you’re just doing a fast meet‑and‑greet at T1, park on a lower P1 level close to the terminal‑side exits so you cut your return time to the car to under five minutes.
