Long Stay Parking

Weekly rate lands at $100, so run the math first

Long Stay Parking at Taipei Songshan (TSA) runs $15.00 per day or $100.00 per week, and sits about 0.5 miles from the terminals. It’s the airport’s standard long‑stay option, mainly used by locals who insist on driving themselves. If your trip runs 6–7 days, compare that $100 against a couple of NT$300–400 taxi rides from central Taipei or an MRT fare of under NT$100 each way.

Walking time from Long Stay Parking to TSA’s Terminal 1 or Terminal 2 is about 10 minutes at a normal pace. That’s with luggage, on foot, no shuttle. Build in at least 15–20 minutes between locking the car and reaching check‑in so you’re not rushing security. In heavy rain, that 0.5‑mile walk feels longer, so pack an umbrella in the trunk.

Regulars on FlyerTalk threads about TSA often skip parking completely and take taxis, buses, or the MRT instead, even for multi‑day trips. One Asia forum poster points out that Taipei’s airport buses and taxis are cheap enough that leaving a car at the airport rarely pencils out. Most of the online chatter about TSA focuses on its downtown location, not on long‑term parking hacks or capacity issues.

There are no widely reported complaints about Long Stay Parking, mostly because so few frequent flyers seem to use it regularly or post data points. That means less real‑world intel on how fast it fills during peak holiday weeks or if the $15.00 daily rate ever flexes. Treat the published daily and weekly prices as your baseline and keep a little buffer in your budget.

Tip: If a round‑trip taxi from central Taipei comes in under the $100 weekly rate, leave the car at home and treat Songshan like a city station, not a place to store your vehicle.
