Short‑term vs Long‑term Parking CPT: Which to Choose?
Choosing the right parking depends entirely on your travel duration. Here’s a quick comparison:
- Short-Term Parking (P1 & P2): Best for stays under 48 hours, for pick-ups, or drop-offs. While the daily rate is higher, it offers maximum convenience and covered parking close to the terminal.
- Long-Term Parking (P3, P4 & P5): The most cost-effective option for trips longer than two days. The daily rate is significantly lower, making it ideal for holidays and extended business travel.
