Parking solutions
Once the passenger arrives in front of the terminal building, the simplified parking options await the passenger. The parking facility can accommodate 2000 cars. The system used for the parking management is fully automated, efficient and transparent and is provided by SKIDATA™, a leading global provider of car park systems at airports. Central Parking Solutions (CPS), India’s largest car park operator, will manage parking at the new airport.

The parking facilities at the new airport have been designed to offer passengers a cheaper and more flexible option. A 10 minute free drop off facility (no parking) has been created in front of the terminal building to facilitate the passengers. For parking, various zones have been created - these include long term parking, short term parking & two wheelers, general parking and taxis.

Car parking fees have been priced at Rs.40/- for two hours and Rs.20/- for every additional hour in the general parking area. For overnight parking, Rs. 300 will be charged for the first 24 hours and Rs. 200 for every additional day. An airport parking map has been developed to help passengers use the facilities depending on their requirement.

Bengaluru International Airport will also provide valet parking, a dedicated zone for tour operator buses and premium pick up areas. Travellers can be assured that parking, getting picked up or dropped off at the new airport will be convenient and well organised.
Facilities for differently abled passengers at the parking lot
At the new airport, careful thought has gone into planning of facilities to ensure convenience of differently-abled passengers as well. Vehicles with differently-abled passengers have access to the valet lane which is the closest access point to the terminal building on the curb side. Each parking zone has upto twelve parking spaces reserved for differently abled passengers. In addition, the walkways from the parking area to the passenger terminal building have gently sloping ramps throughout and are wide enough to accommodate a large electric powered wheelchair. The public convenience buildings located in the car park area have toilets designed for differently abled passengers and visitors to the airport.
