The large parking area of Istanbul International Airport can cause difficulty in determining where to park for arrivals and departures.
Thanks to our Istanbul Airport parking guide, you can use the parking lot in the most efficient way.
There are 6 parking floors in the parking lot, between P1-P6, and a floor R for rental cars.
There are also parking areas in 5 colors for each floor. Therefore, when you leave your car, you need to remember not only your floor and parking number, but also which color parking area you parked in.
Colors on Car Park Floors
When you arrive at the Istanbul Airport parking lot, there are entrances to the parking areas in the following colors: Turquoise, Green, Orange, Red, Blue.
Entrances from the Turquoise and Green sides are close to the domestic check-in counters, the other colors are close to the international check-in counters.
