KLIA & KLIA 2: free parking? You bet

Traveling is thrilling, but airport parking fees can quickly dampen the excitement.

Look no further, budget-savvy flyers! This guide unlocks the secrets to free parking at both KLIA (Kuala Lumpur International Airport) and KLIA 2.

Great news! Both KLIA and KLIA 2 boast designated free parking zones for those picking up or dropping off passengers. These zones are perfect for quick hellos and goodbyes, typically offering a grace period of 15-30 minutes. Remember to check signage for specific time limits to avoid any unwanted charges.

For extended stays, the KLIA Long-Term Car Park (LTCP) offers a free, albeit slightly less convenient, option. Located near the Malaysia Airports Training Centre (MATC), the LTCP provides ample parking spaces and a complimentary shuttle service that delivers you directly to the terminals every 10-15 minutes.

Here's the lowdown on KLIA Long-Term Parking:

Location: Follow signs for the LTCP after passing the Mitsui Outlet Park KLIA on the KLIA Expressway.

Parking Fees: Free for the first day! Standard parking rates apply after the free period.

Shuttle Service: Runs frequently between the LTCP and both terminals.

Travel Time: Factor in extra time for the shuttle ride, especially during peak hours.

Important Reminders for Free Parking:

Always be vigilant of parking regulations and time limits to avoid fines.

Consider traffic conditions when factoring in travel time from the LTCP to the terminals.

While free parking exists, alternative paid parking options closer to the terminals might be more suitable for some travelers, especially those with limited time or heavy luggage.

Planning Your KLIA/KLIA 2 Parking Strategy:

Quick Pick-Up/Drop-Off: Utilize the designated free pick-up/drop-off zones.

Extended Stays on a Budget: Consider the LTCP if you're comfortable with the shuttle ride.

Convenience Matters: Opt for paid parking closer to the terminals for faster access or heavy luggage situations.

By following these tips, you can navigate the KLIA parking scene like a pro, saving money and ensuring a smooth travel experience. Now, pack your bags, book those flights, and conquer the world, all while keeping your wallet happy!
