DXB Slashes Long‑Term Parking Fees Ahead of Busy Summer Season
Dubai International Airport has introduced sharply reduced long‑stay parking rates across all terminals, aiming to ease travel costs and reduce traffic congestion as passenger volumes surge. From 10 to 30 June, motorists can park for three days at AED 100, a week at AED 200, or up to 14 days at AED 300—a significant reduction from regular tariffs. The move addresses growing demand at DXB, where the airport expects to handle over 250,000 passengers daily throughout June. By promoting cleared official parking over short‑stay drop‑offs, operators anticipate smoother terminal entry and departure flows, improving the overall passenger experience. Under standard parking schemes, a single extra day could cost upwards of AED 75 beyond the first 24 hours. With the new rates, three days now cost AED 100, a seven‑day stay AED 200, and a 14‑day period AED 300, offering substantial savings. ADVERTISEMENT Terminals 1 Car Park B, Terminal 2, and Terminal 3 are included in the offer, enabling travellers using any departure point to benefit. Equally, those collecting arriving passengers may park for the same rates, promoting better use of official car parks instead of prolonged waiting on curbside lanes. Airport officials underline that the discount is part of a wider strategy to prepare for one of DXB's busiest periods. The summer schedule often triggers bottlenecks at terminal entrances, especially during peak departure windows. Freeing up curbside lanes by encouraging long‑stay parking is expected to alleviate those issues. DXB is deploying additional digital navigation tools to support this effort. Its DXB Express Maps service offers real‑time wayfinding via QR codes on flight information displays, enabling passengers to locate car parks, check‑in zones, gates, amenities and lounges with minimal confusion. Earlier implementation of Smart Gates for passengers over 12 aims to expedite passport control, further speeding up terminal throughput. Emirates has also reinforced passenger convenience ahead of high travel volumes. The airline continues to promote home collection, early check‑in, and city check‑in services, allowing smoother movement before arriving at DXB. Non‑Emirates travellers are encouraged to arrive no more than three hours before departure and to leverage online check‑in to cut queuing times. Logistics surrounding baggage are also being tightened. Airport guidance strongly urges passengers to weigh bags in advance, assemble travel documents early, and pack spare batteries and power banks in carry‑on luggage only, to avoid delays and security hold‑ups. The multi‑pronged initiative dovetails with broader transport planning efforts in Dubai. The Roads and Transport Authority has extended Metro services to Terminals 1 and 3, providing an effective alternative to private vehicle access and reducing terminal traffic. DXB's passenger figures are at an all‑time high: 23.4 million travellers passed through the airport in the first quarter of 2025, a 1.5 per cent increase year‑on‑year. January alone recorded 8.5 million passengers—an airport record. India remains the leading source market with around 3 million passengers in Q1, followed by Saudi Arabia, the UK, Pakistan, the USA and Germany. At city level, London handled 935,000 travellers, then Riyadh, Jeddah, Mumbai and New Delhi. This rate adjustment forms part of the airport authority's commitment to delivering a friction‑free journey and balancing infrastructure usage. By incentivising pre‑arrival parking, DXB aims to better manage curbside access, enhance passenger comfort, and ensure optimal usage of its parking facilities during peak travel times. In tandem with parking cuts, elaborate service continuity plans are in place. Assistance for passengers with special needs is bolstered through clearly signposted routes, dedicated assistance lounges—such as in Terminal 2—and staff trained with Sunflower pin‑scannable identification. Passengers are also reminded to allow extra time for journeys to the airport, as local roads may experience congestion peaks during busy hours. Officials emphasise that this temporary parking arrangement is a strategic move that aligns with their overarching mission of enhancing passenger flow and travel ease during Dubai's high‑traffic summer season.
