Parking Guide for Mexico City Airport (AICM)
The Mexico City Airport offers several parking options, both within its facilities and at nearby external services. The right choice will depend on your budget, the length of your stay, and your priority between convenience and cost. Below is a detailed analysis of the options, based on user experience, to help you make the best decision.
Frequently Asked Questions about Parking
What is the cheapest option?
For stays of one day or more, the Park'n Fly service is significantly cheaper than the official airport parking lots. For 24 hours, the Park'n Fly rate is MXN 240.00, while the AICM rate is MXN 378.00.
What is the most convenient option?
The official AICM parking lots are the most convenient option due to their direct access to the terminals. They are ideal if you are traveling with a lot of luggage, have reduced mobility, or simply want to minimize transfer time.
Are the parking lots safe?
In general, yes. They have 24-hour surveillance and security cameras. However, as in any public place, it is recommended not to leave valuables in plain sight inside the vehicle.
How do you pay for official parking?
You can pay directly at the exit booths or, for greater convenience and speed, use the automatic prepayment machines located inside the terminals before heading to your car.
Traveler's Guide: Critical Parking Points
Saturation and the Search for a Space
The main point of friction, especially in the Terminal 2 parking lot, is that it is often full. Finding an available spot can take a considerable amount of time and add stress to your arrival. Your strategy: arrive with extra time, especially if you are traveling during high season or peak hours. Be patient and prepared to drive around several times to find a space.
The Condition of the Facilities
The convenience of the official parking is sometimes overshadowed by a lack of maintenance. Users report problems such as potholes, out-of-service elevators, and cleanliness that could be improved. Your strategy: drive carefully inside the parking lot to avoid damage to your vehicle from potholes. If you rely on elevators, keep in mind that you might find them inoperative.
Signage and Forgetfulness
In the rush to catch a flight, it's very easy to forget where you left your car. The internal signage for spots and levels can be confusing or insufficient, making it difficult to remember the location. Your strategy: before you leave, take a photo with your phone of the spot number, row, and level where you parked. It's a simple gesture that will save you a lot of time and frustration upon your return.

User experience:
Travelers greatly value the convenience of being able to walk directly to the terminal, especially when traveling with a lot of luggage or with children. The perception of security is high. However, the main criticisms focus on the high cost, frequent saturation, and the poor condition of some facilities like the elevators and pavement.

Users who choose this option do so mainly for the significant monetary savings. The shuttle van service to the terminals is generally well-regarded for its frequency and speed. It is a very popular option for those leaving their car for several days.
