Bodrum Airport Parking
How parking works at BJV, and what to know if you are dropping someone off or leaving a car for a fortnight.
Tariffs are not published here. Rates are set by the airport operator and revised periodically — they are displayed at the barrier and at the pay machines. For a current figure, call airport information on +90 252 523 01 01. The parking fees page explains how the tariff is structured.
How Parking Is Organised
Both terminal buildings have parking directly opposite. There are three kinds: an open area three to five minutes’ walk from the terminal, a covered area one to two minutes away that shelters the car from sun and rain, and a VIP valet area right at the door. All of them are covered by CCTV and staffed around the clock.
Charging is time-based. The first 15 minutes are free for drop-offs and pick-ups; beyond that you are charged from the first hour, and once you pass six hours the tariff switches to the daily rate. Long stays are billed at that daily rate.
Leaving a car for a two-week holiday is therefore a real cost — worth comparing against a return transfer or a taxi from home, particularly for anyone living in Milas, Güvercinlik or Bodrum itself.
The Three Areas Compared
⚠ For information only; compiled from internet sources, accuracy not guaranteed. Check the official source.
| Area | Walk to terminal | Best for | Reservation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Open | 3–5 minutes | Long stays and the most economical option | Not normally taken |
| Covered | 1–2 minutes | Summer heat, winter rain, shorter stays | Not normally taken |
| VIP / valet | At the terminal door | Early departures and premium convenience; car wash included | Bookable online in advance |
In July and August arrive earlier than you think you need to — the covered and VIP areas fill first.
Drop-Off and Pick-Up
For drop-offs, the free 15 minutes at the entry barrier is normally enough — say goodbye at the kerb rather than walking to check-in and you will not pay.
For pick-ups the timing is trickier. Do not enter the car park until your arriving passenger has actually cleared baggage reclaim; waiting inside burns through the free period while the bags are still on the belt. Check the arrivals board for the landing time and allow 30–40 minutes after touchdown, longer for an international arrival that has passport control to clear.
Payment is at the automatic machines before you return to the vehicle, by cash or card; some areas use number-plate recognition and accept payment online. Do not lose the entry ticket — the lost-ticket charge is high — and do not leave anything visible in the car.
Accessible Parking and Assistance
Designated spaces for disabled drivers are provided close to the terminal entrances. A valid disabled parking badge must be displayed in the vehicle.
Assistance inside the terminal is arranged by your airline, not by the airport or the car park operator: request it at least 48 hours before departure. Ramps, lifts and escort service from check-in to the aircraft are provided free of charge once it is booked.
Bodrum Parking — Frequently Asked Questions
Is there free drop-off at Bodrum Airport?
Yes — the first 15 minutes at the entry barrier are free, which is normally enough for a kerbside drop-off. Beyond that you are charged from the first hour.
How much is parking at Milas-Bodrum Airport?
Tariffs are set by the airport operator and change periodically, so no figure is published here. Rates are displayed at the barrier and the pay machines; for a current price call airport information on +90 252 523 01 01.
When should I enter the car park to collect someone?
Only after they have landed and cleared baggage reclaim — typically 30 to 40 minutes after touchdown, and longer for international arrivals with passport control. Check the arrivals board first.
Can I leave my car for two weeks?
Yes, at the daily long-stay rate; anything over six hours is charged daily. For a fortnight this adds up, so compare it against a return transfer before you decide.
Can I reserve a parking space in advance?
The VIP valet area can be booked online. The open and covered areas normally operate without reservation, but in July and August they fill up, so allow extra time.
