Piarco Airport Parking Guide

Last verified: October 27, 2026, against the Trinidad Express and 103.1FM reports of October 26, 2026 on the Airports Authority's notice, and the authority's own parking page, which had not been updated when we read it. We will re-check the page after November 1.

Disclosure: ParkingAccess sells no parking at Piarco or at A.N.R. Robinson and earns nothing from this page. It exists because the new rates are announced in news reports while the airport's own page still shows the old ones.

Piarco's public car park is about to get 50 percent more expensive. The Airports Authority of Trinidad and Tobago announced the new rates in a public notice, and the change takes effect on November 1, 2026. Below is the full rate card, the two rules that decide which rate you pay, and what the increase does to a typical trip.

What the Airports Authority will charge from November 1

Piarco's hourly rate rises from TT$10 to TT$15, the daily rate from TT$63 to TT$95 and the monthly rate from TT$750 to TT$1,125, effective November 1, 2026 (Trinidad Express and 103.1FM, October 26, 2026). The notice and both reports print plain dollar signs; Trinidad and Tobago's currency is the TT dollar, so read every figure here as TT$.

RateUntil October 31From November 1Increase
Hourly (stays under 6 hours)TT$10TT$15TT$5, or 50%
Daily (6 to 24 hours)TT$63TT$95TT$32, or 50.8%
Monthly (12 or more consecutive days)TT$750TT$1,125TT$375, or 50%
  • Which rate applies: the hourly rate covers parking for less than six hours. Six hours or more is charged the daily rate, which allows parking for up to 24 hours (Trinidad Express, 103.1FM).
  • The monthly rule: the monthly rate applies to 12 or more consecutive days, so you pay it instead of piling up daily fees. Neither report says what happens past 30 days, so ask the car park office if your trip is longer.
  • The airport's own page is stale: the Airports Authority's parking page still listed TT$10, TT$63 and TT$750 for Piarco when we read it on October 27, 2026. Until it is updated, the news reports of the public notice are the source for the new figures.
  • Not a first: TV6 reported the same TT$10, TT$63 and TT$750 for an increase effective July 1, 2016, so the old rates appear to have held for about ten years (TV6, June 14, 2016).

What the A.N.R. Robinson car park in Tobago will charge

The reports say rates at both airports increase on November 1, but they publish only one set of figures, and those match Piarco's old rates. The authority's page lists different current rates for A.N.R. Robinson: TT$7 an hour, TT$45 a day and TT$540 a month. Tobago's new figures are not confirmed, so do not assume TT$15 and TT$95 apply there.

What the increase does to a trip

A three-day trip goes from TT$189 to TT$285 and a seven-day trip from TT$441 to TT$665. A five-hour wait costs TT$75, and a six-hour stay costs TT$95, so the sixth hour adds only TT$20. These are ParkingAccess arithmetic from the notice's rates, not published prices, and they assume no grace period or lost-ticket fee, because neither is in the reports.

14 daysTT$750TT$1,125Monthly
  • The 12-day crossover: at the new daily rate, 12 days would cost TT$1,140, so the monthly rate saves TT$15. At 11 days the daily rate is still cheaper, TT$1,045 against TT$1,125. Under the old rates, 12 days cost TT$756 daily against TT$750 monthly, so the break-even has not moved.
  • The six-hour cliff: five hours is TT$75 and six hours is TT$95, so a stay that creeps past the sixth hour costs TT$20 for that hour, not TT$15.
  • A fortnight away: 14 days at the daily rate would be TT$1,330, so the monthly rate saves TT$205.

How the public car park works

You take a ticket at the entry machine, choose a vacant space using the digital signage, and pay by cash or card at a Pay on Foot kiosk in the atrium of the North Terminal before scanning the ticket at the exit machine (Airports Authority of Trinidad and Tobago, read October 27, 2026).

  • Pay before you reach the exit: the kiosks are inside the terminal, so allow time to walk back from the departures hall if you pay on leaving.
  • No reservations on the page: the authority's page describes a ticket-and-kiosk car park and does not mention booking ahead.
