Driving to KLIA or KLIA2 and leaving the car while you fly? Where you park can make a difference of a few hundred ringgit on a one-week trip. This guide compares every practical option - the terminal car parks, the Long Term Car Park, and the cheaper park-and-ride car parks along the KLIA Transit line - including the train fares you’d add on top.
Quick answer
- Picking someone up, or a few hours: park at the terminal - KLIA Short Term Car Park (Terminal 1) or Gateway@klia2 (Terminal 2).
- 2 to 8 days, on the airport: the Long Term Car Park (LTCP) with its free shuttle - capped at RM32 a day.
- 9 days or more from KLIA2: Gateway@klia2’s daily maximum drops to RM10 from day 7, so it can end up cheaper than the LTCP.
- Cheapest overall for 1-2 people: Salak Tinggi Park & Ride, then KLIA Transit to the airport (RM4.90 per adult each way).
- Travelling as a family of 4 or more: add up the train fares first - the LTCP is often just as cheap and there’s no train to catch.

On the airport
1. KLIA Terminal 1 - Short Term Car Park (Blocks A, B and C)
Covered walkways straight to the terminal. Ideal for pick-ups, drop-offs and short stays, but capped at RM52 a day, so it’s the most expensive choice for a long trip.
2. KLIA Terminal 1 - Long Term Car Park @ Blocks A & B
The same walk to the terminal, with a lower daily charge from day 4 (RM30 instead of RM52). Worth it if you want to walk straight to check-in on a longer trip and don’t mind paying more than the LTCP.
3. KLIA2 - Gateway@klia2
The KLIA2 car park, linked to the terminal through the Gateway mall. RM55 a day for the first 4 days, then the daily maximum falls to RM20 (day 5), RM15 (day 6) and RM10 from day 7 - which makes it surprisingly good value on very long trips.
4. Long Term Car Park (LTCP) - for both terminals
A separate open car park near the Malaysia Airports training centre, with a free shuttle bus to both KLIA and KLIA2. Capped at RM32 a day - the cheapest on-airport option for most multi-day trips. Allow extra time for the shuttle, and take a photo of your bay number.
Off the airport: park-and-ride on the KLIA Transit line
KLIA Transit stops at Salak Tinggi, Putrajaya & Cyberjaya, Bandar Tasik Selatan (TBS) and KL Sentral on its way to both terminals. Parking at one of these stations is much cheaper than the airport - but every passenger needs a train ticket, so the closer the station is to the airport, the better the deal.
KLIA Transit fares to KLIA T1 or T2, per adult each way (Oct 2026): Salak Tinggi RM4.90 · Putrajaya & Cyberjaya RM9.40 · Bandar Tasik Selatan RM38.40. Children aged 6-15 pay about half; under 6 travel free.
5. Salak Tinggi Park & Ride - the best value
Right next to Salak Tinggi station, one stop from KLIA T1 (about 7 minutes) and 10 minutes from KLIA2. From 1 October 2026 it costs RM5 for the day in the covered car park (RM4 in the open car park), RM12 for the first night and RM17 for each further day. The first train to the airport leaves at 5.32am and the last at 12.32am.

6. Putrajaya Sentral - handy if you live in Putrajaya, Cyberjaya or Bangi
RM1.15 an hour, capped at RM9.20 a day, plus RM4.60 for each night (midnight to 6am). The train to the airport is RM9.40 per adult each way and takes about 17 minutes to KLIA T1.
7. TBS (Bandar Tasik Selatan) - cheap parking, expensive train
Parking at TBS is capped at RM10 for the first day and RM6 a day after that. But the KLIA Transit fare from Bandar Tasik Selatan is RM38.40 per adult each way, so it only makes sense for a solo traveller who lives nearby - for most people Salak Tinggi or the LTCP is cheaper door to door.
Before you drive
- Check your terminal. KLIA Terminal 1 and KLIA2 are separate buildings with separate car parks. Your booking shows which one you fly from.
- Landing late? The last KLIA Transit train leaves KLIA2 at 12.30am and KLIA T1 at 12.34am. If your flight lands after midnight, park on the airport instead.
- Allow for the transfer. Add 20-30 minutes for the LTCP shuttle or the park-and-ride train, more off-peak and at weekends, when trains run every 30 minutes.
- Touch ‘n Go card: don’t use the same card to enter another car park before you’ve exited the first one - the card may not let you out.
- Not driving? KLIA Ekspres runs non-stop from KL Sentral to both terminals (RM55 per adult each way).
