Parking at Almaty Airport (ALA)

ALA has paid parking by the terminals, split the usual way: short-stay closer to the doors, long-stay further out.

What it costs

First 15 minutes are free, no more than 2 times a day. Payment is by number plate.

Operator tariffs, read from the boards on alaport.com on 4 September 2026. The airport publishes them as images only, so check the boards on site before you pay.

How it works

The zones follow the standard airport pattern: a short-stay area near the terminal fronts for pick-ups and drop-offs, and cheaper long-stay parking further from the doors.
Payment is settled when you leave, not when you arrive — follow the signage to the payment machines before returning to the barrier.
Expect the forecourt and short-stay area to be busiest in the small hours: a large share of ALA's international flights arrive and depart between midnight and 05:00, so night here is peak time, not quiet time.

Tips

Meeting a night arrival, use the short-stay zone rather than waiting at the kerb — the forecourt is at its busiest exactly when most international flights land.
Leaving a car for a trip? Compare the long-stay total against a round trip with a pre-booked transfer or app ride before deciding to drive.
Exact tariffs, zone boundaries and availability are on the official airport website — treat the boards at the entrance as final.

Not driving? A pre-booked transfer has a fixed price and flight tracking.
