Steps to Pay for Delhi Airport Parking

1. Entry: Upon entering a designated parking area, an automated system will typically dispense a parking ticket with a timestamp. Some areas, particularly drop-off/pick-up lanes at T3, might use ANPR and have boom barriers. Keep any issued ticket safe.
2. Park Vehicle: Proceed to an available bay in the correct zone for your vehicle type.
3. Payment: Before returning to your vehicle to exit (or sometimes at the exit plaza), locate a parking payment counter or automated payment kiosk. These are usually situated near terminal access points or within the car parks.
4. At the Payment Point: Present your parking ticket. The fee will be calculated based on your duration of stay.
5. Complete Payment: Pay the amount using accepted methods.
6. Exit: After payment, you'll receive a receipt, or your ticket will be validated. Proceed to the exit barrier and submit your validated ticket or follow instructions if ANPR is used.

Accepted Payment Methods for Delhi Airport Parking

As per the references and common practice at major Indian airports:

• Cash: Indian Rupees (INR).
• Credit/Debit Cards: Major domestic and international cards (Visa, MasterCard, RuPay).
• Prepaid Cards/FASTag: Some airport parking facilities in India are integrating with FASTag for automatic payment, and prepaid card facilities might be available, potentially offering discounts. Check for signage and specific instructions at the parking areas.

Online Payment Methods for Delhi Airport Parking

As general online pre-booking isn't a prominent feature, dedicated online payment methods for securing parking before arrival are not standard. However, if using app-based services or FASTag for payment, those would constitute an "online" transaction at the point of exit or entry.
