Nevşehir Kapadokya Airport (NAV) has an open-air car park operated by DHMİ (State Airports Authority) directly in front of the terminal building. It is open 24 hours a day, and the first 5 minutes are free — useful for quick drop-offs and pick-ups. This guide gives you the complete 2026 tariff for cars, motorcycles, and larger vehicles, plus tips on weekly and monthly passes.
Rates are based on the DHMİ 2026 tariff, effective 01.01.2026. Confirm current prices with airport staff or at dhmi.gov.tr before parking.

Exemptions (documentation required):
- Disabled persons — up to 15 days free per trip
- Veterans (gazi) — up to 15 days free per trip
- Martyr-family first-degree relatives — up to 15 days free per trip
Bring the relevant documentation (disability card, gazi certificate, or martyr-family document) to the car park desk.
Weekly and Monthly Passes — Is It Worth It?
If you're parking at NAV regularly — for example, as a business traveller or someone with a cave hotel near the airport — a weekly or monthly pass reduces the daily cost significantly.
| Option | Total Cost | Effective Daily Rate |
|---|---|---|
| Daily rate (480 TRY × 7 days) | 3,360 TRY | 480 TRY/day |
| 7–15 day pass | 3,840 TRY | ~256–549 TRY/day |
| Monthly pass | 6,140 TRY | ~205 TRY/day |
The 7–15 day pass works out more expensive than simply paying the daily rate for 7 days, but it covers up to 15 days — making it worthwhile only if you park for 9 or more days in the billing period. The monthly pass offers the best daily rate for frequent users.
How to Pay
The NAV car park accepts cash and card payments. There is no online pre-booking system — charges are calculated on exit based on the total time parked. Retain your entry ticket.
Payment flow:
- Take your ticket on entry (or the barrier registers your licence plate automatically)
- Pay at the machine or desk before returning to your car
- Exit within the validation window after payment (typically 15 minutes)
Parking vs Taxi Drop-Off — When to Park
Because Nevşehir Airport is relatively small and the surrounding area has limited public transport, many travellers to Cappadocia are dropped off and picked up by a hotel transfer, private car, or taxi. Parking at NAV makes most sense in these situations:
Park your own car when:
- You live in Nevşehir or nearby and are flying out without a hotel transfer
- You're on a multi-day Cappadocia trip and want your car waiting on return
- You're travelling with a large group where a taxi drop-off costs as much as parking
Use a transfer or taxi instead when:
- You're arriving from outside the region (most international visitors)
- You're staying at a cave hotel in Göreme, Ürgüp, or Uçhisar that offers airport pickup
- You don't want to navigate the Cappadocia roads after a long flight
