The parking lots at T2 have five payment methods: a parking booth, code scanning, self-service payment machines, central toll offices and a WeChat official account.
Central toll offices: the central toll offices are mainly located in the P8 parking garage, on the first, second and fourth floor respectively.
Self-service payment machines: self-service payment machines are installed mainly at the entrance and exit of each parking lot. The car owner can enter their license plate number in the self-service payment machine to check and pay their parking fee.
Code scanning: by scanning the payment QR code posted in the parking lot and entering the license plate number, the passenger can complete the payment.
WeChat official account: visitors can follow the "Baiyun Airport" WeChat official account to complete payment through the links.
Parking booth: cash, WeChat or Alipay payments can be completed at the booth while leaving the parking lot.
T2 shares the same parking fees with T1: Parking is free for the first 15 minutes in both the open parking lots and the parking garages. Free parking is offered only twice within 24 hours. Specifically:
| Parking time | First 15 minutes | First 2 hours | 3-10 hours | 10-24 hours | After 24 hours |
| Small motor vehicles | Free | RMB10/hour | RMB5/hour | RMB60 (based on the 10 hour total) | To be accumulated |
| Large motor vehicles | Free | RMB15/hour | RMB10/hour | RMB110 (based on the 10 hour total) | To be accumulated |
Note: An hourly rate will be charged for less than 1 hour of parking, and large motor vehicles will be charged for the number of parking spaces actually occupied.
For example, RMB(10+10+5) = RMB25 will be charged for 3 hours of parking, and RMB(10×2+5×8) = RMB60 will be charged for a day of parking. RMB(60+60) = RMB120 will be charged for two days of parking.
Baiyun Airport has added P6, P7 and P8 parking lots for T2.
The three parking lots are located on the south side of T2. P6 and P7 are outdoor parking lots and P8 is a parking garage. The three parking lots share three entrances and two exits. Two entrances are located on the west side of the outbound viaduct's upper section, and the other is connected to the bridge approach of the outbound viaduct (which leads directly to the fourth floor of the P8 parking lot). The exits are located on the east side of the outbound viaduct's lower section.
