Thanks Shashank

I have once parked from early morning (5.30 am) to 11 at night and if the memory serves me correctly it was definitely not more than 150 rupees, probably less.

Hi everyone,

So it is a guarded parking lot? Is it possible to park a motorbike there as well, and leave the helmets under some supervision? We are planning to do a weekend trip and want to leave the bike in front of NDLS from tomorrow, i.e. Friday to Monday.

Thanks for reply.

These days a better option is to park at one of the adjacent metro stations. it is 20/- per day.

Thanks karnail! I think I know one of these by Pragati Madian, but do is there anything closer to NDLS?

It will depend on the side you are coming from.

Maybe too late?

1) You can park on either side of the station. Guarded? Well, there are attendants all the time. You'd have to ask about leaving your helmets.
One bit of advice: Leave as little gas in the tank as possible!

2) It's 15 bucks for the first 2 or 4 hours (forget which). Thereafter hourly rates; and there shud be a 24-hour rate as well (if you'd asked after the coming Tuesday, I cud have told you exactly ).

They have provision to keep helmets, for which they charge separately.
just make sure you park towards the end, or close to any side wall.

Hey everyone,

Thanks for the help! The weekend was awsome, though the return train was late 4 hours ;-)

We parked the motorbike at NDLS on the side of Paharganj (NW of the platforms), just near the exit gate. The rate for every 24 hrs is 50 rs, so Friday - Monday cost us 150 rs. Helmets 10 rs, independent how long you park. And no gas was stolen from the tank, so I think I can recommend this guarded parking lot.

...all the rates for the Ajmeri Gate side.

Cars
First 2 hours - Rs. 15
2 to 6 hours - Rs. 25
6 to 12 hours - Rs. 40
12 to 24 hours - Rs. 100

Motorcycles/scooters
First 2 hours - Rs. 5
2 to 6 hours - Rs. 10
6 to 12 hours - Rs. 20
12 to 24 hours - Rs. 30
Helmets - one-time charge of Rs. 2

Bicycles
First 2 hours - Rs. 2
2 to 6 hours - Rs. 3
6 to 12 hours - Rs. 4
12 to 24 hours - Rs. 5


Notes:
1) Pattern repeats after 24 hours (e.g. you park for 33 hours, you pay for 24 hrs + 6-12 hr slab).
2) Bold figures - cheaper than on Paharganj side!!
3) Bicycle parking in same lot as other 2-wheelers.

This weekend before the trip to MP we parked the motorbike at Nizamuddin, just near the western entrance. Seems the prices are similar to those of NDLS Paharganj side - 50 rs for every 24 hrs. They didn't charge us for the helmets though.

So dude, do you intend to write about your driving experiences as well, or just your parking experiences?
