How to save on airport parking by choosing the right type

Short stays: when official nearby makes sense

For a trip of one or two days, the time and cost of an additional shuttle to a cheaper but further car park can eliminate the price advantage: in these cases an official car park within walking distance is often comparable, if not more convenient.

Long stays: the low-cost advantage grows every day

For longer stays, the difference between official car parks and private facilities with shuttle widens every additional day, reaching savings of 60-70% on the longest stays: beyond a certain duration, the shuttle becomes almost always the most convenient choice.

Night flights and inconvenient times: check shuttle schedules

Those returning with a night flight or at rarely scheduled times should verify that the shuttle service is active 24 hours a day before being guided only by price: an economical facility but with limited routes at certain times can become a logistical problem on arrival.

Heavy luggage or large family: direct transfer counts

Those traveling with heavy luggage or large family may find it more convenient, net of cost, a service with direct transfer to the car compared to a cheaper car park but logistically more complex. To navigate the options, the criteria for choosing between official and private car park help to understand which solution best suits your trip.

Before booking, calculate the total cost for the exact duration of your stay, not the daily rate: beyond three or four days, a car park with free shuttle almost always makes sense compared to an official one near the terminal.
