What to compare before booking parking at this airport.
Official airport parking is usually inside or right next to the airport area. Private parking is located nearby and may include a free shuttle, valet or meet & greet service. Neither is always better — compare distance, transfer time, opening hours, security, cancellation terms and total price for your dates.
Many private car parks transfer travellers to the terminal in a free shuttle. Before booking, confirm which terminal is served, the first and last shuttle of the day, the typical transfer time and luggage capacity. Schedules can change — confirm with the provider before travelling.
Meet & greet means a driver collects your car at departures and returns it on arrival. It is useful for families, heavy luggage, business travellers, early-morning flights or reduced mobility. Availability is not guaranteed at every Spanish airport — check the meeting point, handover process and insurance with the provider first.
For stays of several days, check if the parking is covered or outdoor, fenced and monitored by CCTV, shuttle frequency, real distance to the terminal, reviews and cancellation conditions. Before leaving your car, take photos of its condition and the parking location, lock valuables out of sight and keep your booking confirmation accessible.
Low-cost private parkings outside the airport perimeter are usually the cheapest, especially for stays of 3+ days. They include a free shuttle to the terminal.
Yes. Official parkings are operated by the airport authority, fenced, lit and monitored 24/7. They are the closest to the terminal but typically the most expensive option.
