Parking at Copenhagen Airport: Prices, Car Parks, and Where It's Cheapest

The short answer

The cheapest parking at Copenhagen Airport (CPH) almost always comes from pre-booking online and choosing a long-stay car park slightly further from the terminal rather than turning up and paying the drive-up rate at the barrier. Travelling at a peak time? Check live availability and book ahead — the closest car parks can fill up.

The different car parks at CPH

Copenhagen Airport has several parking types, and the price mostly tracks walking distance to the terminal and how long you stay:

  • Short-stay / garage near the terminal — most expensive per hour, but handy for pickups, drop-offs, and very short stays.
  • Long-stay — built for multi-day trips; much cheaper per day, often with a short walk or shuttle.
  • Premium / valet / close-to-terminal — convenience at a premium.

How to find the cheapest parking

  • Pre-book. Online advance rates are almost always lower than the barrier price.
  • Trade walking distance for price. Car parks further out are cheaper — factor the shuttle time into your arrival plan.
  • Match the car park to your trip length. Short-stay for pickups, long-stay for the holiday.
  • Compare official airport parking with nearby private operators — but only if the transfer time doesn't undo the saving.
