Which Parking Options Are There at Frankfurt Airport?
Parking should not be a worry when you fly from Frankfurt Airport (FRA). Operator Fraport runs a large network of multi-storey car parks and open-air lots covering every need, from a five-minute drop-off to several weeks of long-stay parking. The main choices are Terminal Parking, Business Parking, Economy Parking, Holiday Parking, eParking, valet parking and the free drop-off zones.
Car parks are spread across Terminal 1 and the new Terminal 3, and the free Sky Line train links them, so you can park at one terminal and travel to another in minutes. As a rule, the closer and more flexible the space, the higher the price — and booking online in advance is almost always cheaper than turning up and paying the gate rate. The prices below are approximate and change over time, so always confirm current rates when you book. For more practical tips, see our main Frankfurt Airport guide.
Terminal Parking
Terminal Parking covers the covered garages right next to the terminals (for example P2, P4, P8 and P9 around Terminal 1), only a short indoor walk from check-in. It suits short stays, pick-ups and drop-offs as well as shorter trips where convenience matters most.
Approximate Terminal Parking fees:
Up to 30 min: around €4
Up to 60 min: around €7.50
Maximum per day: around €43
Online, 1 week: from about €99
Business Parking
Business Parking offers extra-wide bays in a premium section very close to the terminal, aimed at travellers who want to park and walk straight in. Spaces can be pre-booked online for the best value.
Approximate Business Parking fees:
Up to 30 min: around €4
Up to 60 min: around €8.50
Maximum per day: around €49
Online, 1 day: from about €46
Economy Parking
Economy Parking is Fraport's price-conscious long-stay option, located in the Terminal 3 car park and available online only for stays of three days or more. From the car park the Sky Line reaches Terminal 1 in around eight minutes.
Approximate Economy Parking fees:
1 week: from about €68
2 weeks: from about €98
(roughly €7–10 per day)
Holiday Parking
Holiday Parking is another budget long-stay choice for travellers leaving a car for a week or more. Like Economy Parking it is cheapest when booked online in advance, with a short shuttle or Sky Line ride to the terminals.
Approximate Holiday Parking fees:
1 week: from about €64
Each additional day: a few euros more
eParking for Electric Vehicles
eParking combines a convenient garage space with an EV charging point. Rates are similar to Business Parking, and the electricity you use is billed separately from the parking fee.
Approximate eParking fees:
Up to 60 min: around €8.50
Maximum per day: around €49
Online, 1 day: from about €45
Plus charging costs
Valet Parking
With valet parking (PremiumParking) you hand your car over at the terminal kerb and a driver parks it for you; on your return the car is waiting close to arrivals. It is the most convenient option and priced accordingly, above the standard garages — book online and check the current rate for your dates.
Drop-off Area (Kiss & Fly)
The drop-off zones let you set down or collect passengers quickly. The first 10 minutes are free (up to twice per calendar day), after which charges apply, and the maximum stay is around three hours. For anything longer, use Terminal or Business Parking.
Parking for Reduced Mobility
Extra-wide spaces for travellers with reduced mobility are provided near the lifts and terminal entrances in the main garages, along with dedicated ladies' parking bays. Blue Badge holders should carry their permit and check Fraport's accessibility information before travelling.
Booking Online & Choosing the Right Car Park
The single best way to save money is to book your space online at the official Fraport site rather than paying at the barrier. Advance rates are significantly lower, your space is guaranteed, and you can add extras such as EV charging or valet service. Compare the total price for your exact dates rather than the daily rate, and factor in the short Sky Line ride if you choose an Economy or Terminal 3 car park.

Independent off-airport operators also run guarded lots a short drive from FRA, usually with a free shuttle to the terminals; they can undercut the official long-stay rates for longer trips, so it is worth comparing.
