What airport parking costs and what affects the price
Five factors set the price: vehicle type, duration, dates, type of space and extra services. See what each one means, from €8 a day down to €3.
Parking near Athens Airport starts at €8 for one day and comes down to €3 a day once your trip runs to two weeks or more. That gap is not arbitrary: five specific things set the price.
If you only want the figure for your own dates, the price list gives it day by day. This page answers something else: why the price comes out the way it does, so you know where you can influence it.
The five factors
- Vehicle type. A passenger car, a motorbike, a motorhome or a boat — each needs a different amount of space.
- Length of stay. The longer it gets, the lower the cost of each day.
- Entry and exit dates. It is not only how many days, but which ones.
- Type of space. Open-air or covered.
- Extra services you choose, such as Valet Parking.
Here they are one at a time.
1. Duration is the main factor
This is where the price moves most. Charging is not “so many euros a day times so many days” — the cost per day falls the longer you stay.
Three reference points for a passenger car:
- 1 day — €8, which is €8 a day
- 7 days — €30, around €4.29 a day
- 14 days — €44, around €3.14 a day
From the 15th day onwards, €2 is added per extra day, so at 16 days the price lands at exactly €3 a day. If your trip is a long one, the figures are worked through in our article on long-term parking.
What this means in practice: if you are coming back late Sunday or early Monday, price both options. One more day does not cost what the first one did.
2. Vehicle type
The price list on our site covers passenger cars. For motorbikes the price is set by arrangement, and for motorhomes and boats it is quoted separately, because the dimensions and the space required differ in every case.
For these categories a phone call is the quickest route: we will give you the price for that specific vehicle and your dates.
3. Open-air or covered
A covered space protects the car from sun, rain and hail, and costs more than an open-air one. As a guide, 10 days in a covered space is €57, against €36 in the open.
Two things worth knowing from the start:
- Covered spaces are limited.
- They are available by advance booking only — they cannot be requested on arrival.
If a covered space matters to you, ask us early.
4. The dates, not just the number of days
The final price can vary with availability during the period you travel. Holidays and busy periods are not the same as an ordinary week in autumn.
This is why the booking form asks for entry and exit dates and times first: the price is calculated for your dates and shown before you complete the booking.
5. Extra services
The base price covers the parking and the free transfer to and from the airport. There is no extra charge for it.
On top of that you can add Valet Parking (€20, service hours 06:00 – 22:00), where our driver collects the car at the departures area.
All available options are described on the services page.
Three typical trips
A weekend abroad — 3 days. Open-air space, no extras: €17, with the free transfer in both directions.
A week-long business trip — 7 days. Open-air space: €30. If the return flight is an early one, Valet Parking (€20) saves you a stop.
Summer holidays — 10 days. Open-air €36, covered €57. In August, with the car standing in the sun for ten days, that €21 difference is the question worth answering before you book.
Where you can influence the price
- Check whether one more day changes the total much. On longer stays an extra day costs €2, not €8.
- Book early if you want a covered space — they are limited.
- Ask for a quote if the period runs past 30 days: dedicated programmes apply and the price is agreed separately. Send us a message from the contact page.
- See the final price before you pay. It appears in the booking form before you confirm.
The prices quoted here are indicative; the final price appears in the booking form before confirmation.
