Which are the Parking Options at BUD Airport?
Parking your car should not be among your concerns when flying from Budapest Airport. BUD Airport provides its passengers with premium parking services and has adequate parking facilities to fully serve the existing parking needs. Thus, you can benefit from the Premium Parking or head directly to the Terminal Parking, located near the terminal building. Alternatively, long-stay Holiday Parking and Smart Parking are also available for travelers.
Terminal Parking
The Terminal Parking is ideal for passengers who need a short-stay parking option and for pick-ups and drop-offs. The parking is located just outside the T2. It is accessible via a covered passage, 2-3 minutes on foot from the terminal’s entry. With a capacity of 746 parking spots, it is an affordable alternative.
For payments, you can use cards or cash. Parking meters lie at the terminal’s doors, as well as inside the parking lot. Finally, Terminal Parking also has a payment booth (customer service office).
