Málaga–Costa del Sol Airport offers a wide range of parking options designed to suit all types of travellers, from quick drop-offs to long-term holiday parking and premium valet services. All official car parks are located within or near the terminal area, making access easy and convenient.
Whether you are staying for a few minutes or several days, choosing the right parking option can save you both time and money.
Booking parking online in advance can often provide significant discounts, especially during peak travel seasons.
Overview of Parking Options
For stays longer than 3–4 days, Long-Term Parking (P3) is usually the most economical option.
General Parking (P1)
The P1 General Parking is the most convenient option for short and medium stays. It is located just a 2–3 minute walk from the terminal, making it ideal for picking up passengers or short trips.
If you plan to stay more than one day, compare prices with P3 — it may be cheaper.
Long-Term Parking (P3)
The P3 Long-Term Parking is designed for travellers leaving their car for several days. It is located about 5 minutes from the terminal, with a free 24/7 shuttle bus connecting the parking area and the terminal.
- Open-air parking with some covered spaces
- Ideal for holidays and long trips
- Regular shuttle service included
Take note of your parking location — P3 is larger and can be confusing when returning.
Arrivals Parking (First Class Parking)
This is the closest parking to the terminal, making it the best option for quick passenger pick-ups. However, it is also one of the most expensive options.
Use this parking only for very short stays — costs increase quickly after the first hour.
Express Parking
The Express Parking offers the quickest access to the terminal and is perfect for drop-offs.
- Located directly at terminal entrance
- First 10–15 minutes free
- Ideal for fast stops
Stay within the free time limit to avoid unnecessary charges.
VIP Parking (Valet Service)
The VIP Parking provides a premium valet service where staff collect and return your vehicle directly at the terminal.
- Vehicle drop-off at terminal entrance
- Booking required (at least 3 hours in advance)
- Ideal for business travellers or convenience
Other Parking Areas
