Guide to Barcelona Airport Parking T1 and T2
Page Content
Barcelona Airport has three car parks.
Terminal 2 (T2) has 11,900 parking spaces - across one large open-air car park and a smaller covered parking spaces. All of the parking is located opposite the terminal buildings. Long and short stay is located in the same area - however, covered rather than open-air parking is likely to appeal if you plan to leave your car for an extended period of time.
Terminal 1(T1) has its own covered nine-storey car park. It has 12,000 spaces. It sits directly in front of the airport terminal.
There is a further long stay car park that sits between both terminals (2km from each). It requires a free shuttle bus to take you to each terminal, but offers lower prices for long stay parking than the other two car parks (see below for prices).
This page will cover the location of the car parks, instructions for the payment stations and their positions, details of VIP private parking and exact prices.

| Credit Card Payment Station |
There are separate car park payment machines for cash and cash/credit card payments. The machines accepting cash take coins and €5.00, €10.00, €20.00 and €50.00 notes. They will provide change if you do not have the exact amount.
N.B. It is important to remember that if you wish to make a credit card payment of over a certain maximum amount (see below), you will need to go to one of the two airport car park information desks to pay. The car park payment machines for credit cards do not accept payments of over a certain amount. See below, under 'Parking Information at Barcelona Airport' for where these are located.
Once you have made your payment this will be registered on the card that you were issued on arrival at the airport. You will need this card to exit the car park.
Once you have paid and your card is validated as paid you have only twenty minutes to leave the car park. It is worth making an extra effort to note exactly where you left your car when you drop it at the airport. You do not want to find yourself in a situation where you can't remember where you left your vehicle in a large space when you only have twenty minutes to find it!
