The saying “The car is the German’s favorite child” is still true today and many people maintain an intensive relationship with their car. While the vehicle is parked safely in the carport or garage at home, when planning your annual vacation, the question arises as to where the beloved car can be stored safely and cheaply for the vacation period after arriving at the airport. We present various parking services using Düsseldorf Airport as an example

Where is the best place to park at Düsseldorf Airport?
If you are planning a flight, you would like to travel comfortably in your own car with your luggage in order to be as independent as possible. But traveling with your own vehicle also presents travelers with challenges: the annoying search for a parking space, for example at Düsseldorf Airport, causes (unnecessary) stress. In addition, many people don’t know what parking options are available there and, above all, how safe these parking spaces actually are. When you’re on vacation, you certainly don’t want to constantly think about whether your car could be damaged in the parking lot.
Which valet services are available?
There are several options to park your vehicle safely, especially at Düsseldorf Airport. However, the parking spaces directly on the airport premises are comparatively expensive. The advantage of the three parking garages is that there are also charging stations for electric cars.
As at many airports, particularly cheap parking spaces can also be found near the airport. The parking providers are independent service providers and offer a shuttle service for long-term parkers: A shuttle bus takes all passengers from the parking lot to Düsseldorf Airport free of charge. Of course, this also applies when you arrive: the bus is usually already available and takes the travelers and their luggage to their cars. An advantage of these external parking spaces is of course that you avoid crowded streets around the airport area and therefore feel less stress at the start of your vacation.
When are you considered a long-term parker?
Anyone who wants to park their car for longer than seven days benefits from a financial advantage. Because long-term parking is usually cheaper than short-term parking. There are two options for long-term parking at Düsseldorf Airport: the shuttle service and the valet parking service.
What is a valet parking service?
A very special parking service is available to travelers who use the Valet Parking Service: When you arrive at the airport in Düsseldorf, a chauffeur will be waiting to park the car safely in a reserved and guarded parking space.
You have the option to choose between a covered or uncovered parking space. Of course, such an exclusive service is more expensive than other parking services. But it is undisputed that such an individual service is generally particularly convenient when it comes to airport parking.
Is there free parking at the airport?
Of course there are free parking spaces in the districts around airports. But the real question is actually: Do I really want to park my car in one spot on a public street for that long during my vacation, which usually lasts one or up to three weeks? A disadvantage that should not be underestimated is that, like any other public parking lot, the car is not guarded. Your vacation will certainly not be as relaxing if you have to worry about whether the car will still be there the way you left it when you return – or whether it will even still be there (if it was stolen or towed). Of course, parking your car shouldn’t be a problem so that your return home after a relaxing holiday is not spoiled.
These days there’s an app for practically everything. And when it comes to parking options, an app is definitely a help: With a comparison and brokerage platform, the parking space booking can be checked in detail in advance and you can also book directly online. In this way, the prices of parking providers can be compared at a glance and the best price-performance ratio can be found. Customer reviews also provide an overview of previous experiences with parking providers.
Conclusion
Traveling with your own car is relaxed and cost-effective if you use a comparison and brokerage platform for research and booking. Here you can compare parking service prices, for example at Düsseldorf Airport and the surrounding area. If you want to save money, park your car outside the airport in a guarded parking lot that can be reserved in advance using an app and use the shuttle service to the airport.
