A 6:00 departure, a suitcase packed for two weeks, and a decision most people make the day before. Leave the car at the airport for the whole week, or not drive there at all? Prague Airport’s price list will not give you that answer.
The reason is simple. Of the nine parking products, only two have a published fixed price list. For the rest, the price is calculated dynamically in the booking system, so it changes depending on when you book.
One thing up front: we have not parked at the airport ourselves – not at any of the private car parks or P+R sites we compare below either. Every figure below comes from price lists, operating rules and the booking system, read at source with a date against each one. We compared prices across all nine airport car parks and ran the booking system for three different dates. Every figure in the article carries its own basis – either the barrier price with no booking, or the booking system’s offer as of 7 September 2026 with the stated lead time. Where the operator does not publish a price, we say so plainly. We do not take prices from comparison sites like Parkos at all: they are set by someone other than whoever actually runs the car park.
The airport runs its car parks under the AeroParking brand. There are nine long-stay products, and they differ in the four things that will decide it for you: location, walking time, whether they are covered, and the maximum vehicle height.
| Car park | Location | Walk to check-in | Cover | Max. height |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| PC COMFORT | multi-storey car park right by Terminal 1, with a covered walkway to Terminal 2 | 2-6 min (T1: 2 min / T2: 6 min) | covered | 220 cm |
| PC PREMIUM | garage by Terminal 1, covered walkway to Terminal 2, XXL spaces | 2-6 min (T1: 2 min / T2: 6 min) | covered | 220 cm |
| PA SMART | multi-storey car park right by Terminal 2 | 3-7 min (T1: 7 min / T2: 3 min) | covered except the roof level | 180 cm |
| PB ECONOMY | outdoor car park right in front of Terminal 2 | 2-6 min (T1: 6 min / T2: 2 min) | outdoor | 400 cm |
| PD HOLIDAY | multi-storey car park within walking distance of both terminals | 9-12 min (T1: 9 min / T2: 12 min) | covered except the roof level | 210 cm |
| FLEXI PARKING | an area on the POP Airport site, i.e. off the airport grounds | 5 min by shuttle van + 2-6 min from the stop | outdoor or covered, depending on availability | 400 cm |
| PC COMFORT VALET | you hand over your car at the entrance to PC COMFORT | 2-6 min | covered | 220 cm |
| PC PREMIUM VALET | you hand over your car at the MEETING POINT: P1 EXPRESS at T1 or P2 EXPRESS at T2 | 1 min (both T1 and T2) | covered, XXL spaces | 220 cm |
| Terminal 3 | outdoor car park in front of Terminal 3 | not stated by the operator | outdoor | not stated by the operator |
The walking times in the table are the ranges given in the car parks’ own descriptions. The booking system only shows the walk to the nearer terminal – the more flattering figure. If you are flying from the other one, add three to four minutes with your suitcase.
The height limits vary far more than you would expect. The gap between 180 cm at PA SMART and 400 cm at PB ECONOMY is a whole car’s worth, and it decides the matter for anyone with a roof box or a van. You will not get into PA SMART with a roof box; PD HOLIDAY allows 210 cm and the PC garages 220 cm.
FLEXI PARKING is not a car park you can walk from. Your car sits on the POP Airport site, and an air-conditioned shuttle van runs to the terminal; the ride takes 5 minutes and runs to a timetable, not on request. The booking has to be made at least 2 hours ahead, and the minimum parking period is 48 hours.
Terminal 3 is a special case. The airport describes it as intended for private flights and foreign delegations, and that is exactly why you should not treat its cheap price list as a loophole. Whether a passenger on a regular flight from T1 or T2 is even allowed to park there is something the operator states nowhere, and we have not been able to verify it.
This is the single most important thing in the whole article. The airport publishes a fixed long-stay price list only for PC COMFORT and Terminal 3. Every other long-stay product can only be bought through an online booking, at a dynamic price.
The operator says as much itself: the price when you make an online booking is affected by many factors and changes over time, and you only find out what it is at the moment you book. In practice that means one thing. Nobody can state a price for PA SMART, PB ECONOMY, PD HOLIDAY, PC PREMIUM, FLEXI, or either of the two valet services, without also saying when, and how far ahead, they got that price.
The published tables look like this. These are barrier prices – for arriving with no prior online booking, paying at the machine on site.
| Length of stay | PC COMFORT, no booking | Terminal 3, no booking |
|---|---|---|
| 1 day | 1,400 CZK (about €58) | 1,000 CZK (about €41) |
| 2 days | 1,800 CZK (about €74) | 1,400 CZK (about €58) |
| 3 days | 2,200 CZK (about €91) | 1,700 CZK (about €70) |
| 4 days | 2,600 CZK (about €110) | 1,900 CZK (about €79) |
| 5 days | 2,900 CZK (about €120) | 2,100 CZK (about €87) |
| 6 days | 3,100 CZK (about €130) | 2,300 CZK (about €95) |
| 7 days | 3,400 CZK (about €140) | 2,500 CZK (about €100) |
| 8 days | 3,700 CZK (about €150) | 2,700 CZK (about €110) |
| each additional day | + 300 CZK (about €12) | + 200 CZK (about €8.3) |
Past the eighth day there is no more weekly or fortnightly rate. The table simply carries on at 300 CZK a day. Fourteen days at PC COMFORT with no booking therefore works out, by the price list, at 3,700 + 6 × 300 = 5,500 CZK (about €230), and that is our own calculation from the operator’s rule, not a figure the airport publishes anywhere. Our sample trip, arriving at 8:00 and leaving at 20:00, is billed as fifteen started days, though, so in the comparison table you will find 3,700 + 7 × 300 = 5,800 CZK (about €240).
Short stays are billed hourly at both, again with no option to book. PC COMFORT: 80 CZK (about €3.3) per hour for the 1st to the 17th hour, and from the start of the 18th hour you pay the daily rate. The operator gives its own example: for 15 hours you pay 1,200 CZK (about €50).
Terminal 3: 80 CZK per hour for the 1st to the 12th hour, and from the start of the 13th hour the daily rate applies. The operator’s own example: 8 hours costs 640 CZK (about €26). How much time you have to leave after paying depends on the car park, and the operator contradicts itself on the multi-storey car park. The price list gives 12 minutes for the express areas and 20 minutes for PC COMFORT, while the FAQ gives 12 minutes for everything, including PC COMFORT and Terminal 3. On the express areas both figures agree at twelve; for the multi-storey car park, plan on the lower number and do not leave your exit to the last minute.
Tip: the hourly rate only makes sense for roughly half a day. At PC COMFORT, 17 hours at 80 CZK each come to 1,360 CZK (about €56) altogether – just 40 CZK (about €1.7) less than a full day at 1,400 CZK.
The airport’s parking page carries the promise “Discount of up to 50%* on online booking”, with an asterisk pointing to the terms. In the price list itself, the word “discount” does not appear once. We ran the airport’s booking system for three different dates to see what that discount actually looks like in numbers.
Long-stay car park prices are dynamic. They change depending on how far ahead you book, so any figure only makes sense together with the lead time it was quoted with.
And with a short lead time, the discount works against you. PC COMFORT for 7 days, booked 2 days ahead, was priced by the system at 4,240 CZK (about €180). The same car park’s published price list with no booking, meanwhile, gives 3,400 CZK (about €140).
Booking online, then, worked out 840 CZK (about €35) more expensive than simply pulling up to the barrier and paying at the machine. Both figures are Prague Airport’s own, and we read them on the same day, 7 September 2026.
| Car park | 2 days ahead | 4 weeks ahead | 4 months ahead | No booking (barrier price list) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| PD HOLIDAY | 2,810 CZK (about €120) | 1,730 CZK (about €72) | 990 CZK (about €41) | online only |
| PA SMART | 3,040 CZK (about €130) | 1,900 CZK (about €79) | 1,190 CZK (about €49) | online only |
| PB ECONOMY | 3,640 CZK (about €150) | 3,640 CZK (about €150) | not offered | online only |
| PC COMFORT | 4,240 CZK (about €180) | 2,380 CZK (about €98) | 1,390 CZK (about €57) | 3,400 CZK (about €140) |
| PC COMFORT VALET | 4,440 CZK (about €180) | 2,580 CZK (about €110) | 1,590 CZK (about €66) | online only |
| PC PREMIUM | 4,730 CZK (about €200) | 5,570 CZK (about €230) | 3,190 CZK (about €130) | online only |
| PC PREMIUM VALET | 5,130 CZK (about €210) | 5,970 CZK (about €250) | 3,590 CZK (about €150) | online only |
| FLEXI PARKING | not offered | 1,640 CZK (about €68) | 790 CZK (about €33) | online only |
The operator half admits this. In its FAQ it says the size of the discount depends on how far ahead you make the booking.
What it never states anywhere is the important part: that curve can overtake the barrier price list. At PC COMFORT, with a two-day lead time, it overtook it by that 840 CZK.
The second finding from the same table is almost as useful. The cheaper car park is not always the same car park.
For 7 days with a four-week lead time, the outdoor PB ECONOMY cost 3,640 CZK (about €150). The covered PC COMFORT, in the same query, cost 2,380 CZK (about €98). A difference of 1,260 CZK (about €52) – in favour of the covered multi-storey car park at Terminal 1.
The rule of thumb “outdoor is cheaper” simply does not hold here. Anyone who decides on that basis without clicking through both options pays 1,260 CZK for the assumption.
The third bullet point is a trap that is easy to miss. Free cancellation sounds like a risk-free booking, but changing the date is not free.
If your departure shifts by two days, you pay whatever price applies on the day you book again. And with a shorter lead time that price is higher – for seven days at PD HOLIDAY, for example, by 1,820 CZK (about €75) between the four-month and the two-day horizon.
Tip: cancellation may be free, but a new booking is made at the current price, so waiting until you are sure of your return date is not free. For PD HOLIDAY, the difference between booking four months and two days ahead is 1,820 CZK. If you are not sure of your return date, it works out cheaper to book early and cancel if you need to than to book at the last minute.
Private car parks are dotted around the airport, in Buštěhrad, Horoměřice, on Drnovská and in Tuchoměřice. You leave your car there and the operator’s van takes you to the terminal.
We compared the price lists of three operators directly on their own websites. This isn’t a complete list of the car parks around the airport, just the ones where we could find pricing at the source.
The “Price list and services” page doesn’t actually contain a parking price list; it only covers luggage wrapping and interior cleaning. The daily rate only appears in the booking form once you enter your dates. The rates below come from the data that form loads, read on 19 September 2026.
Of all the private car parks we checked, this one publishes the fullest price list. It’s run by sole trader Matyáš Mašín, company ID (IČO) 01379178, phone line open around the clock.
The arrival date decides, not the return date. The rate for seven billed days is 1,300 CZK if you arrive in October, and 800 CZK if you arrive on 1 November. A difference of 500 CZK (about €21) over a single calendar day. Bear in mind that the days are counted inclusive of both the arrival and departure day, so a seven-day trip usually comes to eight billed days.
According to its own website it’s a contracted partner of AVIA Parking, 2 km from the airport, with transport to the terminal and back free of charge, operating 24/7. You can pay by card, luggage wrapping costs 120 CZK (about €5.0), and child seats and jump leads are available.
The live site doesn’t give an address, GPS coordinates or a phone number, and the only contact on it is an email address; where the car park actually is can only be worked out from the directions to Tuchoměřice. The same operator, though, also runs a second website, parkovani-u-letiste-ruzyne.cz, with the same contact email, and there a phone number is given: 774 400 426, helpline 9:00 to 19:00. On Google there’s yet another number, so check which one actually picks up.
The second website also says what the first one doesn’t. “The exact address of the car park will be sent once the booking is confirmed” and “depending on capacity the vehicle may be placed at an alternative car park near the airport”. So before you book, you don’t know where your car will actually be standing. On top of that, the contact details give the address Aviatická 1092/8, which is the Courtyard hotel building by the terminals, and right next to it the coordinates 50.1563577, 14.1739813, which land in Buštěhrad at Třinecká 679, that is, at AVIA Parking’s address. For a declared contracted partner of AVIA that makes sense, even though the contact address doesn’t match it. Two places ten kilometres apart, and neither of them is Tuchoměřice, which is where the directions on the first website send you.
Fajn Parking’s price list appears on the page eight times, the tables are tied to months, and four pairs of months share one table: January with December, February with March, August with September, and October with November. Seven of them are hidden, and JavaScript displays whichever one belongs to the selected month. We’re not claiming this is deliberate, we’re describing how the page works.
In the page’s source code, the table left visible is the one for January and December. That isn’t the cheapest price list of the year, though: the February and March table is cheaper from five days onward, and by 700 CZK at thirty days.
The difference is significant. Seven days costs 750 CZK (about €31) according to the January table, and 1,100 CZK according to the September one. Anyone quoting this page in September without running JavaScript, and that includes search engines, aggregators and chat tools, copies a price roughly a third lower than what actually applies.
So here are the figures that, according to the price list as read on 7 September 2026, apply in August and September: 7 days 1,100 CZK, 13–14 days 1,600 CZK (about €66), 30 days 2,500 CZK (about €100), and beyond the end of the table, +200 CZK for each further day started.
In October and November the price list is different again and considerably lower: 7–8 days 800 CZK, 13–14 days 1,000 CZK (about €41), 29–30 days 1,200 CZK (about €50), each further day +100 CZK. Fajn Parking doesn’t state whether it counts both calendar days in its day count, so allow for a possible one-day discrepancy in its figures.
And one more thing you’d expect to find elsewhere. What you sign at Fajn Parking isn’t a parking contract. The operator publishes the document itself, and it’s a sublease agreement for part of a plot measuring 20 m², signed on the spot. According to it, the landlord is AVIATA GROUP s.r.o., company ID (IČO) 08610398, registered in Roztoky, and the plot lies in the Kněžívka cadastral area within the municipality of Tuchoměřice.
In the version we downloaded from the operator’s website on 19 September 2026, we found no mention of vehicle insurance or any obligation to keep the car under watch. The wording can change at any time, though, so read whatever they give you to sign on the spot, and ask in advance about anything you come across.
We worked this out for a single trip, so the figures can be compared fairly. Arrival on 5 October 2026 at 8:00, departure at 20:00 depending on the length of stay.
The airport prices are from the airport’s own booking system, queried on 7 September 2026 four weeks ahead. The exception is the PC COMFORT column, which shows the published price list without a booking. The private car parks are on their autumn band, or their September–October band respectively.
| Trip length | PD HOLIDAY (online, 4 weeks ahead) | FLEXI (online, 4 weeks ahead) | PC COMFORT (without a booking) | AVIA (autumn) | Horoměřice / Drnovská (Sep–Oct) | Fajn Parking (Oct+Nov) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 night | 840 CZK (about €35) | not offered | 1,800 CZK (about €74; 2 days) | 600 CZK (about €25; 2 billed days) | 800 CZK (about €33; 2 days) | 600 CZK (about €25) |
| 3 days | 1,060 CZK (about €44) | 960 CZK (about €40) | 2,600 CZK (about €110; 4 days) | 800 CZK (about €33; 4 billed days) | 1,000 CZK (about €41; 4 days) | 700 CZK (about €29) |
| 7 days | 1,730 CZK (about €72) | 1,640 CZK (about €68) | 3,700 CZK (about €150; 8 days) | 1,100 CZK (about €45; 8 billed days) | 1,400 CZK (about €58; 8 days) | 800 CZK (about €33) |
| 14 days | 5,880 CZK (about €240) | 3,520 CZK (about €150) | 5,800 CZK (about €240; 15 days)* | 1,400 CZK (about €58; 15 billed days) | 1,900 CZK (about €79; 15 days) | 1,000 CZK (about €41) |
There’s also a third option you won’t find on any price list. Spend the night close to the airport and leave your car parked at the hotel. For a 6:00 departure this solves two problems at once, and for longer trips it stacks up against the private car parks.
The map is centred on the airport, and both terminals sit right above its middle. You’ll see what a night costs just a few minutes from check-in; compare that price with the parking fees in the table above, because for a 6:00 departure it’s exactly that difference that decides things.
The tipping point isn’t the number of days. It’s the number of days multiplied by how far ahead you book, which is why you can’t pull a single winner out of that table.
So the honest answer sounds like a rule, not the name of a car park. Up to three days, the airport; beyond five days, a private car park with a shuttle, and the later you book, the sooner that tipping point arrives.
Booked far enough ahead, the airport car park beats nearly all the private ones we priced. Booked two days ahead, it loses to all of them, and with PC COMFORT it even loses to its own price list at the barrier.
Against public transport, airport parking doesn’t hold up for any length of stay, and there’s no point hiding that in an article about parking. If you’re not driving, you’re in the city centre in roughly 35 minutes on trolleybus 59 and metro line A, and with luggage it’ll cost you 69 CZK (about €2.9).
We’ve covered the whole journey from the airport into the city (lines, tickets, Airport Express, Uber and what to do if you land late) separately in our article From Prague Airport to the City Centre.
The airport lists two free car parks. Both are next to shopping centres, and both are meant for picking someone up, not for leaving your car there and flying off.
A car left overnight at POP Airport falls outside the free window, and the operator does not list a night rate on this page. In the same complex, though, AeroParking sells the paid FLEXI service, which is the sanctioned way to leave a car there longer.
P+R car park prices are no longer part of the PID fare; TSK manages them. The city publishes the binding list at parking.praha.eu. According to it, three things apply: selected locations are free for 12 hours, a full day’s parking costs 50 CZK (about €2.1) or 100 CZK (about €4.1) depending on the location, you pay at the machine on site, and spaces cannot be reserved in advance.
The rate differs from car park to car park and cannot be generalised. Three of them cost 100 CZK for the first 24 hours: Holešovice, Skalka 1 and Ládví. Most of the rest are 50 CZK, and eight locations are free. We cover how P+R car parks fit into parking across Prague, including the central garages, in our guide to parking in Prague.
This is the most common mistake, and the name Park+Ride is to blame. A parking ticket from a P+R does not include any fare. We did not find a single TSK or PID page claiming otherwise.
The city describes the payment purely as a parking fee, and PID talks about car parks run in connection with subsequent use of PID. In connection with, not including. So you pay for parking, and on top of that you buy a ticket.
One published exception exists, and it lies outside Prague. In Olbramovice, holders of a zone 7 season pass valid for at least a month through the PID Lítačka app get 24 hours of free parking.
There is no P+R at the airport, and none right next to it either. The practical pair is Zličín 1 (88 spaces) and Zličín 2 (66 spaces), for a single reason: bus 100 runs from Zličín to the airport directly, about 18 minutes.
Both Zličín car parks have the same tariff: 50 CZK for the first 24 hours, each additional hour started 10 CZK (about €0.4). Their pages state unlimited parking time and a camera system; you cannot reserve a space.
We calculated longer stays from that rule ourselves, because no P+R page publishes a multi-day total. 48 hours works out at 290 CZK (about €12), seven days at 1,490 CZK (about €62) and fourteen days at 3,170 CZK (about €130), and add the cost of tickets on top.
That leads to an uncomfortable conclusion. P+R is not a cheap long-stay car park, because seven days at 1,490 CZK is almost double the cheapest private car park in our comparison. It makes sense for one night, not for a holiday.
Second in line are Nové Butovice and Kotlářka. Neither has a direct connection to the airport, though, and from both you have to change via the metro. We would not recommend either as an airport option without this note.
We do not list any free legal street parking near the airport in this article, because we were unable to verify it. The reason is administrative. The airport lies partly in Prague 6 and partly already beyond the city boundary.
Tuchoměřice, Horoměřice and Kněžívka all fall under the Prague-West district. The municipalities set their own rules there, and they are not on Prague’s zone map. Advice such as “leave your car in a side street in Kněžívka” is therefore a tip with no source, wherever you read it.
This list is built from the price list, the operating rules and the operator’s own FAQ. Several items contradict each other on its own pages. Where that happens, we give both figures and say which document is binding.
Tip: before a longer trip, walk around your car in the car park and photograph it from every side. The camera footage gets wiped after two weeks; your photos don’t.
A summary by trip length, nothing new. All the online figures come from the airport’s booking system, queried four weeks ahead, prices as of 7 September 2026. What we said at the start still applies: this is a recommendation based on price lists and the booking system, not on our own parking experience.
And one piece of advice across the board: book as early as possible, or not at all. The same seven days at PD HOLIDAY cost 990 CZK (about €41) booked four months ahead, 1,730 CZK four weeks ahead, and 2,810 CZK (about €120) two days ahead. A last-minute booking is the most expensive thing you can do.
Among the car parks we compared, private car parks with a shuttle service came out cheapest, roughly 800 to 1,400 CZK (about €33–58) a week according to price lists as of 7 September 2026. That lower bound applies to one operator’s October and November price list; in September, the same week costs 1,100 CZK (about €45) with them, and they do not state how they count days. The airport’s own car parks cost 1,730 CZK (about €72) online, booked four weeks ahead, for the same dates, and 3,400 CZK (about €140) by the price list with no reservation. But the cheapest option by far is to leave the car at home: two people travelling there and back on public transport pay 276 CZK (about €11), including oversized luggage.
No. The discount depends on how far ahead you book, and at short notice it turns into the opposite. For PC COMFORT, the booking system offered us 7 days two days ahead for 4,240 CZK (about €180), while the published price list with no reservation gives 3,400 CZK (about €140) for the same period. Both figures are the airport’s own, and we read both on 7 September 2026.
No. A parking ticket from a P+R does not include any fare, even though the name Park+Ride suggests otherwise. We did not find a single TSK or PID page claiming anything different. So you pay a parking fee, typically 50 CZK (about €2.1) or 100 CZK (about €4.1) for the first 24 hours depending on the location, and buy a ticket on top of that.
A short delay costs you nothing. The operator gives you 2 to 3 hours free after your reserved departure and 2 hours free before your reserved arrival. A longer overrun is charged, according to the price list, at 300 CZK (about €12) for the first 24 hours started and then 500 CZK (about €21) for each further 24 hours started; at PC PREMIUM and PC PREMIUM VALET, 500 CZK (about €21) and then 700 CZK (about €29). A reservation cannot be amended, only cancelled and bought again at the current price.
Don’t. The express areas are for dropping off and picking up: ten minutes free once every 24 hours, a minimum of 100 CZK (about €4.1) per 15 minutes on a repeat entry, and 5,650 CZK (about €230) for a full day’s stay. The operator also contradicts itself on this point. The price list gives a maximum stay of 7 days; the binding operating rules give 48 hours from entry, and it is the second document that authorises towing.
Trolleybus line 59 runs to Nádraží Veleslavín, changing to metro line A, and bus 100 runs to Zličín, changing to metro line B. Line 119 no longer exists. Airport Express runs to the main railway station, costs 200 CZK (about €8.3), ordinary PID tickets are not valid on it, and it only stops at Terminal 1. At night, lines 907 and 910 run from both terminals. For the ordinary lines you need a ninety-minute ticket, 46 CZK (about €1.9) in the app or 50 CZK (about €2.1) on paper, and 23 CZK (about €0.95) for oversized luggage in the app or 25 CZK (about €1.03) on paper.
Only short-term, when you are picking someone up. At OC Šestka the first 3 hours are free and each additional hour started costs 50 CZK (about €2.1); at POP Airport it is free during the centre’s opening hours, from 10:00 to 20:00. Do not use either for a holiday. We were unable to verify free street parking near the airport, so we do not name any specific spot.
Nobody publishes the price. The official service is Uber Airport, which charges dynamically and only shows the amount in the app, and the airport does not state any fare for it. Work it out simply: a return trip costs twice as much as one ride, and parking is only worth it if it comes out cheaper. On top of that, you cannot use the service at all without a pre-booked ride with a six-digit PIN.
