Current Nuremberg Airport P3 charges – daily rates and weekly prices
Nuremberg Airport P3 charges vary depending on the season and the duration booked. The following table shows the available rates for the most common parking durations (as per the rates page, accessed on 26 October 2026):
| Parking duration | P3 (euros) | P2 (euros) | Shuttle (euros) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 day | 24.00 | 24.00* (estimated daily rate based on published weekly rates) |
– |
| 7 days | 112–163 | 117–170 | 56 (including free shuttle to the terminal) |
The range in weekly prices is due to seasonal booking periods (22 May–8 November 2026 = peak season, 1 January–21 May 2026 + 9 November–31 December 2026 = low season). For car park P3, the lower weekly rate of 112 euros applies in the off-peak season, whilst the higher rate of 163 euros applies in the peak season.
Tiered pricing and seasonal periods – how the costs are calculated
The airport publishes its rates for P2 and P3 according to entry periods. The off-peak season (1 January–21 May 2026 and 9 November–31 December 2026) offers lower prices; the peak season (22 May–8 November 2026) is more expensive. For parking durations of more than 24 hours, any part of a day exceeding 2 hours is charged as a full day (according to airport-nuernberg.de). This means that a 25-hour parking session already costs a full day’s rate.
Rates for P4 can only be booked online; P30 is mainly reserved for staff, but is opened to passengers during peak periods. Advance online booking is essential.
Discounts, reductions and special rates
Nuremberg Airport P3 charges may be reduced for certain groups. People with disabilities receive a 50 per cent discount upon presentation of a blue parking permit (according to parkinglist.de). There is a free loading and unloading zone directly in front of the terminal; in addition, the PRM service can be requested via a blue call box in front of Terminal 2. Disabled parking spaces are located on Level 0 in P2 and P3.
For long-term parkers (≥5 months), the modern P4 car park offers separate areas; however, these can only be booked subject to availability. Seasonal vehicles, classic cars and second cars can be parked long-term for a fee (according to airport-nuernberg.de).
