At the airport itself, the P2 and P3 multi-storey car parks are the cheapest official option at 3.00 euros per hour.

With the shuttle service you book a parking space near the airport including the transfer to the airport terminal. You drive to the car park stated — many operators are about 5 to 15 minutes from Cologne/Bonn Airport — and are taken to the terminal by shuttle bus together with your luggage within a few minutes. On your return journey you are picked up from the airport again and brought back to your car. The price includes the parking space and the transfer to the airport (both ways).

With the valet service at Cologne/Bonn Airport, your car is handed over directly at the airport terminal. You receive a telephone number with your booking confirmation and call the parking operator’s attendant about 30 minutes before arriving at the terminal to agree an exact meeting point. After the handover, your vehicle is parked for you in the car park or multi-storey car park stated. On your return journey the car is brought back to the airport and you can drive home straight away. Some operators have drop-off points in the immediate vicinity of the airport, for example on Kennedystraße.

Directly at Cologne/Bonn Airport you can park in the P1 multi-storey car park, only about 50 metres from Terminal 1 (4.50 euros per hour, maximum entry height 1.95 m). The P2 multi-storey car park is about 50 metres from Terminal 2, and the P3 multi-storey car park about a 7-minute walk away (3.00 euros per hour each, maximum entry height 1.95 m). Car park P Nord, about a 3-minute walk from Terminal 2 and with no height restriction, is particularly suitable for brief stops and larger vehicles; there 10 minutes cost 1.50 euros.

These are suitable for people dropping off or picking up passengers who only need to let them in or out briefly. For longer waits, for example in the event of delays, using the short-stay car parks in the immediate vicinity of the terminal is recommended — for example car park P Nord, only about a 3-minute walk from Terminal 2, where 10 minutes of parking cost 1.50 euros.

The shuttle buses run at regular intervals and take you directly to the terminals within a few minutes. These car parks are particularly suitable for holiday travellers who are away for longer. External operators in the surrounding districts of Grengel and Urbach or in Troisdorf, who also offer a transfer to the terminal, are often cheaper still.

The earlier, the cheaper: the lowest-priced allocations are often sold out weeks in advance during the holiday season. It is best to book as soon as your travel dates are fixed — with free cancellation up to 24 hours before arrival (with most operators) there is no risk.
