Parking at Roissy-Charles-de-Gaulle (CDG)
Paris Aéroport runs two main families of official car parks at CDG:
Contact car parks (P1, P3, PAB, PCD, PEF, PG) — located at the foot of terminals 1, 2 and 3, for direct, fast access. The most convenient, but the most expensive: perfect for a short round trip.
Economy car parks (PR, PX, PW) — on the periphery of the airport and linked to the terminals free of charge by the automatic CDGVAL shuttle or buses. These are the cheapest official options for long stays.
Booking and up-to-date rates on the official site (see Sources). Parking is allowed for up to 31 consecutive days (up to 45 days via online booking).
Parking at Paris-Orly
At Orly too, the choice is between proximity and price: car parks close to the terminals (fastest access, including those serving Terminal 3) and an Economy car park (P3 Eco / peripheral car parks) linked by shuttle, better value for long stays. Valet options also let you drop your car right in front of the terminal. Online booking is recommended to secure your space and the best price.
Parking at Paris-Beauvais (BVA)
Beauvais is ~85 km from Paris: many travellers leave their car on site for a low-cost flight. The airport has short- and long-stay car parks, with a clear advantage to online booking for multi-day stays. You can also consider the official shuttle to Paris if you'd rather not drive all the way to Beauvais.
Book your parking in advance: the smart move
On the official sites (parisaeroport.fr / extime.com), booking online before you leave guarantees a space and a rate that is usually lower than the walk-up price at the barrier — the gap grows fast over several days. Always check the exact length of your stay: beyond a few days, the Economy car park becomes far better value than Contact.
Long-stay parking or private transfer: the real maths
For a stay of several days, don't look at the sticker price of parking alone. Add up parking + fuel + tolls + wear — plus the stress of leaving your car exposed. A fixed-price round trip with IKIGAÏ DRIVER often works out cheaper and simpler: a driver on time, flight tracking, no space to hunt for.
