This is how much a week’s parking costs at Zurich Airport
Anyone planning a trip from Zurich Airport for the upcoming autumn holidays and travelling in their own car is spoilt for choice: which car park suits their budget and personal needs? Should it be the short walk directly from the terminal car park, the convenient valet service where you hand over your car at check-in, or the cheaper outdoor car park in the surrounding area with public transport or shuttle connections? A comparison of one week’s parking reveals significant differences in price and service.
Flughafen-Zuerich.ch
Zurich Airport’s official car park offers various options. For the autumn half-term week from 10 to 17 October 2026, the cheapest option is the ‘Aussenparkplatz 65’ car park at 132 francs. This open-air car park is also suitable for vehicles taller than two metres. A shuttle bus runs every 30 minutes to the airport’s bus station, Kante R. There is also the P60 outdoor car park at Werft. This costs 150 francs and is also connected to the bus network.
It’s more expensive at the P6 terminal, where a covered parking space costs 214 francs. The terminal is a four- to five-minute walk away. The shortest route is via the covered car park in P1, which costs 276 Swiss francs. And in P3, XXL parking spaces are available for 279 Swiss francs, with plenty of space around the car.
Valetparking.ch
Park your car, hand over the keys and, on your return, collect your car, washed and with a full tank of fuel: this is the service promised by Valetparking.ch. On the day of travel, simply follow the ‘Departure’ signs throughout Zurich Airport. Just before Terminal 1, turn right towards ‘Services’ into the valet zone at the terminal, ring the bell at the barrier and park in one of the marked spaces. You should hand in your car keys at the Valetparking counter at Check-in 1. After landing, you collect your car keys from the counter and your car will be waiting for you outside the terminal – cleaned, charged or refuelled – depending on the additional services you’ve requested. For the period from 10 to 17 October, the vehicle drop-off fee is 332 Swiss francs. In addition, the following options are available on request: exterior cleaning (35 Swiss francs), the more comprehensive service including interior cleaning (115 Swiss francs), charging the vehicle (35 Swiss francs) or refuelling (price on request).
Airportparking.ch
In response to our enquiry for the period from 10 to 17 October 2026, Airportparking.ch has two offers: one week’s outdoor parking for 180 Swiss francs or a covered parking space for 204 Swiss francs. Departing passengers must first drive their car to P3 and then continue to the signposted Airportparking spaces on the 5th floor. They then hand in their car keys at the counter directly next to the parking spaces. Upon their return, they collect their car keys from the Airportparking counter. The vehicle will already be waiting in car park P3 in the Airportparking spaces.
Autobahnhof.ch
Sprenger Autobahnhof AG accepts vehicles and keys on level 5 of the airport’s car park 3. Customers can choose between three parking options. An outdoor parking space costs 139 francs from 10 to 17 October. Those wishing to park their car in a multi-storey car park pay 164 francs. The price for a separate garage space is 178 francs. Additional services such as a car wash or a tyre change can be booked for an extra charge.
Parkplatz-am-flughafen.ch
‘Park an Go’ offers parking spaces in quiet residential areas around Zurich Airport, located directly next to bus and tram stops. From 10 to 17 October, air travellers pay 104 Swiss francs for an unguarded outdoor parking space. On top of this are the costs for public transport transfers by tram or bus to the airport and back again after landing. The car parks are in Glattbrugg. From the ‘Glattbrugg, Riethofstrasse’ stop, bus routes 768 and 759 run directly to Zurich Airport. The journey takes around five minutes, and during the day a bus runs every eight minutes.
Speedparking.ch
The provider Speedparking offers secure outdoor or indoor parking spaces in Kloten, Opfikon, Glattbrugg, Dübendorf or Embrach, including a shuttle bus to the terminal. For the test date during the autumn half-term holidays, an outdoor parking space is available for 150 Swiss francs or an underground parking space for 190 Swiss francs.

Top-parking.ch

Conclusion: Book early and weigh up convenience against cost
The price comparison for the autumn half-term week clearly shows that parking at Zurich Airport doesn’t necessarily have to be expensive – provided you’re flexible.
For bargain hunters: the cheapest option in the comparison is Parkplatz-am-flughafen.ch (Park an Go) at 104 francs for a week. However, the short journey by public bus must be factored in and organised by the customer. Among providers offering their own shuttle service or a direct walk to the terminal, Swissairportparking.ch (130 CHF) and the official P65 car park operated by Zurich Airport AG (132 CHF) come out on top in terms of price.
For those seeking convenience: anyone wishing to avoid long walks with luggage should opt for the Zurich Airport AG car parks close to the terminal (P1–P6 from 214 francs) or use valet services such as Airportparking.ch or Autobahnhof.ch (via Level 5 in P3).
For luxury travellers: Those who want to have their car returned fully serviced and well-maintained will find a completely hassle-free, all-inclusive service right at check-in with Valetparking.ch (from 332 CHF plus additional services).
Also important when planning your trip: as the example of Top-parking.ch shows, popular car parks fill up quickly during peak travel periods. It is therefore worth booking your parking as early as possible, at the same time as booking your trip.
