| P3 Covered Premium | Car under cover | About 26 EUR a day |
| P4 Long term | A week or more | About 8 EUR a day, 48 EUR a week |

Private lots with a shuttle
Around the airport, private lots, open-air or covered, offer a free shuttle or valet service. A 2026 page quotes one at 6 EUR a day or 35 EUR a week, and another guide gives 8 to 18 EUR a day. Read the terms: shuttle or not, pick-up times, damage cover, late-return charge. Book online in high season.
Is parking worth it?
- Yes, if you leave your car several days while you fly from Porto: a long-stay or private lot saves a lot.
- No, if you only come to see the city: the centre is hard by car and parking is limited (read driving and parking in Porto). The metro (line E, 25-30 min) costs about 2.30 EUR a trip, and a taxi or app about 15 to 30 EUR. Compare with from Porto airport to the centre.
- Private transfer if you arrive late or with luggage and children: the offer below spares you the parking hunt. More in Porto airport transfer: which offer.
If you drive to the airport
Many travellers leave their car at the airport to fly. Count your days: from a week, a long-stay or private lot is far cheaper than P1 to P3. Renting a car only for the Douro is another option; see car rental at Porto airport.
