1. Short-stay parking: This is ideal for quickly dropping off and picking up travellers. Terminals 1 and 2 offer a designated short-stay parking area with license plate recognition. In addition, there are five car parks and ground-level parking spaces for travelling wheelchair users. Unfortunately, there is no guarantee that sufficient short-stay parking spaces will always be available at any given time of day.

Compared to parking at BER, McParking is a cheap and practical solution.

For example, the Park & Ride service at many Berlin regional train stations offers an option for parking your car, sometimes even free of charge. However, the parking spaces are not monitored. If you are travelling with a lot of luggage, you will have to transport it yourself, as a shuttle service is not included in the Park & Ride service.
