P12 vs P1 and P2: the real cost of parking at Brussels Airport

Park. Shuttle. Fly.
If you are flying out of Brussels Airport, the airport's own P1 and P2 car parks look like the simple answer. They sit right by the terminal, so you park and walk in. Simple, yes. Cheap, no. Here is a fair look at how they compare with P12, our independent off-airport parking about 10 minutes away by free shuttle.

First, one thing to be clear about: P12 is a private, independent business. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by Brussels Airport Company or Interparking. We simply park cars nearby and shuttle you to the terminal.

The price gap
This is where the difference is hard to ignore.

• P1 and P2 typically run 150 to 350 euro for a week, depending on the season and how far ahead you book. A typical week lands around 245 euro.
• P12 starts at 40 euro a week for Standard with the current offer: 50 percent off the parking base, applied automatically for a limited time.

Over a one week trip, that is often more than 150 euro back in your pocket. Over a two week holiday, the gap only grows.

What you actually get
Price is not the whole story, so here is the honest trade.

P1 and P2
- Directly at the terminal, a short walk to check-in.
- No shuttle to wait for.
- Premium price, every single time.

P12
- A free shuttle to the terminal, about a 10 minute ride.
- No timetable to catch: it runs non-stop, 24 hours a day, with a dispatcher on site and about 5 minutes of waiting.
- A fenced site with more than 300 places, cameras around the clock and a real team on the ground day and night.
- Three ways to park, so you pick what fits.

Three ways to park with us
- Standard: you hand us your keys and we park your car for you. We organise cars by departure day to use the space well and keep the site secure. Free shuttle both ways, from 40 euro a week.
- First Class: a dedicated, secured spot where you park yourself and keep your own keys. Free shuttle included, from 90 euro a week.
- Service Voiturier: we meet you at the terminal, so no shuttle at all. Book at least 24 hours ahead, from 100 euro a week.

So which should you pick?
If your only priority is zero minutes of shuttle time and money is no object, the terminal car parks win. For almost everyone else, the maths favours P12: you trade a 10 minute shuttle ride for a meaningfully lower bill and a team that treats your car like its own.

Booking takes a few minutes online, cancellation is free up to 4 hours before drop-off, and we are open 24 hours a day. Park. Shuttle. Fly.
