Can I park at Gibraltar airport overnight?
Short answer
No. The car park in front of the terminal allows a maximum stay of two hours, between 08:00 and 21:00, and overnight parking is not allowed. For a trip away, take a taxi, get a lift or walk from town.
Detailed answer
The terminal car park
Gibraltar International Airport's car park is directly in front of the terminal and is managed by Gibraltar Car Parks Limited. According to the airport:
- The maximum stay is two hours.
- It is open from 08:00 to 21:00 only.
- Overnight parking is not allowed.
- You pay at the machines in the car park or online.
It suits dropping off or collecting passengers, not leaving a car while you travel.
Getting to the airport instead
- Taxi: fares are regulated, with a £3.00 flag fall, a £2.00 airport surcharge and 50p for each piece of hold luggage, so a ride from town usually costs around £10.
- A lift: drop-offs are quick, as the terminal is minutes from town.
- On foot: the airport is about 20 minutes' walk from Casemates across the runway. The Casemates to airport or frontier FAQ gives the route.
Leaving a car for several days
If you must leave a car, ask Gibraltar Car Parks about longer stays in its public car parks before you travel, and check the signs, as many bays are for residents' permits only.
