Frankfurt Airport Secure Car ParkingCountry forums / Western Europe / Germany | ||
Hi all, we are planning to take a flight from Frankfurt to Iceland, however to get to Frankfurt we will have to take the car since the flight departs at 8:00 AM. I look on the website of the airport and could only find parking at the airport itself for a normal fee (http://www.airportcity-frankfurt.com) , about 80€ for 2 weeks : holiday parking OR at Terminal 1 for 120€ . But is the parking a secure parking ? I could no where find that the car parking is being monitored and is a real car depot. Does anyone has any experience with the holiday parking at this airport? I hate to come back and not find my car anymore ;) | ||
Park & Fly Never heard of problems with car theft there. Not so easy without your parking ticket to leave. And there are cameras at various places. Or use a service like | 1 | |
Hi, We come from Antwerp (belgium) so im afraid we wont be able to use the shuttle service ;) www.acs-airport.de , is rather expensive : 300€ for 2 weeks . Im used to 100€ for a controlled parking. Do you have any idea if the holiday parking is decent? because there isnt much information on the site about the parking system : http://www.airportcity-frankfurt.com/cms/default/rubrik/15/15329.holiday_parking.htm | 2 | |
Just to make sure: You're indeed travelling from Frankfurt International (FRA)+ , yes? As there are flights from not-really-nearby +Frankfurt Hahn (HHN) to Reykjavik as well, which would be a completely different matter. Alternatively, as you've likely figured out yourself, you could take an earlier train and spend the night before your departure in Frankfurt (or Mainz etc.). There's a variety of offers to choose from (e.g. the Europe Spar 50+ by SNCB, the +Rail & Fly+ (only inside Germany) or a combination of +Thalys-deals+ and the German +Dauerspezial+ ). Costs would add up to roughly 200 Euro for a return trip for the two (?) of you hotel, no idea how this fits your plans, just an idea... | 3 | |
From a quick glance at google-earth (not first-hand experience!) I'd say that the 'holiday parking' consists of an odd number of open-air parking lots inside the disused American Air Base. I guess there'll be a some fences and barriers, cameras and patrols. Would be fine with me, yet I'm not a car addict ;-) | 4 | |
Yes the airport is : Frankfurt International, terminal 2 Yea i have checked it out to take an early train, but we are with 5 persons and a additional hotel night would go over our budget ;) We really wanted to take the train tho, rather that than driving. yea lol didnt think about looking it up like that, i see what you mean its like parking lots spread out over different grounds (right below the name Cargo City Süd right?) its freaky how close you can watch. | 5 | |
I maked good experience with http://www.travel-parking.de in Frankfurt, this parking is secured and 24 hours staffed. I booked for my last trip the option Valet-Parking, very nice. | 6 | |
