If you drive to BER in your own car, booking a parking space is only half the job. The right terminal matters just as much. A parking space can be cheap and still impractical if the walk to the departures area is too long or your vehicle doesn't fit in the car park you've chosen.
Check the terminal first, then choose your parking
BER uses Terminal 1 and Terminal 2. Before booking parking, always check your flight details to see which terminal you're departing from.
After that, you can decide between a car park near the terminal, an open-air lot with a short walk, the short-term parking area for drop-offs and pick-ups, or a more distant car park with a longer walk. With an early departure, lots of luggage or small children, a short walk matters more than a small difference in price.
Car park or open-air lot?
A car park protects your vehicle from the weather and usually offers a direct, well-signposted route to the terminal. Before booking, you need to check the maximum permitted entry height.
An open-air lot is particularly suitable for taller vehicles or travellers who don't need a weather-protected space. Here too, the walking distance, luggage and time of day all matter.
Mind your vehicle's height and size
A roof box, bike rack or tall van can rule out access to a car park. Before reserving, check your vehicle's height including roof attachments, its weight, and its length if you have a trailer or a special vehicle.
Anyone who only sorts these points out at the barrier loses time and may need an alternative area.
Reserve online instead of searching on the spot
Reserving before you set off gives you certainty about your space, access and conditions. Check the booking confirmation for the parking area, entrance, time period and number plate details.
The price of parking at BER depends heavily on the time of travel, the length of stay and when you book. Current conditions are set out in the airport's official booking process.
When an airport transfer makes more sense
Your own parking space works well if you want to stay flexible and handle the return journey yourself after landing. An airport transfer can make more sense if you're travelling with children or lots of luggage, returning late at night, parking for a long time, or want to avoid the walk from your space to the terminal.
