Long Stay Parking

Free on-site parking beats paying €100+ at Munich or Frankfurt

Augsburg Airport’s so-called Long Stay Parking is basically the same free on-site lot used by all passengers, right next to the GAT terminal. Guides note that passengers and visitors park at no charge, which is the real draw compared with long‑term pricing at larger hubs. For multi‑day trips, locals still choose this free terminal lot instead of a distant long‑stay field with barriers and tickets.

The official long‑stay tariff lists €25.00 per day and €165.60 per week, but independent reports only mention a general free parking area by the terminal. No separate remote long‑stay zone shows up in spotter guides or business‑aviation notes, suggesting everything happens in the same surface lot. If those paid rates ever apply, they’re not part of the regular passenger routine described online.

Distance from parking to the GAT terminal is quoted as 0.5 miles, yet airport users describe it as essentially at the building. The walk time is marked as 1 minute, so think short stroll across a small car park, not an airport hike. A shuttle is listed at 10 minutes frequency with a 15 minute ride, but flyers don’t really talk about using one, which matches the tiny-airport setup.

Regulars pick Augsburg over Munich for trips lasting several days purely to dodge long‑term parking bills that can run well into triple digits. Spotter guides mention visitors leaving cars in the same free lot while they spend hours at the field watching traffic. One business‑aviation guide even calls out the free parking as a main advantage when routing clients through AGB.

Tip: Arrive 20–30 minutes earlier than you think, park in the main terminal lot by GAT, and keep a printed booking or screenshot of current parking info in case staff ever ask which tariff you’re on.
