Remote Parking

€8 per day looks tempting, but this “remote” option isn’t airport-run

Remote Parking at Antwerp International (ANR) basically means using city park-and-ride sites like P+R Luchtbal, then coming in by tram, bus, or taxi for that last 1 mile or so. The guide price of about €8.00 per day or €50.00 per week reflects what people aim for versus on-airport Indigo rates, not an official ANR product with shuttles. You park under municipal rules, then bolt on De Lijn tickets or a short cab ride.

There’s no dedicated airport shuttle from these P+R lots, unlike classic “remote” setups at bigger hubs, so factor in a 15-minute final leg and possible tram waits. From P+R Luchtbal, locals talk about pairing a cheap or free day rate with tram plus a quick taxi to Deurne, which can easily add €10–€20 each way. Build that into your math against a straight week at €50.00 in a closer option.

P+R Luchtbal and similar sites are run by the city of Antwerp, not the airport, which means pricing and access rules can change with municipal policy. One Facebook thread had a driver asking if a foreign-plated car was fine there for five days; replies said yes, but to keep valuables out of sight and avoid leaving bags visible on seats. Surveillance and patrolling aren’t at the same level as the on-airport Indigo lot by the terminal.

Regulars on local transport forums often park at P+R Luchtbal for trips of 5–7 days, then use the tram network to get close before grabbing a short taxi hop to ANR. The play is saving against that €50.00 weekly airport figure if you already know De Lijn routes by number. Practical tip: land your car in daylight, walk the lot once, and photograph your bay and surroundings so you can find it again fast after a late return.
