€3 buys you the first 30 minutes at T2’s curb
Short‑Term Parking Terminal 2 sits directly in front of the T2 departures and arrivals doors at Berlin Brandenburg (BER), giving true curbside access for drop‑offs and pick‑ups. It uses the same official short‑stay tariff band as T1’s zone, so you tap into the airport’s premium pricing in exchange for walking a few metres from car to terminal.
Pricing starts at roughly €3 for the first 30 minutes and then climbs sharply over the next couple of hours. This structure is applied across BER’s official short‑stay areas, including the one serving Terminal 2, so a quick handoff is relatively reasonable, but stretching that stop into “I’ll just wait a bit” territory adds cost fast.
Guides for BER are blunt: these Terminal 2 short‑stay spaces are not meant for long‑term parking and quickly become more expensive than the regular car parks P1–P8 once you pass the first hour or two. If you expect to be at the airport longer than a straightforward curbside drop‑off or walk‑out pick‑up, you come out ahead by moving the car into one of the multi‑hour or daily car parks instead.
Regulars treat the T2 short‑stay zone as a rolling curb, stopping only long enough for passengers to grab bags and walk inside, then heading to a standard car park if waiting becomes necessary. Complaints in pricing breakdowns usually come from drivers who left the car here for several hours around a delayed flight and then met a surprisingly high bill at the payment machine.
Tip: for Terminal 2, plan a true “kiss & fly” using this short‑stay zone, then shift to a regular BER car park if your wait looks like it will exceed 60–90 minutes.
