5–10 minutes from Terminals 2 and 3 on foot
Direct Parking sits just across from Copenhagen Airport’s Terminals 2 and 3, marked as short-term parking and aimed at stays from a few hours up to a couple of days. You walk it in roughly 5–10 minutes depending on your gate and how much luggage you’re dragging. This is one of the closest car parks to the main check-in halls, so it cuts out the shuttle bus guessing game entirely.
This is officially classed as short-term parking, so pricing is higher per day than the long-term P15 and the remote lots. It’s the trade: pay more, walk less. If your trip is 1–2 days, the cost difference vs long-term is usually small enough that the time savings win. For week-long holidays, the daily rate here starts to sting.
Direct Parking is inside the main airport road system serving Terminal 2 and Terminal 3, not out in a business park. That matters if you’re dropping off kids, older relatives, or anyone who doesn’t want to haul bags across half of Kastrup. Drive in, find a space, and you’re in the terminal check-in areas within minutes, with no extra transport to plan around.
Pre-booking on the official Copenhagen Airport site often prices Direct Parking cheaper than just driving up, especially during school holidays in Denmark and Sweden. If you’re looking at a Friday morning departure from Terminal 3, check online a few days ahead; same goes for Sunday evening returns into Terminal 2 when the car parks traditionally fill up fastest.
Tip: If your return time slips, pay at the machine inside the car park before you walk back to your car; paying at the exit barrier adds delay, and at CPH the barrier timer is not generous during peak Terminal 2 evening waves.
