10–15 minutes from CWB’s T1 by shuttle
Estacionamento Externo Conveniado sits off-site from Curitiba-Afonso Pena International Airport (CWB), with shuttle rides to Terminal 1 usually taking about 10–15 minutes depending on traffic. It works well if you want to park the car once and not think about airport traffic jams around the main terminal access road.
This lot operates around the clock, 24 hours a day, matching the early-morning and late-night bank of departures from CWB’s T1. Because it’s off-airport, you don’t deal with the same entry queues you often hit at the official terminal parking right before the 06:00–08:00 departures.
Pricing is typically lower than the on-site garage at Curitiba, especially once you cross the 24-hour mark and head into multi-day stays. Expect day rates that undercut the terminal parking by a noticeable margin, with savings adding up quickly once you pass three or four nights. Pre-booking online usually locks in the better rate tiers.
The shuttle drops you at the T1 departures level, near the main check-in islands used by carriers like LATAM and GOL. That keeps walking distance inside the terminal to about 3–6 minutes, depending on your airline’s counters and the security queue. Build in a total of 30–40 minutes from parking check-in to reaching your gate.
There’s no terminal-style height restriction here, so SUVs and taller vehicles that might be tight in CWB’s on-site structures fit more easily. Security is typically basic but present, with gated access and staff on-site during the main flight banks. Still, don’t leave valuables visible in the cabin.
Tip: For a 07:00 departure out of T1, aim to arrive at Estacionamento Externo Conveniado by 05:00 to leave room for shuttle wait time and check-in lines inside the terminal.
