€10 per day keeps your car in Long Stay Parking at FNC
This is the airport’s dedicated long stay lot at Cristiano Ronaldo International Airport T1, about 0.5 miles from the terminal. Pricing is simple: €10.00 per day or €70.00 for a full week, which usually beats stacking multiple short-stay days if you’re gone more than 4–5 nights.
On foot, it’s roughly a 10-minute walk from Long Stay Parking to the T1 departures area, fine if you’re rolling one bag and the weather cooperates. The airport also runs a shuttle that covers the same 0.5-mile distance in about 5 minutes once you’re on board, so plan around that if you have heavier luggage.
The shuttle typically loops every 15 minutes, so worst case you’re looking at 5 minutes riding and 15 minutes waiting: build that 20-minute buffer into your arrival. For early morning departures out of T1, assume that plus check-in and security and back-time your parking entry accordingly.
Budgeting is straightforward: a 3-day weekend runs about €30, while a 10-day trip comes to €100 at the posted long stay rate. Compare that to taxis between Funchal and the airport a couple of times and Long Stay often wins on anything beyond a short 2-night hop.
Tip: if your flight from T1 lands late at night, snap a quick photo of your row number in Long Stay Parking before heading to the terminal; finding your car again in the dark after a 10-minute walk or 5-minute shuttle is a lot easier when you’re not guessing the section.
