Short Stay Parking

€15 per day to park 1 minute from T1

Short Stay Parking at Cristiano Ronaldo International (FNC) sits directly next to Terminal 1, so you’re walking for about 1 minute from car to check-in. This is the closest official car park to the terminal, and it’s set up for drop-offs, quick trips, and anyone who wants a fast exit after landing.

The pricing is straight math: €15.00 per day and €105.00 for a full week. Above a couple of days, the weekly rate usually makes more sense, especially if you’re doing a Monday–Monday island run. It’s a standard short-stay setup, so don’t expect long-stay discounts beyond that weekly cap.

This car park is open whenever flights run in T1, so early 05:00 departures and late arrivals are covered. Because it’s next to the terminal, there’s no shuttle, no waiting around, and no guessing where to get dropped off. You roll in, park, and you’re at the terminal doors within a minute.

Short Stay Parking is best for trips up to about 7 days given the €105.00 weekly rate. For longer holidays on Madeira, costs can stack quickly, so it’s worth comparing with off-airport or long-stay options in the area. For business trips, quick weekend breaks, or picking someone up from a delayed flight, paying extra for this distance usually feels justified.

Tip: Screenshot your parking location and the entry sign for Short Stay before walking to T1; after a late-night arrival into FNC, every row looks the same, and this speeds up your exit by a few minutes.
