Long-term Parking P4

€100 per week gets you Long-term Parking P4 on-foot close

P4 is Graz Airport’s main long-stay surface lot, priced at €16.10 per day or €100.00 for a week. It sits about 1 mile from T1, with a marked walking route that takes roughly 15 minutes at a normal pace. No shuttle system, no waiting in the cold at 04:30 — you just park, lock up, and walk straight toward the terminal.

This is the option that makes sense if you’re leaving the car for several days and don’t want to mess with city P+R rules. Local forums point out that P+R around Graz is aimed at commuters and that staff do check for airport users, so a two‑week trip from a city garage can get you in trouble. Here, you pay more than P+R, but you’re on airport property and not guessing if the car is allowed to stay.

GRZ is small and quick through security, and reviewers say even from the outer car parks the walk still feels short, checked bags and all. Add 15 minutes from P4 plus 10–15 minutes for T1 security, and you can back-time your arrival pretty tightly. That’s different from big hubs where remote long‑term lots can add 30 minutes of shuttle time each way.

Some locals still mix P+R with a bus or train to save every euro, but they admit it only works for light luggage and daytime flights. With a 06:00 departure out of T1 and a big suitcase, P4 at €100 a week usually beats dragging bags across town. The main complaint you’ll hear is simply that airport parking costs more than city garages, not that P4 itself causes problems.

Pro tip: build in that 15‑minute walk from P4 and aim to park at least 45 minutes before your T1 check‑in cutoff, especially on busy Friday or Sunday mornings.
