Covered bays sit closest to Terminal 1 at KRK
Premium Parking is the covered car park right next to Kraków Airport Terminal 1, so you walk just a few minutes to departures. It sits in front of the main terminal building and keeps your car under a roof, which helps in winter snow and summer heat. This is official airport parking, not a third-party lot down the road.
Stays run from a few hours up to several weeks, and pricing scales by day, so a 3‑day weekend costs less per day than a single 24‑hour stop. You pay on entry by ticket and settle at machines near the terminal doors or at the exit barrier. Keep the ticket dry; the readers at the barriers sit about 1.2 metres high and do not love crumpled paper.
The Premium Parking entrance sits off the main airport access road that also serves the drop‑off zone and the P1/P2 car parks. Follow signs for "Premium" rather than the long‑stay lots further away from Terminal 1. The covered structure has clearly marked levels and spaces; height limits apply, so vans or cars over roughly 2.0 metres should use open‑air parking instead.
Security runs 24/7 with CCTV across the covered lanes, and lighting stays on all night, which helps if your flight lands at 23:30 or later. You keep your keys, and there is no valet hand‑off, so your car stays where you parked it. If something goes wrong with payment after hours, use the intercom button on the pay machine or exit barrier to reach airport staff.
Tip: Prebook Premium Parking online for your exact flight dates; drive‑up prices at KRK can be noticeably higher during peak holiday weeks in July and August.
