Marked disabled bays sit directly next to MVD’s T1 terminal
Accessible Parking at Carrasco Airport lines the curbside right by Terminal 1, so you’re only a short roll from the main doors. The terminal itself is small and easy to move through, which helps if you use a wheelchair, cane, or have limited stamina. Bays are on the same level as departures, so you avoid ramps or lifts before check-in.
Signs for Accessible Parking sit along the main access road that feeds into T1, and the designated bays run parallel to standard short-stay spots. The area is paved, relatively flat, and close to the sliding glass entrances used for both arrivals and departures. If you’re getting dropped off, ask the driver to pull right up to the marked wheelchair symbols nearest the door you need.
Airport information lists this as standard terminal-adjacent parking with disabled-designated spaces, but doesn’t publish a separate daily rate for Accessible Parking. Expect pricing to match other short-stay areas in front of T1 and confirm the current fee at the pay station or information desk inside the terminal. If you need extra time for loading a wheelchair or mobility scooter, factor that into your parking budget.
Enforcement details for disabled bays at MVD don’t show up in traveller reviews, and there’s little online chatter about fines or towing from these specific spots. That silence cuts both ways: assume traffic police or security may check permits, but don’t rely on empty spaces at peak departure times. If you arrive and all marked bays are taken, shift to the closest standard bay and use the curbside drop-off area for unloading mobility aids.
Tip: Arrive 30–40 minutes earlier than usual to give yourself time to find an Accessible Parking bay, unload comfortably, and still hit security in T1 without rushing.
