Accessible Parking

Five-minute flat walk from car to João Paulo II terminal doors

Accessible Parking at PDL sits right next to the terminal, across the street from arrivals and departures, so the walk clocks in at roughly 5 minutes on level ground. The lot is surface-level only, so there are no internal ramps, elevators, or long corridors to deal with, which matters more here than the exact count of marked disabled bays.

Pricing is simple: €15.00 per day or a capped €100.00 for a week, which starts to beat paying daily after day seven. This is the same front-of-terminal zone most people use, so you’re not pushed out to a remote shuttle lot; you park in the main field and head straight to the terminal doors.

The layout is small enough that you always stay within a short distance of the building, and you cross only one access road between the lot and the terminal façade. Because everything is on a single level, people using canes, walkers, or pushing a wheelchair often find this easier than a multi-story garage with tight ramps and long walkways.

What regulars do: drivers with reduced mobility often get dropped directly at the terminal entrance, then a companion circles back and parks the car in this same Accessible Parking area across the street. That trick cuts the personal walking distance down to the 20–30 meters from curbside to check-in, instead of the full 5-minute lot-to-terminal walk.

Tip: in peak morning bank hours, aim to arrive 15–20 minutes earlier than normal so you can grab a space on the rows closest to the terminal crossing and keep the walk as short and flat as possible.
