P5

10-day stays land cheapest in P5, not the short-term lots

P5 is the on-airport economy long‑stay car park at Poznań‑Ławica, aimed at trips of roughly 8–10 days or more. It sits about a 5‑minute walk from Terminal 1, so you skip shuttles and still keep to official airport parking. Pricing is structured for multi‑day use, not quick drop‑offs.

Guides like Parkos class P5 as one of only two long‑term car parks directly next to POZ and call out that P5 is open all year, while nearby P6 only operates seasonally. In winter, or any time P6 disappears from booking tools, regulars treat P5 as the automatic choice and stop checking the seasonal calendar.

On costs, long‑term parking at POZ routinely beats short‑term: one comparison example shows a 10‑day stay in the long‑term car parks running about EUR 25–30 total, compared to much steeper short‑term tariffs for the same length. P5 sits in that cheaper band, which is why it’s the default for week‑long holidays rather than overnight business trips.

Frequent users rarely pay the drive‑up rate at P5. They prebook through online platforms, using published 8‑day packages that undercut the on‑site hourly and daily structure by a noticeable margin. You still park in the same fenced airport lot; you just lock in the lower economy pricing before arrival.

There are no consistent complaints flagged in recent guides, and walking time stays around 5 minutes even at the far edges of the lot. One practical move: check P5 prices online as soon as flights are firm, then compare once against short‑term for your exact dates; if you cross about 3–4 days, P5 almost always comes out ahead.
