5–10 minute walk from Terminal 1: that’s Short Stay
Short Stay sits directly in front of Deputado Luiz Eduardo Magalhães International Airport’s Terminal 1, close enough that most people walk to check-in in about 5–10 minutes. It’s an official airport lot, so you’re on the same access road as the terminal drop-off lanes, with no shuttle or extra transfer to figure out after you park.
The lot works best for quick trips of a few hours or a single day, not week-long parking. Pricing is by the hour, then capped by the day, and sits above what you’d pay in the more distant long‑term areas. Think of it as paying a bit extra for staying within easy reach of the check-in counters for domestic flights out of Terminal 1.
Short Stay operates 24 hours a day, matching the airport’s first departures and late-night arrivals. That matters if you’re catching a 05:00 flight or landing on a 23:45 arrival, because you can drive in or out at any time without waiting for a gate to open or a shuttle timetable to line up with your schedule.
Security is the standard airport setup: fixed entry and exit barriers, ticket machines, and patrols tied into the same system as the terminal area. You enter via the main access road used by public cars and taxis and follow the signs marked for “Estacionamento Curta Permanência” near Terminal 1. Payment usually happens at automatic pay stations before you get back to your car.
Tip: if you’re dropping someone for a domestic flight, check the posted grace period at entry; using those free minutes can save you from paying a full hour just to handle a quick drop-off at Terminal 1.
