P3 Economy

P3 Economy sits 5 minutes on foot from Strasbourg Airport

P3 Economy is the on-airport long-stay choice at SXB, about a 5-minute walk from the small terminal, with pricing built in /15-minute blocks up to 12 hours, then a 12–24 hour daily rate. It targets week-long holidays and longer trips where you still want to keep the car inside the airport perimeter rather than in a village lot or private compound.

This is the cheapest official car park for longer stays, but still often costs more over 8 days than several off-airport options listed on Parkos for Strasbourg Airport. It’s an uncovered economy surface lot, so you trade shade and premium positioning for a lower tariff compared with P1, while still avoiding any shuttle bus.

P3 appears in the same subscription section as P2 on the official Strasbourg airport site, with identical monthly, quarterly and yearly prices, which quietly signals its role as a long-stay workhorse used by staff and regular flyers. If you commute through SXB weekly or keep regional business trips on a tight schedule, a subscription here makes more sense than paying the public day-by-day rate.

FlyerTalk posters don’t complain about the 5-minute walk or the security setup; their main gripe is price for 3–4 day trips versus the cheaper private lots around Entzheim. One parking comparison site even calls out that official airport car parks like P3 and P2 generally sit above nearby private competitors, which is why mileage collectors tend to look off-site for leisure trips.

What regulars actually do: locals on forums often park off-airport for anything from a Friday–Monday break to an 8-day holiday, and reserve P3 or P2 for short, last-minute trips where shaving 10–15 minutes off transfer time matters more than saving €20–€40. Staff lean on subscriptions; occasional travelers pay the public rate when they don’t want the hassle of a shuttle.

Tip: price out your full stay length on an aggregator before committing; if you’re over 2–3 days and don’t mind a shuttle, off-airport can beat P3 Economy by a noticeable margin while P3 pays off mainly when that 5-minute walk to departures is the priority.
