Parking area A

€5 per day gets you into Parking area A

Figure on about €5 per day if you leave your car in Parking area A at Lennart Meri Tallinn Airport. This is one of the main official airport lots, marked as “A” on the on-site signs and maps. It’s a straightforward surface car park, so no height issues like you’d get with a multi‑storey garage. Pay stations on site take cards, so you don’t have to chase exact cash before heading into T1.

Parking area A sits by the T1 terminal, so you’re aiming for a short walk, not a shuttle. For early morning flights around 06:00–08:00, build a few extra minutes into your timing for walking in and printing tags at check‑in. If you’re dropping someone off and staying under a day, the same daily rate structure still applies, so it’s better for actual trips than for quick pick‑ups.

Payment at Parking area A runs off the entry ticket you pull at the barrier. Keep that ticket in your wallet, not on the dashboard. When you’re back from T1 baggage claim, hit a pay machine before you reach your car; the system typically gives you around 15 minutes to exit after paying. Lose the ticket and you’ll pay the full‑day charge, so treat it like a boarding pass.

Tip: if your trip is more than 3–4 days, do the maths against off‑airport options, but if you want the shortest walk into T1, Parking area A is the simple choice to plug into your GPS.
