Short Stay Parking

First 7 minutes are free in the Short Stay garage right by TRD.

Short Stay Parking (P3) at Trondheim Airport sits directly next to terminals A and B, with a listed 1‑minute walk to check‑in. This is the short‑term multi‑storey that locals treat like curbside: drive in, drop off or pick up, and roll your bag straight into the terminal without crossing any roads.

The key number here is NOK 0 for the first 7 minutes, then NOK 50 per started 20 minutes, NOK 150 up to 60 minutes, NOK 300 for 2 hours, and NOK 500 for a full day on the official tariff. For planning a whole-day stop, the airport’s own “daily” figure of NOK 400 is more of a reference; the meter in P3 runs on that step ladder pricing.

Automatic license plate recognition runs at the barriers, so you just drive in and out without taking a paper ticket. You settle up at the machines in the terminal or via the APCOA Flow app afterwards, all billed against your registration number. No need to keep track of where you put a tiny barcode slip when you’re juggling bags and kids.

There are no EV charging points inside the P3 short‑stay section, so if you need to top up for a long drive on the E6, you’ll need one of the other airport car parks or an off‑site charger in the Stjørdal area. This garage is about access speed, not long‑stay amenities.

Regulars on local forums mention walking straight through the P3 structure to reach bus route 70 on the far side, using the garage as a covered shortcut from arrivals to the bus stop. It’s a neat trick in sleet or snow when that 1‑minute indoor walk is nicer than standing outside.

Tip: for simple pickups, aim to be inside P3, at the dedicated pickup lane, under 7 minutes and you’ll pay nothing while still meeting right next to the terminal doors.
