P48 Car Park

P48 sits about an 8-minute walk from WAW Terminal A

P48 Car Park is the airport’s official long-stay option, about a 7–8 minute walk from Warsaw Chopin’s Terminal A. It’s on-airport, so you avoid shuttles and guessing how long traffic will take. Signage on approach to the terminal clearly points you toward the P48 entrance, and the walk to departures is straightforward sidewalk, not a roadside hike.

The pricing is simple: PLN 50 per day for long stays. That daily rate usually beats short-term lots once you go past a couple of days, so it fits trips of a week or longer. Payment is automated at the exit machines, which take standard cards and cash. If you’re dropping someone off for a 2–3 hour stop, this daily rate can feel steep; P48 really makes sense for multi-day parking.

This is long-stay parking, so don’t expect valet or covered spaces; it’s open-air, standard marked bays. The walk to Terminal A takes around 8 minutes at a normal pace, with luggage in tow. There’s lighting across the lot and basic fencing around the perimeter. If you land late at night, factor those 7–8 minutes back to the car into your timing before booking a train or onward ride.

P48 operates around the clock, matching Warsaw Chopin’s early-morning and late-evening departures. You drive in through the signed P48 gate, take a ticket at the barrier, park, and pay at the machines before you exit. In peak holiday periods, sections can fill quickly, so arriving at least 30 minutes before check-in opens gives you time to find a spot, walk the 8 minutes, and still hit security without rushing.
