50 meters from Terminal A, this is WAW’s premium short-stay lot
Premium Car Park sits directly in front of Warsaw Chopin’s Terminal A, about a 1–2 minute walk to departures. It’s a short-stay premium option, best used for quick drop-offs, pick-ups, or same-day trips where time matters more than price. You park your own car, grab your bags, and you’re basically at the terminal doors.
This is one of the closest car parks to the main check-in area for LOT and other carriers at WAW, so it works well if you want to walk straight into the departures hall. Being short-stay, it’s aimed at hours, not days, and pricing reflects the location. Treat it like curbside with less stress about police shooing you away.
Premium Car Park is inside the main airport road loop, so you don’t cross busy streets or wait for shuttles. Payment is done at automated machines or exit barriers, with tickets issued on entry. Check current hourly and daily rates on the airport site before driving in; Premium pricing at WAW usually runs above the regular P1/P2 car parks but below full valet-style services.
There’s no dedicated lounge-style waiting area here, just standard airport sidewalks and terminal entrances a few dozen meters away. That said, for early morning departures around 05:00–07:00 from Terminal A, the short walk in the dark and cold is minimal compared with remote parking. Families, business travelers, and anyone handling bulky luggage tend to appreciate the distance savings.
Tip: If you’re only meeting an arriving passenger at Terminal A and expect delays, park in Premium Car Park, pay for 1–2 hours, and wait inside the public arrivals hall instead of circling the terminal road.
