The bigger gap is not between the airports

Put the two lists side by side and the airports charge almost the same for a week close to the terminal: 258 euros at Frankfurt, 250 at Munich. The difference that actually matters arises inside a single airport. At Munich the same week costs 107 euros on the Economy lot instead of 250 at the terminal — and the operator quotes seven days from 59.99 euros when booked online. At Frankfurt the holiday package for seven to fourteen days starts at 95 euros, while driving up without a booking puts the same week at 258 euros in Terminal Parking. Turning up unbooked therefore costs roughly two to four times as much at both airports. The other striking feature is Frankfurt's taper: from day eight the daily rate in Terminal Parking drops from 43 euros to 13. A long holiday is far cheaper per day than a five-day business trip — which means the single most expensive length of stay is, of all things, the week.

The second charge that regularly catches travellers out is the forecourt. Both airports give you ten free minutes, and both are counting. Frankfurt caps the free use at two trips a day and then charges 3.50 euros up to 15 minutes and 17 euros up to 60. Munich doubles its rates from the third entry on the same calendar day, at which point even the first ten minutes cost 3 euros. For a pick-up behind a delayed flight, that means the third lap of the terminal is the expensive one. Düsseldorf is absent from this comparison for a specific reason: on 7 September 2026 the airport's official car park overview named twelve facilities (P1, P2, P3, P4, P5, P7, P8, P10, P11, P12, P23, P25) and not one euro figure, pointing instead to the individual pages. BER maintains a page titled „Parkplatzübersicht und Preise“ that is closed to automated retrieval, so no figures from it are quoted here. None of that says anything about how high those prices are — only that they cannot be looked up the way Frankfurt's and Munich's can.
