HOW MUCH DOES parking at Alicante airport cost? It's one of the most popular questions asked online locally, with visitors to the South Costa Blanca keen to work out their budgets for forthcoming stays and summer holidays.
But it's not just holidaymakers that want to know the current airport parking prices. Whether living here full-time or part-time, international residents often need to leave their car at the airport for varying periods throughout the year.
Fortunately, many local businesses have stepped in to fill the void, specialising in short-stay and long-term airport parking. Many companies offer better prices than you'll find on the airport concourse.
We've collated previous customer recommendations from the La Zenia Community Facebook Group, to bring you the most recommended alternative off-site airport parking services for summer 2023.
Parking at Alicante airport, how much does it cost?
Parking at Alicante airport is managed by AENA, a Spanish Government-owned airport and logistics management company. The cost of parking one car in the long-stay general car park at Alicante airport for a week in August 2023 costs €70. The price is valid for arrivals booking in advance, and the price increases to €78 without pre-booked reservation.
Two weeks of on-site parking in August costs €88 for pre-booked cars and €147 for arrivals without a reservation in place. Two weeks of low-season airport parking in November cost the same, and prices don't tend to vary throughout the year.
Pre-booked car parking prices have increased substantially over the summer, with a week in August booked before July costing just €40. That same week booked today costs €70, an increase of 75%. A two week advanced booking that used to cost €51 will cost €88 today, an increase in excess of 70%.
Long-stay parking prices at Murcia International airport are somewhat cheaper, with a pre-booked week costing €34, a fortnight costs €42, a month costs €117, and for three months the charge would amount to €427.
Simply for comparison, parking your car at Alicante airport's long-stay car park for an entire year would cost €2,356 if booked and paid for in advance, and the cost for parking without reservation or pre-payment is positively eye-watering.
