Terminal Car Park or Off-Airport Parking at BER – Which Is Better?

26.06.2026 | Guide

Travellers departing from Berlin Brandenburg Airport (BER) frequently ask themselves the same question:

Should I park directly in the terminal multi-storey car park or use a shuttle car park like myParkplace?

Both options come with advantages. Which solution is more suitable depends on your personal requirements, your budget, and your travel plans.

In this post we show you the most important differences.

Parking directly at the terminal

The terminal multi-storey car parks are located right next to the terminals. This means you can usually reach check-in on foot within a few minutes.

This can be a convenient solution, particularly for short stays or business trips.

Advantages

  • Short walk to the terminal
  • No shuttle required
  • Ideal for short stay parking

Please note

Depending on the time of travel and duration of parking, parking charges can be higher than for a shuttle car park.

Parking at myParkplace

At myParkplace, you park in a car park near the airport. Upon arrival, you first check in at the office, unload your luggage and then park your vehicle in the assigned parking space.

Afterwards, our free shuttle service will take you to BER Airport in just a few minutes.

Upon your return, you first collect your luggage, call our team and will be picked up at Bus Terminal B collected again.

You can find out how the return journey works step by step in our article „Here is how collection works after your return“.

💡 Good to know

Who is which solution suitable for?

The terminal multi-storey car park is particularly suitable for travellers who prefer the shortest possible walking distances and want to park for a short time only.

A shuttle car park like myParkplace, on the other hand, is particularly interesting if you are travelling for several days or weeks and value good value for money, personal service and a relaxed transfer.
