- Choose your lot based on stay duration (P1/P2 short term, P26/P51 long term, off-site for 5+ days).
- Receive QR code by email. This QR opens the entry barrier — no paper ticket needed.
- Drive to your lot. Follow the signs from the A1 exit to GVA — official lots P1, P2, P20, P26 and P51 are signposted from inside the airport perimeter. Off-site lots are signposted from the airport access road just before the perimeter.
- Scan QR at entry barrier. Barrier lifts automatically. Park in any free bay (no assigned spaces).
- Walk to terminal. P1 has direct terminal access, P2 is a short walk, P20 about 5 minutes, P26 and P51 about 10 to 15 minutes (P26 and P51 are next to the rail station entrance).
- On return: scan the same QR at the exit barrier. If you pre-paid the entire booked duration, nothing further is required. If you over-stayed, pay the extra at the payment kiosk before going to your car.

Lost ticket or QR code — what to do
If you forget your booking confirmation or your phone dies, go to the parking office in P1 (level -1, near the elevators). Staff can look up a booking made through ResaPark. Genève Aéroport does not publish a lost-ticket fee, nor the parking office’s opening hours — ask on site.
Valet parking
Genève Aéroport does run an official valet service, through two concession holders — and it states that these two are the only companies authorised to offer valet parking on site. Companies offering a similar service without that authorisation are not affiliated with the airport, which says it can neither guarantee their work nor accept liability if something goes wrong. For that reason we list the two authorised operators and no others.
- AirportParking — indoor and outdoor parking, plus car wash, EV charging and refuelling. Desk open every day 04:00–00:30. Bookings and details on airportparking.ch.
- easy-park.ch — the cheaper option: park, look after and clean your vehicle while you travel. Book on their website or at the counter, open 04:30–00:30. Details on easy-park.ch.
How it works on departure: drive to car park P1, take a ticket at the entrance and follow the “Services Voiturier” area on level −3. Use the intercom at the second barrier, take the lift up to the Check-in level, and hand your keys and parking ticket to the operator’s desk. On return, collect your key at the same desk — your car is waiting in P1, level −3, in the bays reserved for valet services. If your vehicle is parked in P2 instead, the ticket and key must be handed in at the AirportParking desk, otherwise it may be towed after 24 hours.
Prices are set by the operators, not by the airport, so we do not quote them here — check their own sites for current rates before you book.
Disability and family parking
- Disabled bays: P1 has 40 reserved bays directly opposite the elevators (closest possible position to terminal). Swiss disability card or EU/EEA equivalent required. No special booking needed but free of charge with valid card — show at exit barrier.
- Family bays: 24 oversize family bays in P1 with extra side-clearance for child seats. Bookable in advance (CHF 5 reservation) or first-come basis.
- Pregnant women: 12 reserved bays in P1, no booking, free with proof at exit barrier.
- EV + disabled: 8 dedicated bays in P1 combining accessible position and Type 2 charger.
Off-site parking — when it really saves money
The trade-off: a 10–15 minute shuttle ride at the start and end of your trip, and slightly less polished facilities. Worth it for stays of 7–14 days; not worth the hassle for under 5 days.

What’s the cheapest parking at Geneva Airport?
P26 and P51 are the cheapest official car parks at CHF 30 a day, CHF 132 a week and CHF 237 for two weeks. For a very short stop, P2 is free for the first 5 minutes and CHF 5 for 60 minutes.

Is there a free drop-off zone at Geneva Airport?
The Kiss & Fly area is on the Departures level, a few steps from the Terminal 1 entrance.

Yes — Geneva Airport has 150+ EV charging stations across P1, P2, P26 and P51. Most are Type 2 at 11–22 kW; P1 has 18 DC fast chargers at 50 kW for rapid charging.

What if I lose my parking ticket?
With a ResaPark booking, Genève Aéroport states that your number plate is recognised automatically at entry and exit, and that a QR code is sent to you as a backup. Without a booking, go to the parking office — the airport publishes neither a lost-ticket fee nor the office’s opening hours.
