airport parking (CDG)
Parking.ai compares in a single search the private car parks with free shuttle and the valet services offered by the booking platforms around Paris-CDG — then redirects you to the best-priced offer for your flight.
How to find the best parking at Paris-CDG?
Parking at CDG can be expensive, especially for several days. The most cost-effective option rarely comes from the airport's own car parks: it is usually the private car parks a few minutes away — with a free shuttle to the terminal — and the valet services that offer the best rates. Parking.ai aggregates these providers' offers from the leading booking platforms in a single search, compares the total price (fees included), the transfer type and the services, then redirects you to the best offer for your flight and parking duration.
The ideal arrival time,
calculated for your flight
Enter your flight number: Parking.ai calculates when to arrive at the car park or meeting point based on your flight, your luggage, your passengers and the type of parking.
Search by flight number
Enter your flight from Paris-CDG (e.g. AF1234): the scheduled time and terminal are retrieved automatically.
Your travel profile
Checked baggage, adults, children: the recommended lead time is adjusted so you never rush, especially at CDG's peak hours.
Schengen or international
The flight type is detected automatically: allow more margin for an international or long-haul flight.
Shuttle or valet
With a shuttle car park the transfer time is added; with a valet you drop off directly at the terminal. Each offer shows its own arrival time.
Parking.ai starts from your flight's actual schedule (a base of 1 to 2 hours before departure depending on Schengen or international), adds time for checked baggage, family or group, then transfer time: private car park shuttle, or direct terminal drop-off for a valet. For a flight from CDG, plan to arrive at the car park about 3 hours before departure.
Private car parks and valets
around Paris-CDG
Parking.ai compares offers from the booking platforms to find you the best price/service balance.
Car park with shuttle
The most economical option: you park on a secure private car park a few minutes from the airport, and a free shuttle takes you to your terminal. No height limit — ideal for SUVs and long stays.
Valet service
The fastest and most comfortable: you drive straight to the terminal, a valet takes your vehicle at the meeting point and returns it on your way back. Perfect for families, early departures or heavily loaded travellers.
Secure private car parks
Covered or outdoor spaces, video-monitored and fenced. Parking.ai highlights reliable providers, with customer reviews and clear conditions.
Extra services
Some offers include car wash or EV charging while you are away: get back a clean, charged vehicle ready to drive.
Valet:
drop-off and return at the terminal
The most direct service at CDG — all valet offers compared by Parking.ai come from partner booking platforms.
How it works
You drive to your terminal's drop-off area, a professional valet meets you at the meeting point, takes your vehicle and parks it in a secure car park. On your return, they bring it back to your arrival terminal.
Who is it for?
Ideal for families with children, travellers with bulky luggage or sports equipment, people with reduced mobility and all early or time-pressed departures.
Offers from the platforms
Parking.ai compares valets from several booking platforms, with total price including fees and customer reviews, then redirects you to the best offer for your dates.
The valet saves valuable time by avoiding any transfer, while the shuttle car park remains the most economical solution. For a multi-day stay, compare both: Parking.ai shows the total price and recommended arrival time for each offer based on your travel profile.

Simple, flexible booking
You are redirected to the partner platform to complete in minutes, with cancellation conditions often flexible up to 24 h before.
What about the airport's official car parks?
The airport also runs its own car parks: "contact" parks next to the terminals (P1, PAB, PCD, PEF…), convenient but pricier and limited to 1.90 m in height, and "Eco" parks on the outskirts (PR, PX), linked by the free CDGVAL automated shuttle. They are handy for a short stay, but for several days the private shuttle car parks and valets compared by Parking.ai are generally more advantageous — often with no height limit and a direct transfer to the terminal.
Whatever the option, parking is free for the first 10 minutes in the terminal drop-off zones. Beyond that, the rate climbs quickly: these zones are for dropping off or picking up a passenger, not for parking.
Getting to Paris-CDG by car
Paris-CDG airport is about 25 km north-east of Paris, reached via the A1 motorway, the A3 then the N104 (Francilienne ring road). Traffic is heavy at peak times: allow a comfortable margin and favour a car park near your route. The partner private car parks are a few minutes from the terminals and handle the transfer themselves.
Between the road journey, the transfer (shuttle or valet) and the checks, it is recommended to arrive at the car park about 3 hours before a flight from CDG. With a valet, the terminal drop-off keeps this to a minimum.
Pay less for
parking at CDG
A few simple habits to cut the bill and travel relaxed.
Book in advance
The best providers' spaces sell out fast, especially during holidays. Booking as soon as your flight is confirmed secures the best rate and the service you want.
Compare the total price
For a multi-day stay, compare the full cost over the whole duration (fees included) rather than the daily rate: that is where private car parks make the difference.
Long stay = shuttle
Beyond 3-4 days, a private car park with shuttle is almost always cheaper than an official car park next to the terminals.
Read the reviews
Parking.ai highlights the best-rated providers and their conditions: a good way to book with confidence.
From 16 March 2027, CDG will adopt a simplified terminal numbering (1 to 7). If you book a flight well in advance, check the terminal number on your ticket against the airport maps — and give your parking provider the right terminal.
