For professional or personal reasons, you need to come to Geneva airport with your vehicle and park it for a week. But which parking lot to choose? How do you combine reasonable rates with quality service? We answer these questions in this article.
Why choose Parking Cointrin for a week's parking?
The advantages of long-term parking at Parking Cointrin
Very cheap parking for a week's stay
Parking Cointrin’s rates are designed to be accessible to all budgets. They are also particularly interesting for the long-term parking and offer undeniably less expensive than the official airport parking lots.
Parking close to the terminals
Some will reply that only the official Geneva airport parking lots are located near the terminals. This is partly true. Indeed, if we consider only the distance as the crow flies, the official parking lots are certainly closer.
However, Parking Cointrin is only a few dozen meters further away. On the other hand, this distance is offset by the existence of a free, flexible shuttle service to the airport parking lot in three minutes. In comparison, the parking lot P51 is the furthest from the official long-term parking lots. Yet it offers no shuttle service, and is more expensive than Parking Cointrin.
Free, regular shuttles
Parking Cointrin’s comfortable shuttle buses link the parking lot to the airport terminals in just 3 minutes. They run all year round, every day, between 4 a.m. and 1.30 a.m. This fast service is particularly appreciated by travelers who are tired, overloaded with luggage or accompanied by small children.
Services for an optimal experience
Unlike the official Geneva airport parking lots, which only offer essential parking services, Parking Cointrin offers several additional services:
- Online reservation for all parking spaces While the airport parking lots only allow reservations for three parking lots with the ResaPark system (P1 P26 and P51) and only for a limited number of spaces, Parking Cointrin has made online booking its central system. So you’re sure to have a seat when you arrive.
- Valet parking Our valet parking service takes charge of your vehicle on arrival and parks it in its final location.
- Vehicle cleaning We also offer a vehicle cleaning service. Choose between exterior cleaning for CHF 80, complete cleaning for CHF 165 or interior cleaning for CHF 90.
Rates for one week's parking at Parking Cointrin
Price comparison with other parking lots
The cost of a week’s parking at Geneva airport varies according to the parking lot. You can choose between two options: first, the official parking lots P1, P26, P20 and P51 for long-term parking. For the short-term parking we invite you to read our dedicated article. Then you have the private parking lots such as Cointrin parking lot
.
The difference is very significant over a week :
- CHF 110 for Parking Cointrin.
- CHF 128 for official parking lots P26 and P51.
- 197 CHF for official parking lots P1 and P20.
💡 Do you know ResaPark? These parking spaces are reserved exclusively for reservations. Reservations are made online and specific fees apply. The price of parking is calculated excluding reservation fees.
| Parking | Price for 4 days | Rate for 1 week | Rate for 2 weeks | Additional costs |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Parking Cointrin | 80 CHF | CHF 110 | 180 CHF | One-time application fee: CHF 40 |
| P1 (Switzerland sector) and P20 (France sector) | 128 CHF | 197 CHF | 407 CHF | ResaPark reservation fee: CHF 20 |
| P26 and P51 (Switzerland sector) | 81 CHF | 132 CHF | 237 CHF | ResaPark booking fee: CHF 00 |
Comparison of reservation systems
Parking Cointrin opens reservations for all its parking spaces. On the other hand, the airport’s official parking lots are open-access. Some spaces can be reserved using the ResaPark system, but not for all parking lots:
- P1 2100 seats, 480 of which can be reserved.
- P26 760 places including 268 reservable places.
- P51 1100 places, 305 of which can be reserved.
- P20 not bookable.
Parking Cointrin and ResaPark follow a similar booking procedure, using a form and secure online payment. However, a key difference lies in payment: with Parking Cointrin, you know the total amount at the time of booking. With ResaPark, you only pay the online reservation fee, and the remaining balance must be paid on site when you leave the parking lot.
Comparison of payment options
As you can see, if you use the airport’s official parking lots, you’ll have to pay on the spot, even if you make a reservation. With Parking Cointrin, on the other hand, everything is done online.
| Payment options | Parking Cointrin | Official parking lots |
|---|---|---|
| Where to pay? | Online at time of booking. |
