Where to leave the car at Genoa Airport?

Genoa Airport is located in the Sestri Ponente district, about 8 km from the city center. The area in which the airport is located is easily accessible from the highway and downtown Genoa.

Near the terminal there are some low-cost parking lots managed by private companies and some short and long-stay parking lots managed by Genoa Airport itself.

There are no free parking lots in the area.

Recommended parking

I will point out the best long-stay parking at Genoa GOA Airport. In my opinion, the best low-cost parking Genoa airport is Genoa Park & Fly, located a 5-minute shuttle ride from the airport.

Cheap airport parking at Genoa Airport (long-stay)

If you are looking for low-cost long-stay parking, you should know that the best ones are located near the airport entrance, are open 24 hours a day, and are organized with shuttle service, which will take you to the airport in just a few minutes.

They are located at a greater distance from each terminal at Genoa Cristoforo Colombo Airport to meet the needs of passengers looking for long-stay parking and, therefore, cheaper parking options.

Free parking near Genoa airport

Want to park your car or motorcycles near the airport for free? Free parking areas for cars are really hard to find, and especially located well away from the terminal entrance. For motorcycles, however, the City of Genoa has provided free parking for up to 32 motorcycles, located at 44 Via Pionieri d’Italia, right in front of the Tower Hotel.

Official parking lots Genoa Airport

genoa airport

The GOA terminal in Genoa provides some parking lots located right in front of the terminal entrance. The parking lots are called P1 and P2, and because of their proximity to the terminal, they offer slightly higher rates than the low-cost parking lots I mentioned earlier.

Genoa Airport Parking P1

P1 is the closest parking area to the airport entrance. It has 807 parking spaces and is definitely the most convenient parking area for reaching the terminal.

The parking rates are as follows:

  • Up to one hour: 3€
  • Each subsequent hour or fraction thereof: 3€/h
  • Up to 12 hours: 18€
  • Up to 24 hours: 30€ (on site), 24€ (online)
  • Two days: 60€ (on site), 48€ (online)
  • Three to seven days: 75€ (on site), 60€ (online)
  • Over seven days for each day or fraction thereof: 10€ (on site), 8€ (online)

Genoa Airport Parking P2 (Quick parking Genova)

Parking P2 is located 500 meters from the terminal (about a 3-minute walk) and allows uncovered parking with 200 outdoor parking spaces. It is open 24 hours a day, year-round, video monitored and guarded, and allows access only with online reservation.

It offers slightly reduced prices compared to P1, which is why it is more popular with travelers departing from Genoa’s Cristoforo Colombo especially for longer trips.

In order to park, one must necessarily have a regular online reservation. At the P2 entrance, one must enter the reservation PIN into the special column installed in the parking access area. At that point, a ticket is dispensed that will allow you to leave your car inside the parking lot for the duration of your stay.

  • First 12 minutes (Kiss&Fly): free of charge
  • Up to 1 hour (Kiss&Fly): 5€
  • Up to 1 day: 20€

FAQ

Which parking lot do you recommend?

If you are looking for low-cost parking, I recommend Genoa Park & Fly, a parking area located a 5-minute shuttle ride from the terminal entrance. The highlights are undoubtedly the free shuttle service and the ability to keep your keys with you during your trip (so you’re sure your car won’t be touched by anyone).

How long before boarding should you park your car?

If you plan to leave your car in one of the parking lots I recommended, I suggest you arrive at least 2 hours before boarding. So if you have to embark at noon, arrive at 10:00 am. This will give you a chance to park without stress, get to the terminal, and embark without any problems. If you plan to park in a more distant parking lot, I recommend arriving at least two and a half hours before boarding.

Do you recommend that I reserve a parking space before arrival?

Yes. I suggest you make reservations in advance to make sure the parking lots have available spaces. Should you find yourself without a parking space, you risk having to rush through everything.

Where is the Genoa airport located?

Cristoforo Colombo Airport is located in the Sestri Ponente neighborhood of Genoa. The exact address is as follows: Via Pionieri e Aviatori d’Italia, 1, 16154 Genoa GE

How many terminals are there at Genoa airport?

There is only one terminal for departures and one for arrivals, located in the same facility. Although the entrances are different, you can go from one terminal to the other in a few minutes by taking an elevator (or stairs) located inside the airport.

Is it possible to pay for parking with Telepass?

Yes. If your vehicle is equipped with Telepass, you can park inside the official Genoa Airport P1 and P2 parking lots using the dedicated lane. Your parking will be charged directly to your Telepass account. Please note: If you purchased your parking in the P1 or P2 parking lots online, do not use the Telepass lane.

Where to sleep near Genoa Airport

If you have a flight that leaves early in the morning (or one that arrives late in the evening) and would like to sleep near Genoa airport, you should know that there are several hotel facilities near the airport terminal. Let’s look at them together.

  • Tower Genova Airport: hotel located right at the entrance to Genoa Airport. The rooms are a bit dated, but given the absolute proximity to the terminal entrance, if your plane is scheduled for late evening or early morning, this hotel allows you to rest and leave the next day energized.
  • Best Western Premier CHC Airport: A short distance away is the Best Western Premier, a hotel that is about a 5-minute walk from Genoa’s GOA airport. This hotel, too, offers spacious rooms, a hearty breakfast buffet, air conditioning, and a 24-hour front desk.
  • Marina di Sestri Wonderful Penthouse: if you’re looking for an entire apartment near the airport, I recommend Marina di Sestri Wonderful Penthouse, an 80-square-meter home located in Marina di Sestri, 800 meters from the terminal entrance.
