How Much Does Parking at Cluj Airport Cost in 2026

If you've got an early-morning flight from Cluj Avram Iancu International Airport and, halfway through packing, you've asked yourself "okay, but where do I leave the car?" — you're not the only one. It's one of those questions you keep putting off until the last night, and that's exactly when you end up paying more than you should.

Let's break it down with real numbers: how much does parking at Cluj Airport actually cost in 2026, and, more importantly, how do you pick the option that won't eat into your whole holiday budget.

The two options: official parking and private parking

At the airport, you've broadly got two choices. The first is the official car park, right in front of the terminal. It's a two-minute walk, sure, but it's built for short stays — the "drop someone off and go" kind. For several full days, the rates add up surprisingly fast.

The second option is the private car parks around the airport, which is where we come in. Here you pay a fixed daily rate, and your car stays in a fenced, video-monitored area, just minutes from the terminal. Over a week, the difference compared to short-stay parking can add up to several hundred lei.

What it actually costs in 2026

At Hamos Parcare, the rate starts from 35 lei per day for a regular car. That's not a "from" tucked in there to sound good — it's genuinely the first tier. A few reference points to give you an idea:

• one day: 35 lei;
• three days (a classic city break): 65 lei;
• one week: 115 lei;
• two weeks: 200 lei.

If you've got a VAN or a larger vehicle, the price is a little higher. The difference depends on the number of days — you'll find it broken down in the price table. One important thing: we don't include the transfer to/from the terminal, and that's exactly why our rate is lower than many car parks in the area. From the parking area to the terminal, we recommend an Uber or a Bolt (approx. 17–20 lei/ride). On the other hand, the parking spot and 24/7 video surveillance are included from day one, no hidden costs. The price confirmed at booking is the price you pay. Full stop.

If you want the exact amount for your dates, the simplest way is to use the calculator on the pricing page: enter your departure and return date and time, and it works out the total, seasonal adjustments included.

"I found one for 25 lei a day." Hold on a second.

You'll come across ads for parking at 25–30 lei a day and, honestly, at first glance they look unbeatable. It's worth looking at what isn't written in bold in the ad, though.

More often than not, at that price you don't get a fenced area with security or cameras. The car just sits on an open plot, accessible to anyone passing by. And when you're away for a week or more, the peace of mind that your car is actually being watched while you're gone matters more than a few extra lei a day.

I'm not saying every cheap car park is a trap. Just this: compare what's actually included in the price, not just the number on the front page.

How it actually works

We work on a self-parking basis, and honestly, that's the part that puts people's minds at ease the most. In practice: at booking you get an access code for the gate. You arrive, get in with the code, park your own car next to the others, and keep your keys with you. You don't hand them to anyone.

From the parking area to the terminal is a few minutes by Uber or Bolt, on your own. We don't include the transfer in the rate, precisely so we can keep the parking price as low as possible. The parking area is open around the clock, all year round, so it doesn't matter if your flight is at 5am or you land around midnight.

Three tips to pay less (and sleep easy)

Book ahead. Not necessarily for the price, but for availability. During busy periods (holidays, school breaks), spots fill up fast. Booking a day or two ahead guarantees your spot.

Add your flight time to the booking. That way we know exactly when you're arriving and have your spot ready with no waiting around. And if your flight moves or is delayed, one phone call and we sort it out, no change fees.

Work it out in advance, not on the spot. Five seconds with the calculator tells you exactly what you'll pay. Much less stressful than finding out the total only when you get back tired from your trip.

So, what's the total cost?

In short: for a typical week-long holiday, parking at Cluj Airport with us costs around 115 lei, with the parking spot and video surveillance included from day one. It's not the lowest number you'll see in an ad, but it is, we'd say, the fairest balance between price and "not worrying about the car while I'm away."

If you want to grab your spot, or just want to see the rate for your dates, you can book online in a couple of minutes or give us a call directly. We're here any time. And yes, we really do answer.
