Private vs. official parking at Seville Airport

In this article, we compare both options so you can make the best decision based on your budget, needs, and the comfort you seek for your trip.

DIFFERENCES BETWEEN PRIVATE PARKING AND OFFICIAL PARKING AT SEVILLE AIRPORT

When we talk about official parking, we refer to the parking managed by AENA at various airports in Spain. These parkings are often a choice for some users due to their convenience.

However, there are many private companies that manage various parking areas at Seville Airport. Since they are different companies, the management, location, prices, and booking methods vary from one to another. In the comparison below, we will discuss our 24Plus Parking at Seville Airport, which, despite being recently opened (February 2025), has our experience and background, as AUSSA has been managing parking services since 1998.

Location and Accessibility

  • Official parking at Seville Airport: It is located within the airport facilities and is typically used by some users who don't compare prices, as the rates are higher for both short-term and long-term parking.
  • Private parking: In general, private parking areas are located outside the terminal, with some options being farther away than others. Our 24Plus parking at Seville Airport is located just 3 minutes from the terminal, so the transfer to the terminal is not an issue.

Another factor to consider with private parking is that there are two transfer options to the terminal:

  • Shuttle transfer: You drive to the parking, park the car yourself, and the company will take you to the terminal, usually with a van.
  • Valet service: An employee from the company will take your car at the terminal, you hand over the keys, and they park the car in the parking lot, with the added inconvenience of leaving your car keys with a stranger.

At our Seville Airport parking, we offer a completely free shuttle service. Our company van will take you to the terminal, and in less than 5 minutes, you will be ready to start your trip. These are some of the reasons, apart from the convenience of traveling in your own vehicle, your car is the best option.

Security and Surveillance

We cannot guarantee what security measures other companies implement, so we recommend that you check if basic security services are offered before choosing your preferred parking option.

At Apparkya, we have a Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) system to ensure proper security in the area. We also have access barriers at the entrance to provide more peace of mind to users.

Prices and Rates

  • Official parking at Seville Airport: The rates for official parking are higher due to the location. Parking your vehicle in this lot for a week can cost around 110 euros (check current rates at any given time).
  • Private parking at Seville Airport: Private parking areas like 24Plus generally offer more competitive prices. In the case of our parking, we have rates starting at 3€ per day. This makes it a more affordable option, especially if you plan to leave your car parked for several days.

Additional Services and Comfort

24Plus offers several additional services that enhance the user experience. In addition to an affordable price, the service includes a free shuttle transfer to the terminal, adding extra convenience. At the same time, you don't need to leave your car keys with anyone, as the customer can take the keys with them during the trip.

ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF EACH OPTION

Benefits of Official Parking

The AENA parking lot is the best option if you only need to park for a few hours due to its proximity, for example, to pick up a family member or a friend.

Advantages of Private Parking

  • Affordable prices: With rates starting from 3 euros per day, the 24Plus parking is a much more affordable option, especially if you need long-term parking and plan to leave your car for several days.
  • Additional services: Private parking offers more services, such as free shuttle transfers to the terminal, saving you time and effort, especially if you have a lot of luggage. You don’t need to leave your car keys with the staff.
  • Security: 24Plus has the best security measures, ensuring your vehicle is protected at all times.
