Park, Sleep and Fly at Copenhagen Airport
The park-sleep-fly question at CPH has a clean answer at each budget level, because the airport publishes its car park tiers and two hotels keep parking cheap. Here is the hotel option, the airport option, and how to combine them.
The hotel option
The Four Points Flex is the anchor: on-site parking at 60 DKK per day, five minutes’ drive from the terminals, which keeps room-plus-car simple arithmetic. The Best Western Plus charges 95 DKK per day outdoors with an EV charger, walkable to the airport. The Comfort Hotel borders the airport’s P11 car park, so a night there pairs naturally with parking booked next door, and the Scandic CPH Strandpark keeps a garage under the hotel with its free weekday shuttle covering the morning hop. For multi-week trips, confirm with the hotel how long a parked car can stay; packages change.
The airport option
CPH’s own parking runs in four tiers, cheapest booked online in advance: Direct (P4, P6, P7, P8) at the terminal doors for drop-off money; Standard+ (P5, P10) a covered walk or short shuttle away; Standard (P11, P12) for the sensible long stay; and Budget (P15, P17, P19), outdoor lots connected around the clock by a free shuttle bus. A valet-style We Park You Fly service takes the car off your hands at the terminal.
Doing the maths
Under about four days, hotel parking plus a pre-flight night usually beats airport parking plus no sleep. Past a week, Budget-tier airport parking pulls ahead on the parking line, and the question becomes whether the early flight justifies the hotel night at all; with the metro running all night, city dwellers can even skip both. Package platforms bundle CPH-area hotels with up to two weeks of parking and a shuttle, worth pricing against the do-it-yourself total before booking either half.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which CPH hotels have parking suitable for a trip?
The Four Points Flex charges just 60 DKK per day on site, the Best Western Plus 95 DKK per day outdoors, and the Comfort Hotel is next to the airport's P11 car park. Confirm the length of stay allowed when booking; hotel-run park-and-fly packages come and go.
Is it cheaper to park at the airport or a hotel?
For a week or more, the airport's Budget car parks with their free round-the-clock shuttle usually win on price alone; a hotel adds the night before at little more than the room rate if its parking is cheap. Compare both against a park-sleep-fly package price.
How do the airport's own car parks work?
In tiers: Direct (P4, P6, P7, P8) at the terminals, Standard+ (P5, P10) with a covered walk or short shuttle, Standard (P11, P12) for longer stays, and Budget (P15, P17, P19) outdoors with a free shuttle running around the clock. Book online ahead for the best rates.
