❓Frequently Asked Questions about Parking at Galeão
- Can I reserve parking in advance?
Yes, especially for Econômico 1, which can only be used with an online reservation. For the other options, booking in advance is also recommended to secure lower rates and availability. - What is the best option for long stays?
The most affordable options for multiple days are Econômico 1 and 2. Although they are outdoor lots, they offer good value for money. Econômico 2 includes free 24-hour shuttle service to the terminal. - Does the “Sem Parar” system or automatic TAGs work?
⚠️ Warning: Users report frequent failures with the Sem Parar system. Sometimes the barrier does not open, causing delays. It is preferable to use other payment methods such as card, PIX, or the payment machines. - Is there free parking for a few minutes?
No. All parking areas are paid from the moment you enter. For dropping off passengers, it’s best to do so quickly in designated drop-off areas, without parking. - What happens if I exceed the exit time after paying?
After payment, you have 20 minutes to exit the parking area. If you exceed this time, an additional charge will apply. - Is there staff available to help?
Not always. Several reviews mention a lack of staff at access points to guide users. If in doubt, use airport maps or the official website.
