Parkit explains long-term parking (charter parking)

Long-term parking, also known as charter parking, is a type of parking facility designed to meet the needs of motorists who need to park their vehicles for longer periods of time, for example when traveling. 

What is long-term parking?

Long-term car parks are parking areas usually located near airports, ports, train stations and other transit points. By offering affordable parking options, security and convenience, long-term parking helps travelers focus on what's most important - their trip - knowing that their vehicle is in safe hands until they return.

Cost-effective

One of the main advantages of long-term parking is its cost-effectiveness compared to on-site parking. Airports and other transit points often have high parking fees, especially for longer periods of time. Long-term parking gives travelers an economically advantageous opportunity to park their vehicles for longer periods at more affordable rates. 

Security

Many long-term car parks have monitored areas and security measures that help protect the parked vehicles from damage, theft or vandalism. This gives travelers a sense of security, and they can rest assured that their vehicles are safe while they are away.

Convenience

Looking for a free parking space near an airport or other transit point can be stressful and time-consuming, especially when you are in a hurry to catch a flight or train, for example. Long-term parking addresses this by offering pre-booked spaces, reducing the stress and uncertainty of parking. The vast majority of long-term car parks also offer transfers to and from the airport/train station.

Extra services

In addition to parking, many long-term car parks may also offer extra services such as car cleaning, maintenance and sometimes even repairs. This is particularly handy as it means owners can return to a clean and well-maintained car after their trip. 

From north to south

There are long-term car parks all over Sweden, from north to south. Often they are owned and operated by the airports themselves, but there are just as many privately owned options. Be sure to read and compare reviews and ratings before you book to ensure you get what you want.
