        Frequently asked questions about transport

        Here are the questions most frequently asked by our passengers.

        To benefit from the cheapest prices and guarantee a space in one of our secure car parks, we advise you to book your space as early as possible. You can book your space online 9 months before your departure date and up to 12 hours prior to departure.

        If you enter the registration plate of your vehicle in advance, the barrier will open automatically for you when you enter and leave the car park.

        Book your parking online

        There are several car rental firms on the airport site. They are located outside the terminal buildings and can be reached using our free shuttle bus service.  

        Book your car rental

        We operate a 24/7 free shuttle bus between car park P5 and all the airport terminals. It runs every 10 to 20 minutes. Count 10 minutes to reach the terminal buildings from car park P5 by shuttle bus.

        You can walk to the terminal buildings and the TGV station quickly and easily from car park P4. Car park P4 is not served by shuttle bus.

        There is no fixed shuttle bus timetable so we are unable to give you a precise pick-up/drop-off time.

        The terminal buildings can only be reached from car park P5 by shuttle bus. On average, the journey takes 10 minutes.  

        Tip: If you have a lot of luggage, why not book our valet parking service to simplify the journey between your car and the terminal buildings?
