Larnaca International Airport (LCA) has car parks next to the single terminal building, operated by the airport, so it is a short walk from your car to check-in. There are areas both for quick drop-offs and pick-ups and for leaving a vehicle while you travel, which suits Cypriots flying away and visitors who have hired a car for their stay.
Short-stay versus long-stay

The parking divides broadly into two purposes. Short-stay areas sit closest to the terminal and are designed for dropping someone off, collecting an arriving passenger, or a brief errand, where you pay for a small number of hours. Long-stay parking is the sensible choice when you are flying away for several days and want the car waiting on your return; it is usually better value and can be booked online in advance. If you are only meeting a flight, head straight for the short-stay area and keep an eye on the arrivals board to time your run to the kerb.
Rates and how to pay
Parking charges and the exact zone layout are set by the airport operator and can be revised, so we deliberately quote no figures here. Booking online ahead of time often secures a better rate for long stays. Check the current tariff on the official airport channels before you travel. Take your entry ticket at the barrier and keep it safe, as you normally need it to pay and to raise the barrier on the way out. The currency is the euro (€).
At a glance
| Option | Best for | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Short-stay | Drop-offs, pick-ups, brief visits | Closest to the terminal; pay by the hour |
| Long-stay | Leaving a car while you travel | Better value; book online in advance |
| Drop-off / pick-up | Meeting or seeing off a passenger | Use short-stay; do not leave a car unattended at the kerb |
Practical tips
- Arrive a little early during the summer high season and holidays, when the airport is busiest and spaces fill faster.
- Note your row or bay before you walk into the terminal — it is easy to lose track after a trip.
- Keep your parking ticket with your travel documents, not in the car, so it does not get locked inside.
- Hired a car? Ask whether your rental company wants it returned to its own desk rather than left in public parking.
- Renting instead of parking? Compare ways into the region in our transfers guide.
Parking arrangements and prices can change, so confirm the current details on the official airport channels close to your travel date.
