Zurich airport doubles parking fees

Thursday, 6 March 2025 06:30

Zurich may have beaten another world record – having the most expensive airport parking.

The airport is doubling the price for its short-term stay – now a franc a minute, although you get the first minute free.

The airport says the reason is to keep drop-offs flowing.

But international comparison shows it may mean Zurich has the most expensive short-term parking in the world.

According to the comparison website – Billiger Mietwagen – Zurich now takes over from the previous record holder, San Francisco.
