Parking or Transfer to Modlin Airport? Complete Guide for Travelers (2026)

When planning a departure from Warsaw-Modlin Airport (WMI), every traveller faces a dilemma: drive their own car and pay for parking, or book a comfortable transfer? In this article we have analysed all the "door-to-terminal" options, compared prices and help you make the best decision.
1. Your own car: Overview of parking lots near Modlin
Within a 5 km radius of the airport there are dozens of parking lots. They fall into two groups: official (on airport grounds) and private (with a shuttle transfer).
Comparison table of popular parking lots:
| Parking lot | Type | Distance | Price (8 days) | Time to terminal |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Parking P1 | Official | 50 m | ~300 PLN | 1 min (on foot) |
| Parking P7 | Official | 3 km | ~120 PLN | 7 min (shuttle) |
| Pod Wiatrakiem | Private | 1.8 km | ~120 PLN | 2–4 min (transfer) |
| Bastion / Avanti | Private | 2–3 km | ~100–130 PLN | 5–7 min (transfer) |
| Tani Parking | Private | 4–6 km | ~80 PLN | 10–12 min (transfer) |
Downsides of parking:
- Time spent finding a space and waiting for the shuttle bus.
- Risk of transfer delays during peak hours.
- Full responsibility for the condition of a car left in an open lot.
2. The alternative: Private transfer
If you value comfort and don't want to leave your car in an unsecured lot, a professional transfer is an all-inclusive solution. You don't need to worry about navigation, fuel or parking costs.
Transfer cost from Warsaw to Modlin (2026 price list)
- Economy zone (Legionowo): 170 PLN.
- Popular districts (Młociny, Bielany, Bemowo, Wola): 170–180 PLN.
- City centre and south (Śródmieście, Mokotów, Ursynów): 200–220 PLN.
3. What works out cheaper: the travel maths
Comparing costs for a trip (7 days) from central Warsaw:
- Own car: Fuel (~50–60 PLN) + Parking (~120 PLN) = 180 PLN.
- Transfer: One-way ride = 200 PLN. You are dropped off right at the terminal doors and the driver helps with luggage.
Our verdict: If you are travelling for a short time (up to 5–7 days), parking may be slightly cheaper. However, for longer trips or travel with children and heavy luggage — the comfort and security of a transfer fully compensate for the price difference.
4. Why choose our transfer?
- Fixed price: No surcharges for traffic jams or diversions.
- Pick-up 24/7: We also operate at night (+ 40 PLN to the base fare).
- Various vehicle classes: From saloon cars to comfortable minivans.
- Punctuality: The driver brings the car in advance.
