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 P1Official50 m~300 PLN1 min (on foot)
Parking P7Official3 km~120 PLN7 min (shuttle)
Pod WiatrakiemPrivate1.8 km~120 PLN2–4 min (transfer)
Bastion / AvantiPrivate2–3 km~100–130 PLN5–7 min (transfer)
Tani ParkingPrivate4–6 km~80 PLN10–12 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:

  1. Own car: Fuel (~50–60 PLN) + Parking (~120 PLN) = 180 PLN.
  2. 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.

Don't waste time looking for a parking spot and waiting for free shuttle buses. Book your ride now and start your holiday in full comfort!
