Tips for choosing the right car park
1. Distance from the terminal
When choosing a car park, distance from the terminal matters. Look for one placed strategically near Guarulhos Airport, offering quick, convenient access so arriving and leaving is straightforward.
2. Security setup
Your vehicle's safety comes first, so a car park with an advanced security setup, 24-hour monitoring included, that gives travellers peace of mind, stands out.
3. Transparent rates
Avoid unpleasant surprises by checking rates in advance. Aeropark and the other car parks are transparent about their rates, with no hidden fees.
The parking options at Guarulhos Airport, side by side
São Paulo/Guarulhos International Airport, code GRU, has two Movepark partner lots, with distance measured to the terminal and rates coming from the booking engine. The comparison below is from the query of 17 September 2026.
| Lot | Distance from Terminal 1 | Stated transfer | Minimum stay | 7 days, uncovered | 7 days, covered |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Aeropark | 1.88 km | 10 minutes, van every 30 | 2 days | R$ 93.17 | R$ 111.79 |
| Aerovalet | 4.85 km | not stated | no minimum | R$ 93.17 | R$ 111.79 |
Note that both charge the same from seven days up, which changed in the September price revision. So Aeropark wins on distance and a stated transfer, and Aerovalet wins in the short bands and on a one-day stay.
Aeropark: the closest to the terminal
It sits 1.88 km from Terminal 1 and states a 10-minute transfer, with a van every 30 minutes, on the unit's page. It runs uncovered, covered and valet spots, and works with a 2-day minimum. On 17 September 2026, thirty days in an uncovered spot came to R$ 239.40.
Aerovalet: the lowest daily rate
It sits 4.85 km from Terminal 1 and charged the lowest single-day rate in the area, R$ 18.49 for an uncovered spot on 17 September 2026. It accepts a one-day stay, which solves a there-and-back trip, and runs uncovered, covered and valet spots. Its page does not state a transfer, so it is worth confirming the journey on arrival.
The official GRU Airport car park
It sits inside the complex, within walking distance of the terminal, and is operated by INDIGO Group Brasil. Its rate does not pass through the Movepark engine: it was read by hand from the table the operator publishes, on 17 September 2026. It charges by length of stay, and the sector available depends on the terminal.
| Official sector | Serves | First hour | Single day | 11 to 17 days |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | Terminals 1 and 2 | R$ 31.00 | R$ 79.00 | R$ 480.00 |
| Premium and multi-storey | Terminals 2 and 3 | R$ 38.00 | R$ 107.00 | R$ 610.00 |
| Flex | Terminal 3 | R$ 38.00 | R$ 107.00 | R$ 610.00 |
The official car park pays off for a stay of a few hours, and in time rather than money: the first hour costs R$ 31.00, above Aerovalet's single-day rate of R$ 18.49. The detail by terminal is in Terminal 1, Terminal 2 and Terminal 3.
What to check before choosing
- Distance and transfer: a short distance saves time on the day of the flight. A transfer stated on the unit's page is what confirms a van exists, rather than a generic promise.
- Spot type: uncovered is always the floor of the table. Covered protects against sun and hail and cost R$ 18.62 more for the week on 17 September 2026.
- Minimum stay: Aeropark charges a 2-day minimum. For a one-day trip, Aerovalet comes to R$ 18.49 and the official one to R$ 79.00, both on 17 September 2026.
- Online rate against counter rate: the gap is around 17%, which over seven days in an uncovered spot meant R$ 18.63 on 17 September 2026.
The full table by length of stay is in the post on the price of parking at Guarulhos, and the comparison by distance in the post on parking near Guarulhos Airport.
How this comparison was gathered
Distance and transfer time come from each unit's page in the Movepark system, with distance calculated in the database as a straight line to the terminal. The partner prices are those of the booking engine as queried on 17 September 2026, and each partner can adjust its own table at any time. The official rate does not pass through the engine: it was read by hand from the table the operator publishes as an image, on the same date. The live price, with the date of each update, is on the Guarulhos Airport page. Airport traffic figures are on the ANAC statistics portal.
Frequently asked questions
How do you know the advertised rate is the one you will pay?
Look for the reference date and the length-of-stay band next to the figure. Airport prices change several times a year, and a number without a date cannot be compared. At Movepark the figure shown comes from the booking engine, with the table's date visible.
Why do two neighbouring lots charge different amounts in Guarulhos?
They do not always. On 17 September 2026 both asked R$ 93.17 for the uncovered week, and the difference only appeared in the short bands, from R$ 3.18 to R$ 7.95. What separates them there is address and service: 1.88 km with a stated van against 4.85 km with no van time on the page.
Are the advertised daily rate and the total for the stay the same sum?
Almost never. Aerovalet's single-day rate was R$ 18.49 on 17 September 2026, but seven days added up to R$ 93.17, not R$ 129.43. Comparing by the total for the period you will actually use avoids the trap of multiplying the full daily rate.
What tends to be missing from a parking comparison?
Three things: the date of the price, the minimum stay and the spot type quoted. Without those fields, two figures side by side may be describing different services in different months, and the comparison means nothing.
Is a 2024 guide still useful for choosing in Guarulhos?
It is useful for the method, not for the figure. The criteria for choosing are the same, but the 2024 tables have been replaced several times. Check the current figure before deciding, even if the text still makes sense.
