Parking at Terminal 1 of Guarulhos Airport has the lowest rate in the complex and no covered option. T1 is served only by the Standard sector, which charges R$ 31.00 for the first hour and R$ 480.00 in the 11-to-17-day band. Anyone who wants a covered spot has to go to another terminal or to an outside lot, where a covered spot starts at R$ 298.50 for 15 days. The official car park was checked on 17 September 2026, and the outside lots on 19 October 2026.

Which sector serves parking at Terminal 1 in Guarulhos?
São Paulo/Guarulhos Governador André Franco Montoro International Airport, IATA code GRU, has three passenger terminals. Terminal 1 is the oldest, concentrates domestic flights and is the only one served by a single sector.
| Official sector | Serves | First hour | Single day |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | Terminals 1 and 2 | R$ 31.00 | R$ 79.00 |
| Premium and multi-storey car park | Terminals 2 and 3 | R$ 38.00 | R$ 107.00 |
| Flex | Terminal 3 | R$ 38.00 | R$ 107.00 |
The split by sector has two effects, and both are worth knowing before driving out there.
The first is good for your wallet: anyone departing from T1 pays the lowest official table. That is R$ 7.00 less for the first hour. And R$ 28.00 less for a day, against anyone using Premium or the multi-storey car park.
The second is a limitation: there is no official covered spot at Terminal 1. The multi-storey car park serves Terminals 2 and 3. In other words, anyone who wants the car under a roof inside the complex has to park at another terminal and travel across.
How much does parking at Terminal 1 of Guarulhos Airport cost?
The table charges by length-of-stay band, not by a daily rate multiplied out. The figures below are for Standard, which is the T1 sector. All read from the table published by the operator and checked on 17 September 2026.
| Length of stay | Total at the official T1 car park |
|---|---|
| Up to 1 hour | R$ 31.00 |
| Up to 2 hours | R$ 54.00 |
| Up to 3 hours | R$ 62.00 |
| Up to 4 hours | R$ 70.00 |
| Up to 1 day | R$ 79.00 |
| 2 days | R$ 157.00 |
| 3 days | R$ 223.00 |
| 4 days | R$ 290.00 |
| 5 days | R$ 360.00 |
| 6 to 10 days | R$ 460.00 |
| 11 to 17 days | R$ 480.00 |
| 18 to 30 days | R$ 505.00 |
| Over 30 days | the 30-day package plus R$ 19.90 a day |
Two readings matter. First: the bands are totals, not per-day figures. A fifteen-day trip falls into the 11-to-17-day band and pays R$ 480.00, the same as a seventeen-day one.
Second: the curve is steep up to the fifth day and almost flat after that. Five days cost R$ 360.00 and ten cost R$ 460.00. So the price per day drops from R$ 72.00 to R$ 46.00 across that interval.
What does a day come to in each T1 band?
Looking at the per-day figure changes the decision, and the official table hides it.
| Standard band | Total | Per-day figure at the top of the band |
|---|---|---|
| Up to 1 day | R$ 79.00 | R$ 79.00 |
| 2 days | R$ 157.00 | R$ 78.50 |
| 5 days | R$ 360.00 | R$ 72.00 |
| 6 to 10 days | R$ 460.00 | R$ 46.00 |
| 11 to 17 days | R$ 480.00 | R$ 28.24 |
| 18 to 30 days | R$ 505.00 | R$ 16.83 |
In other words, the per-day figure drops from R$ 79.00 to R$ 16.83 as the stay stretches. It is the same logic as the partners, with a floor closer to the official one. At Aerovalet's uncovered spot, a day costs R$ 18.49 as a single day, R$ 18.90 from 2 to 6 days and drops to R$ 14.90 from 18 days up. Over thirty days, the official car park comes to R$ 16.83 a day, above Aerovalet's uncovered spot and below the R$ 17.90 of Aeropark's uncovered spot.
What does the alternative outside the complex cost for a T1 departure?
Besides the official T1 car park, Movepark has two partner lots in this location, both with a van transfer. On 19 October 2026, Aerovalet charged less than Aeropark for every length of stay, for both the uncovered and the covered spot. For valet, the two charged the same.
| Length of stay | Uncovered spot | Covered spot | Valet |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 day at Aerovalet | R$ 18.49 | R$ 24.90 | R$ 119.20 |
| 7 days at Aerovalet | R$ 125.30 | R$ 153.30 | R$ 593.90 |
| 7 days at Aeropark | R$ 139.30 | R$ 195.30 | R$ 593.90 |
| 15 days at Aerovalet | R$ 238.50 | R$ 298.50 | R$ 692.90 |
| 15 days at Aeropark | R$ 283.50 | R$ 388.50 | R$ 692.90 |
| 30 days at Aerovalet | R$ 447.00 | R$ 537.00 | R$ 791.90 |
| 30 days at Aeropark | R$ 537.00 | R$ 717.00 | R$ 791.90 |
The single-day rate exists only at Aerovalet, because Aeropark works with a 2-day minimum stay. The live price is in the Guarulhos price index, with the date each table was last updated.
How much do you save by leaving the official car park at Terminal 1?
The Standard sector of Terminal 1 has the lowest table in the complex. So this is the hardest comparison an outside lot faces in this location. The gap is wide up to fifteen days and shrinks over a month. The table uses the partners' cheapest spot, Aerovalet's uncovered spot.
| Length of stay | Official Standard | Aerovalet, uncovered | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 day | R$ 79.00 | R$ 18.49 | R$ 60.51, or 76.6% |
| 7 days | R$ 460.00 | R$ 125.30 | R$ 334.70, or 72.8% |
| 15 days | R$ 480.00 | R$ 238.50 | R$ 241.50, or 50.3% |
| 30 days | R$ 505.00 | R$ 447.00 | R$ 58.00, or 11.5% |
It is worth noting where the official car park comes out ahead. A partner's valet costs R$ 692.90 over fifteen days, R$ 212.90 above the R$ 480.00 of Standard. If you want a valet and the lowest total, the sum does not work out at a partner in that band.
Over thirty days, T1 Standard (R$ 505.00) comes in below three of the partners' four spot options. Aeropark's uncovered spot and Aerovalet's covered spot cost R$ 537.00, R$ 32.00 more. Aeropark's covered spot costs R$ 717.00. Over a month, only Aerovalet's uncovered spot stays below the official car park.
Where do you park under cover if the flight leaves from Terminal 1?
Since there is no official covered sector at T1, there are three routes for parking at Terminal 1 of Guarulhos Airport, and they cost quite differently.
| Covered option, 15 days | Total | What it charges in return |
|---|---|---|
| Covered spot at a partner lot | R$ 298.50 to R$ 388.50 | a van transfer, 15 to 50 minutes |
| Multi-storey car park at T2 | R$ 610.00 | an internal journey between terminals |
| Valet at a partner lot | R$ 692.90 | a van transfer, with a valet |
Aerovalet's covered spot comes in R$ 311.50 below the T2 multi-storey car park over the same fortnight, and Aeropark's, R$ 221.50 below. Over thirty days, Aerovalet's covered spot costs R$ 537.00 against R$ 690.00, or R$ 153.00 of difference. Aeropark's, at R$ 717.00, now costs R$ 27.00 more than the multi-storey car park. A partner's valet also sits above it over the fortnight, by R$ 82.90.
In practice, anyone departing from T1 who wants a roof over the car spends less at Aerovalet's covered spot, which stays below the multi-storey car park over a fortnight and over a month. The cover comparison by band is in the post on the price of parking at Guarulhos.
How far is the parking from Terminal 1 of Guarulhos Airport?
The good news about GRU Terminal 1 parking is the distance: it is the terminal closest to the partner lots, and by a wide margin.
| Partner lot | Distance from T1, straight line | Distance from T2 | Distance from T3 | Stated transfer |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Aeropark | 1.88 km | 2.65 km | 3.06 km | 10 minutes, van every 30 |
| Aerovalet | 4.85 km | 4.87 km | 5.00 km | not stated on its page |
Distances are calculated in Movepark's database with PostGIS, as a straight line. All three terminals are registered as points of their own, so the measurement is per terminal, not an average of the complex.
The practical reading is direct. Aeropark sits 1.18 km closer to T1 than to T3. It is also 2.97 km ahead of the other partner. But the proximity has a price: Aeropark charges more than Aerovalet for every length of stay, for both the uncovered and the covered spot. Over fifteen days in the uncovered spot, that is R$ 45.00 more.
How much time should you add to the journey when departing from Terminal 1?
The time block is the smallest in this location, because T1 is the terminal closest to both lots.
At Aeropark, the page states a 10-minute transfer and a van every 30 minutes. Adding the wait, the ride and the walk to the desk, that is 15 to 50 minutes between entering the lot and standing in the terminal. Allow around 40 minutes, and put that block before your airline's check-in deadline.
So even in this location's best case, the outside lot charges time. That is what the official car park sells for R$ 31.00 in the first hour: a walk instead of a van. The full door-to-door time sum is in the post on parking near Guarulhos Airport.
How much does it cost to pick someone up at Terminal 1?
The hourly rate is the question of someone who is not travelling, and the Terminal 1 table answers it directly.
| Time in the lot | Standard, at T1 |
|---|---|
| Up to 1 hour | R$ 31.00 |
| Up to 2 hours | R$ 54.00 |
| Up to 3 hours | R$ 62.00 |
| Up to 4 hours | R$ 70.00 |
For that use, the official car park is the obvious choice, and not on price. It is a walk from the terminal, with no van in the way, and that solves an arrival with a delayed flight.
In money, though, it does not win even in that band. The first hour costs R$ 31.00, above Aerovalet's single-day rate of R$ 18.49. So anyone willing to wait for the van pays less for a whole day than for one hour inside the complex.
What does staying more than thirty days at the Terminal 1 car park cost?
The longest band works differently from the others. Above 30 days, the official car park charges the 30-day package and adds R$ 19.90 per extra day, which is Standard's fixed daily rate.
In practice, 45 days at T1 come to R$ 505.00 for the package plus R$ 298.50 for the fifteen extra days. So the total lands at R$ 803.50.
At Aerovalet's uncovered spot, the table reaches a floor of R$ 14.90 a day from eighteen days up, and does not rise after that. Forty-five days come to R$ 670.50, R$ 133.00 below the official car park. At Aeropark's uncovered spot and at both covered spots, 45 days already cost more than the official car park.
Is it worth swapping Terminal 1 for Terminal 2 to park?
The question of switching terminals comes up a lot for anyone comparing parking at Terminal 1 of Guarulhos Airport. The rate belongs to the sector the car sits in, not to the terminal you depart from. Since Standard serves Terminals 1 and 2, anyone departing from T1 gains nothing by switching lots: the price is the same at both.
The switch only makes sense for another reason, which is cover. The multi-storey car park is at T2, and there the 11-to-17-day band costs R$ 610.00, against R$ 480.00 for Standard.
Three points to decide by:
- If you only want the lowest price inside the complex, stay in your own T1 Standard.
- If you want a roof over the car, compare the R$ 130.00 extra of the multi-storey car park with a partner's covered spot, from R$ 298.50.
- If the flight is at night, bear in mind that the internal journey with luggage happens in both directions.
What changes on the way back, on arrival at T1?
On the way back, what decides is not the price but where the car is. Anyone who left it at the official car park walks from the terminal to the lot. Anyone who left it at an outside lot has to call the van and wait for it.
Both partners state 24-hour service on their pages, so there is someone to call at any hour. Aeropark states a van every 30 minutes, and Aerovalet does not state a frequency, which is worth confirming on arrival.
Both also state 60 minutes of grace on collection, which is the slack for a delayed flight without it turning into a new day's charge.
How does payment work at the official Terminal 1 car park?
The operator's page lists what the official car park accepts, and that settles the question for someone already on the motorway. On 17 September 2026 it accepted:
- Cash, in Brazilian reais only.
- Credit and debit cards.
- Electronic toll tags: Sem Parar, ConectCar, Veloe and Taggy.
- QR Code, scanning the ticket with a phone.
The operator also states that vehicles are insured against theft and robbery, under Guarulhos municipal law nº 13,912/2010. And that booking ahead gives access to a dedicated barrier, with a QR Code voucher.
At the partner lots, the payment method is the one for a Movepark booking. What each unit states on its page is in Aeropark and Aerovalet.
Who fits each option at Terminal 1?
Five profiles cover everyone using parking at Terminal 1 of Guarulhos Airport. The official figures are from 17 September 2026, and the partners' from 19 October 2026:
- Picking someone up or dropping them off: official Standard, at R$ 31.00 for the first hour, because there is no van.
- A one-day there-and-back: Aerovalet, at R$ 18.49 for an uncovered spot, against R$ 79.00 at the official one.
- A week's travel: a partner, in an uncovered or covered spot, which comes in R$ 264.70 to R$ 334.70 below the official car park.
- A whole month: Aerovalet in an uncovered spot, at R$ 447.00, R$ 58.00 below the official car park. For the other spots, the official car park is cheaper over a month.
- Anyone who wants cover: a partner's covered spot, from R$ 298.50 over fifteen days, since T1 has no covered sector.
When does the official Terminal 1 car park not pay off?
Two situations where the gap becomes indefensible for anyone looking for parking at Terminal 1 of Guarulhos Airport.
A five-day trip. The official car park charges R$ 360.00, and the partner charges R$ 94.50 for those same five days in Aerovalet's uncovered spot. That is R$ 265.50 of difference on a short trip.
A fifteen-day trip. That is R$ 480.00 at the official car park against R$ 238.50 for Aerovalet's uncovered spot. The difference, R$ 241.50, pays for another whole fortnight at the outside lot.
On a month-long stay, the outside lot's advantage almost disappears. Only Aerovalet's uncovered spot comes in below the official T1 car park, by R$ 58.00.
Anyone after the lowest possible total will find the full route in how to park cheaply at Guarulhos Airport.
A five-step routine for Terminal 1
What to do before leaving home, in order:
- Confirm the flight departs from T1, because at the official car park that sets the sector and the price.
- Add up the real length of stay, with slack on the return, and look at the band, not the daily rate.
- If you want a covered spot, know that it does not exist at T1 and compare the three options above.
- Simulate the same period in the Guarulhos price index and compare totals.
- If you choose the outside lot, check the minimum stay and book on the online table.
Does Terminal 1 have motorcycle parking?
The table published by the operator does not break out a figure for motorcycles in any sector. So the honest answer is that the data is not in the source. It is worth calling before counting on a space.
On the partners' side, the Movepark system has a spot type for motorcycles. So the price index separates motorcycle from car when the unit offers it. On 17 September 2026, neither of the two Guarulhos units had an active motorcycle table. The three published types were uncovered spot, covered spot and valet.
In other words, in Guarulhos the motorcycle still has no published price on either side. Anyone who needs it should confirm by phone with their chosen lot, and it is a gap worth recording.
How were these prices gathered?
The partner lots' prices came from the booking engine on 19 October 2026. It is the same figure that closes a booking, published in the price index with the date each table was last updated.
The official car park's price does not pass through the Movepark engine. It was read by hand from the table the operator publishes on the airport's site, as an image, and checked on 17 September 2026. That is why every official figure here carries the date beside it. It can change without notice, and no system tells us when it does. The split by sector, the payment methods and the reference to the municipal law also come from that same page.
Distances are calculated in the database with PostGIS, as a straight line between the lot's coordinates and each terminal's. Transfer time and van frequency are stated by each unit on its page. They appear as the unit's own statement, not as a Movepark promise. When a field is not stated, the text says so.
Airport traffic figures are on the ANAC statistics portal.
Frequently asked questions
How much does parking at Terminal 1 of Guarulhos Airport cost?
On 17 September 2026, the official T1 car park charged R$ 31.00 for the first hour and R$ 79.00 for a day. In the 11-to-17-day band, R$ 480.00, and in the 18-to-30 band, R$ 505.00. That is the Standard sector, which serves Terminals 1 and 2.
Does Terminal 1 in Guarulhos have covered parking?
No, the official car park does not. Since the multi-storey car park and Premium serve Terminals 2 and 3, at T1 there is only an uncovered Standard lot. Anyone who wants the car under a roof uses a partner lot's covered spot, from R$ 298.50 over fifteen days, or parks at another terminal.
Which car park is closest to Terminal 1 in Guarulhos?
The official one, because it is inside the complex. Among the Movepark partners, Aeropark, 1.88 km from T1 as the crow flies, which is the shortest distance in this location. It states a 10-minute transfer and a van every 30. Aerovalet sits 4.85 km away.
How much do you save by parking outside Terminal 1?
Over a week, R$ 334.70, or 72.8%. There the official car park charges R$ 460.00, on 17 September 2026, and Aerovalet's uncovered spot comes to R$ 125.30, on 19 October 2026. Over fifteen days the gap is R$ 241.50, and over thirty, R$ 58.00. Over a month, the partners' other spots cost more than the official car park.
How much does an hour at the Terminal 1 car park cost?
R$ 31.00 in the Standard sector, on 17 September 2026. Worth remembering that the cheapest partner's single-day rate came to R$ 18.49, below the price of one hour inside the complex. In that band the official car park buys time, not savings.
Does the Terminal 1 car park accept toll tags?
Yes. The operator's page lists Sem Parar, ConectCar, Veloe and Taggy, along with cash, credit and debit cards, and payment by QR Code on the ticket. The information is the operator's own, checked on 17 September 2026.
Does the price change if I depart from Terminal 1 and not Terminal 3?
At the official car park it does, because the rate belongs to the sector. T1 uses Standard, which is the cheapest. T3 only has more expensive sectors, with R$ 130.00 of difference in the 11-to-17-day band. At the partner lots the table is the same for all three terminals.
