Memmingen Airport Parking: P1 to P5, Shuttle Car Parks and the Sums from Munich

The Allgäu Airport Express timetable lists its terminal stop as “Allgäu Airport – Memmingen, Munich-West”. That is marketing with generous geography. The airport sits in Memmingerberg, around six kilometres from central Memmingen according to the operator, and routefare.eu measures 118 road kilometres to Munich and 114 to its main station – close to an hour and a half at the wheel with no traffic. Anyone who reads “Munich” on a boarding pass and only does the arithmetic on the morning of departure has a timing problem rather than a parking one.

The pattern is familiar. Hahn, up in the Hunsrück hills, carries “Frankfurt” in its name and sits just as far from the city it borrows it from; the reasons not to confuse it with Frankfurt’s main airport apply almost word for word here. For parking, this means two things. Memmingen’s prices are those of a busy regional airport, not a bargain field in the countryside. And the comparison worth making is not only Memmingen against Munich’s main airport, but car against coach.

3.7 million passengers and a new web address

In 2025 the airport handled 3,698,900 passengers, 14.09 per cent more than the year before. Its airline page lists Ryanair, Wizz Air, SunExpress, Freebird and Aegean Airlines alongside smaller charter operators. According to the airport’s annual review, Tirana and Palma de Mallorca were among the busiest destinations, with more than 100,000 passengers each on routes including Pristina, Belgrade, Sofia and London Stansted. The operator says its Eastern European routes are used above all by commuting workers and by people visiting friends and family.

Type the old address allgaeu-airport.de today and you are redirected to memmingen-airport.de; the operator now presents itself as Flughafen Memmingen GmbH. That matters for booking. The official reservation system runs at booking-memmingen-airport.de, and alongside the airport’s own car parks it lists three partner products off the airport grounds.

Five car parks, measured in walking minutes

The booking system gives a walking time and distance for each car park, which is more useful than any map:

• P1 is directly in front of the terminal: 50 metres, one minute. The Kiss & Fly zone is here too.
• P2 and P3 are each 300 metres away, four minutes on foot. P3 is flagged in the system as newly opened.
• P5, sold as “Urlauberparken” (holiday parking), is 500 metres away on the terminal approach road, six minutes.
• P4 is the furthest on site at 600 metres and seven minutes – and, according to its description, reserved for online customers. The operator calls it its bestseller and warns that it is regularly fully booked.

Three further products are booked through the airport but lie outside its grounds. Berger’s Parking at the airport hotel is 950 metres away, a twelve-minute walk, and explicitly has no shuttle. The Parkgarage FMM (covered, inside a hall) and Budget Parken FMM (the open-air area beside it) share a site at Am Schießstand 1 in Holzgünz, five kilometres from the terminal. The shuttle is run by Services Energy Allgäu25 GmbH with electric buses; the ride takes about eight minutes, two passengers are included in the parking price, and each additional person pays €10 per single trip.

One detail decides whether these shuttle sites suit you, and it sits in the operator’s FAQ: the bus runs daily from 04:00 to 19:30 towards the airport and from 04:15 to 19:45 back. On those stated hours, a passenger landing at half past ten at night has no shuttle to the car. That is not small print; it is the main selection criterion.

What a week costs (as of 2026)

The airport publishes no fixed price list for its long-stay car parks. Its FAQ says so plainly: drive-up prices are posted at each entrance and vary with occupancy. The figures below are ones I retrieved from the official booking system on 25 September 2026, each for an arrival on Monday 12 October 2026 at 08:00. They are snapshots, not a tariff sheet.

Duration	P1	P2	P3	P4	P5	Berger’s	Parkgarage FMM	Budget FMM
1 day	€84	€74	€67	–	€63	€56	€69	–
3 days	€117	€84	€74	€75	€70	€73	€69	€60
7 days	€238	€125	€111	€109	€119	€110	€94	€82
14 days	€331	€186	€164	€168	€173	€162	€147	€134

A dash means the product was not offered for that search. Three things stand out. First, a single day at the terminal costs between €63 and €84, and in my searches twelve hours cost exactly the same as twenty-four – Memmingen is an expensive place for a day trip. Second, for a week P2 to P5 sit only €16 apart, so proximity costs little extra as long as you avoid P1, which charges more than twice the P4 rate. Third, Budget Parken in Holzgünz is the cheapest option from three days upwards, provided the shuttle timetable fits your flights.

Holiday dates push prices up. For P2 to P4 the increase was 14 to 16 per cent; P5 barely moved, and P1 was actually slightly cheaper over Christmas than in October. Seven days from 23 December came to €128 in P3, €126 in P4 and €88 at Budget Parken; fourteen days over New Year to €183 in both P3 and P4. Next to many prices the system shows a higher, struck-through “otherwise” figure – €121 rather than €111 for P3 in October, for instance. It does not explain how that reference price is derived.

Booking ahead or turning up

Parking without a reservation is possible, but the airport explicitly recommends booking ahead: passenger numbers and car traffic have grown sharply, it says, and availability is severely limited during school holidays. Online bookings can be made from 365 days up to three hours before arrival, come with a guaranteed space and can be cancelled free of charge up to 24 hours beforehand. Entry and exit then work by number-plate recognition. Bookings are online only; according to the system’s own FAQ, requests by phone or email are not processed.

If you arrive unbooked and find everything full, do not be tempted to park in the surrounding villages. The airport warns on its parking page that Memmingerberg, Trunkelsberg and Ungerhausen carry out strict checks and tow illegally parked vehicles, pointing to a joint notice from the police and the local administrative association.

Dropping off, picking up, charging

The Kiss & Fly zone on P1 is free for ten minutes, but only once a day. After that the short-stay tariff applies: €5 for 10 to 30 minutes, €10 up to an hour, €15 up to two hours, and €10 for every further hour or part of one. Collecting someone from a delayed flight can therefore cost €15 for a two-hour wait.

Travellers holding a German severe-disability card marked aG, Bl or H receive 50 per cent off the regular parking tariff according to the airport (as of May 2025), in every car park and for any duration. The discount is granted only when paying at the Airport Service Center, however, and cannot be applied retrospectively to an online booking – so anyone who wants it should drive in without a reservation. Motorcycles have marked bays on P1 and pay at the information desk.

On the terminal approach road there are two high-voltage rapid-charging stations, each with a total output of 215 kW; no parking fee applies while a car is actively charging there. For the length of a trip, though, the car has to go into a regular car park. The Holzgünz shuttle site offers a full charge while you are away for a flat €30.

Independent operators outside the airport system

Beyond the partner products there are private park-and-shuttle firms. One is FMM-Parking at Bgm.-Merk-Straße 5, also in Holzgünz, which states an eight-minute shuttle ride to the terminal on a fenced, lit site with video surveillance. For the return you phone once you have your luggage. Its FAQ carries an important caveat: outside school holidays you usually keep your key, but during holidays and at busy times parking is only possible with a key handover. What handing over the key means in legal terms is covered in our piece on valet parking liability. The firm publishes prices only through its booking calculator.

Worked example: a week from Munich

A couple from Munich fly out for seven days in October. The Allgäu Airport Express runs up to fifteen times a day from Seidlstraße by the main station to the front of the terminal; the current timetable shows journeys of 70 to 80 minutes, with the first coach leaving Munich at 03:00 and arriving at 04:10. The standard online fare is €16.99, €23 cash to the driver, and early-bird tickets start at €9.90. Return for two comes to €67.96 online or €92 in cash. Flibco serves the same route from Munich’s main station with 15 departures a day, from €6.99 according to the airport.

Against that, the car costs €109 in P4 or €82 at Budget Parken, plus roughly 236 kilometres of driving there and back. For the couple, the coach wins comfortably, not least because Seidlstraße is easy to reach on public transport. If a 03:00 start leaves a taxi as the only way to the station, it is worth factoring in what a Munich taxi actually charges.

A family with two children aged three to twelve pays €51.98 each way online on the coach, €103.96 in total. P4 costs €109 – very nearly level – and Budget Parken becomes dearer than P4 once two extra shuttle passengers are added (four single trips at €10). Here the deciding factors are luggage and the clock rather than price. In the timetable week from 21 September, the last coach to Munich left between 21:45 and 22:45 depending on the day. With two suitcases each and a flight landing at 23:00, everything points to P4 or P5, both walkable and free of any shuttle timetable.

The car wins outright for anyone living west of Munich. Kempten is 47 kilometres away, Ulm 61 and Augsburg 93, as the distance and taxi table for FMM shows. For them Memmingen is simply the nearest airport, and the parking space is the predictable part of the trip.

Worth checking before you leave

If you are flying Ryanair, check before setting off whether the wheelie case fits the cabin allowance; Ryanair’s hand-luggage rules are quick to look up. The luggage question often decides whether the coach is a realistic option at all.

How prices compare at Munich’s main airport is set out in our guide to parking at Munich Airport. The closest structural match is Frankfurt-Hahn: another low-cost airport far from its namesake, but with noticeably lower tariffs. And in the west, parking at Weeze Airport is a third case of the same kind – there with an access charge before you have even pulled a parking ticket.

At Memmingen, then, the rule of thumb is simple. If you live in Munich and travel as a pair, take the coach and pocket the difference. If you are coming from the Allgäu or Swabia, or travelling as a family on a late return flight, book P4 or P5 early, because the airport says spaces run short in the holidays. Holzgünz pays off for longer trips, as long as the return flight lands before the last shuttle at 19:45. And P1 is for dropping people off, not for leaving the car all week.
