Pick-up & drop-off

The traffic flow at the terminal is regulated by automated barriers in front of and behind the departure drive-up area. Your vehicle can pass through the zone free of charge and take passengers to the terminal at the departure level. Extended stopping in this area, however, incurs a charge.

You can stay up to 7 minutes twice per calender day free of charge on the departure level. The time is counted from the moment of entry to exit. If you need more than 7 minutes, a fee of 5 Euros for each additional 5 minutes is charged. The maximum stopping time is 30 minutes.

Arrivals level

The Arrivals level is an absolute no-parking zone.

Save time with automatic license plate recognition

When entering and leaving the vehicle registration is detected by cameras. If the free time in the Departure level is not exceeded, the barriers open automatically at the exit without the driver having to insert his ticket. Individual data is deleted from the systems after 24 hours.

Parking for Pick-up & drop-off 

For drivers who want to take their time time to accompany their passengers to the terminal, Düsseldorf Airport recommends using the short-term parking lots P11 and P12 located right behind the drive-through area of the departure level, or car parks P1, P2 and P3 which are close to the terminal. The pick-up and drop-off ticket is suitable for short stays. It offers 90 minutes of parking in P3 for just 5 Euro.

Düsseldorf Airport recommends that you don’t go back in but drive directly to the short-term parking lot P11 (located right behind the exit of the departure level).
No, you don’t have that option. An absolute no-stopping rule is in effect on the arrivals level. The bright first floor of the P3 parking garage with its convenient parking spaces or the P12 short-term parking lot are ideal for such cases.

The best option for those who are mobility-impaired is using one of the conveniently located and barrier-free car parks or short-term parking lots.

Please note: For mobility-impaired persons with the blue EU ID card, our car parks are free of charge, but our short-term parking lots are not.

Severely disabled people, who have the blue European Parking Pass issued by the Road Traffic Authority or the new orange-colored parking pass, may stop at the “Kiss & Fly” area on the departure level for up to three hours free of charge. To use this option, you must display the original ID (copies not permitted) in your car along with the parking disc showing the current time. Please register upon entry by using the call button at the automated barrier.
