New Large Van Parking Near Faro Airport for Vans Over 6 Metres
Faro Park and Travel has introduced a new dedicated parking option for customers travelling with large vans over 6 metres in length.
Until now, vans were generally treated as a single vehicle category. However, larger vans require considerably more parking space than standard vans and passenger cars. For this reason, vehicles over 6 metres now have their own dedicated parking category and separate tariff.
The new service provides customers with a clearer and fairer way to book parking according to the actual size of their vehicle.
If your van measures more than 6 metres, you can now use our dedicated Large Van Parking Near Faro Airport service to check availability and the applicable price for your travel dates.
Why Have We Introduced a Separate Large Van Parking Category?
A standard van and a large commercial van do not require the same amount of parking space.
Longer vehicles can occupy substantially more of the parking area and may also require additional room for positioning, manoeuvring and safe access.
Using one tariff for every type of van would therefore not accurately reflect the amount of space required by different vehicles.
Faro Park and Travel now separates vans into two clear categories:
- Vans up to 6 metres – standard van parking.
- Large vans over 6 metres – dedicated large-van parking with a separate tariff.
This makes the booking process clearer and ensures customers select the parking category that corresponds to their vehicle.
Which Vehicles Should Use Large Van Parking?
The new category is intended for vans with an overall length greater than 6 metres.
This can include some:
- Large commercial vans.
- Long-wheelbase vans.
- Extra-long-wheelbase vans.
- Large passenger vans.
- Professional or specialist vans with extended body lengths.
The important factor is the overall length of the vehicle rather than simply its make or model.
If you are not sure how long your van is, check the manufacturer's specifications or your vehicle documentation before booking.
What If My Van Is 6 Metres or Less?
If your vehicle measures up to 6 metres in overall length, you do not need to use the large-van category.
You should instead book through our Van Parking Up to 6 Metres option.
Separating the two categories helps customers avoid paying for a larger parking space when their vehicle does not require one.
A Different Price for Larger Vehicles
Large vans have their own parking tariff because they require more space than ordinary cars and standard-sized vans.
Rather than publishing a single price that may not apply to every stay, customers can select their actual arrival and return dates on the large-van booking page to see the current applicable price.
This means the booking is based on both:
- The correct vehicle category.
- The actual duration of the parking period.
Customers should therefore make sure they select the appropriate vehicle size when making their reservation.
Large Van Parking Approximately 1,100 Metres from Faro Airport
Faro Park and Travel is located in Montenegro, approximately 1,100 metres from Faro Airport.
This gives travellers with larger vehicles a practical alternative to taking a large van directly into the airport parking complex.
Once the vehicle has been parked, customers can continue to Faro Airport using our complimentary airport transfer service during its normal operating hours.
Free Shuttle to Faro Airport from 04:00 to 00:00
Customers using the new large-van parking service can also use the Faro Park and Travel airport shuttle.
Complimentary transfers operate every day from 04:00 until 00:00.
This is particularly useful when travelling with luggage, as customers do not need to walk approximately 1,100 metres between the parking facility and Faro Airport.
We recommend arriving at Faro Park and Travel at least 20 minutes before the time you want to be at the airport terminal.
More information is available on our free shuttle service to Faro Airport page.
Secure Parking for Large Vans
Large commercial and professional vehicles can represent a significant investment.
Faro Park and Travel uses security measures including surveillance cameras and controlled access to help protect vehicles while customers are travelling.
This can be particularly important when a large van is being left near Faro Airport for several days, weeks or longer.
Large Vans Can Also Be Parked for Longer Periods
The new service is not limited to short holidays.
Customers who need to leave a large van while spending several weeks or months outside Portugal can also check parking availability for longer periods.
For particularly long stays, we recommend discussing the vehicle and your requirements with the Faro Park and Travel team in advance.

Can You Leave the Keys with Faro Park and Travel?
Yes. Customers can choose to leave their vehicle keys securely stored with Faro Park and Travel while they are travelling.
This can be especially practical during longer stays, as it avoids carrying the keys abroad unnecessarily.
Where appropriate and agreed in advance, authorised access to the vehicle may also make it possible to assist with certain vehicle-care requirements while the customer is away.
What About Campervans and Motorhomes?
Vehicle type is just as important as vehicle length when choosing the correct parking category.
If your vehicle is actually a camper, motorhome or caravan rather than a large commercial or passenger van, use the dedicated Caravan and Motorhome Parking option.
If you are uncertain which category your vehicle belongs to, contact Faro Park and Travel before booking and our team can help you choose the appropriate option.
