How much 10, 12 and 15 days costs at each airport

For comparison, 15 days at the official Guarulhos parking lot costs R$ 480,00 in the Standard area (Terminals 1 and 2), in the 11 to 17-day bracket, according to the GRU Airport price list checked on 05/11/2026. At the official Viracopos parking lot, the advance booking rate is R$ 25,00 per day (22/10/2026), making it R$ 375,00 for 15 days.

The year-end travel window

Travelers leaving between December 23 and 27 and returning in early January are away for 10 to 15 days. Rates are tiered: up to 12 days, the rate is charged per day; from 13 to 17 days, a fixed price applies to the entire tier; from 18 to 30 days, another fixed price applies.

In practice, leaving on December 23 and returning on January 6 or 7 costs the same total, because both stays fall within the same rate tier.

The same applies in reverse: if your return is delayed but still falls within the same rate bracket, the total stays the same. Extra hours beyond that bracket are charged separately when you leave, at the walk-in rate, according to each parking provider's policy.

Covered parking and travel time to the terminal

At the Guarulhos and Viracopos locations, the free 24-hour shuttle takes about 7 minutes to reach the terminal, according to the operator, not including the wait. In Confins, the shuttle takes about 15 minutes. In Congonhas, the location is 600 m from the airport, on Rua Vieira de Morais, and does not offer a shuttle: you walk to the terminal. In December, when rain and strong sunshine can occur on the same day, covered parking is worth considering.

Book in advance

The year-end holiday period is peak season at the airport, with full flights and higher demand for parking. Spaces sold through Xpark are limited, and availability is checked for your dates before payment. Compare totals on the pricing pages for Guarulhos, Viracopos, Confins e Congonhas, and see the listings on each airport's page.
