Parking at Faro airport for 2.8m van

[AlanandMayya]

I see from their website that the public car parks at Faro airport are limited to 2.7m high. First off, anyone know if you could in fact squeeze a 2.8m high one in? I mean, anyone whose actually done it recently? Thought not. So anyone know where I could park my 2.8m Transit conversion to pick up my daughter? It's the only car I've got. If I get the damn thing wedged under a concrete beam it will just reinforce all Mayya's prejudices about my driving ability. I ask this because, you know when you go through Rouen there's this tunnel limited to, what is it it, 2.5 or 2.6m? Well, we've been through it. OK, some scraping noises, but no actual damage. We really are 2.780 m high. Solar panels. Thanks, Alan.

I wouldn’t risk the potential damage. Too much height on top with skylights solar etc.

You could let half the air out of the tyres.......

Could she not get a short taxi ride out the airport (no punn intended)

Hi, our van is a similar height and we have given up trying to park for a pick up.
It's still easy to find very short term parking near the airport entrance, and a taxi will make life easy! Good luck

For faro try the camper stop. It’s 10min walk from airport, has an amazing restaurant at the front & charged us last time 5e a day unoccupied for our 7m van. Nice guy too.
It’s gated & occupied as well.

To answer my own question: I just drove into the first car park, no barriers. Cost me 4 euros for an hour. So contrary to what the website says, no drama. Of course it could all change tomorrow...

But thanks for the advice. I didn't want an offsite park because her luggage was heavy. Chainsaw. Don't ask.
