Parking at Ålesund Airport Vigra
Ålesund Airport Vigra has ticketless parking with automatic number-plate recognition, run by OnePark for Avinor. The price range is wide: the long-term lot P7 costs 109 kr per 24 hrs and 499 kr for the first week, while short-term P4 right in front of the terminal has a daily cap of 600 kr. The first 10 minutes are free in all zones. Booking ahead on avinor.no pays off, especially in the holidays.
Parking overview
About 1,900 spaces, all outdoors, run by OnePark for Avinor with automatic camera recognition (Autopay) and no ticket. P2 and short-term P4 are right in front of the terminal building (P4 is angled parking with the airport's highest drop-in rate), P3 is a dedicated EV area with its own entrance and 24 charging spaces, and P5, P6 and P7 south of the terminal are the long-term areas – P7 is furthest away and clearly cheapest.

Private parking options
Vigra is served by the airport's own parking areas. P2, P5, P6 and P7 can be pre-booked on avinor.no at a lower price than ordinary drop-in; booking prices are dynamic. P7 is the airport's cheapest long-term area.
Pick-up and drop-off
There is no separately marked Kiss & Fly, but free drive-through for up to 10 minutes in all zones – if you exit within 10 minutes, you pay nothing. For short stops, use short-term P4 right in front of the terminal. If you do not pay via Autopay or the machine, an invoice arrives with a 59 kr fee plus a 10 kr invoice fee.
EV charging
P3 is a dedicated EV area with its own entrance and 24 charging spaces. Note that P3 has its own price structure: 399 kr per 24 hrs – more expensive than the long-term areas P5–P7. EV drivers going away for a long time therefore often park cheaply on P6/P7 and charge elsewhere.
Tips and pitfalls from travellers
- A week or more: P7 is by far the cheapest – 109 kr per 24 hrs and 499 kr for the first week. P5 and P6 are good alternatives a bit closer.
- EV on a long trip: parking in P3 (399 kr per 24 hrs) is more expensive than P6/P7 – many park cheaply in long-term and charge elsewhere instead.
- Short stop: stay under 10 minutes and it is free in all zones. Need more time? P2 is far cheaper than short-term P4.
- Book ahead on avinor.no in the holidays – lower price and a guaranteed space.
Common pitfalls
EasyPark does not work here
The EasyPark app cannot be used at Avinor airports. Pay via Autopay or at the machine – otherwise you end up with an invoice carrying a 59 kr fee plus a 10 kr invoice fee.
Short-term P4 is the most expensive
P4 in front of the terminal has a daily cap of 600 kr – the airport's highest rate. Do not leave the car there overnight or for a week.
The EV area P3 has its own rate
P3 costs 399 kr per 24 hrs and is substantially more expensive than the long-term areas P5–P7. Staying long on a charging space gets expensive and blocks a charger for others.
The 10-minute limit
Free drive-through is 10 minutes. Beyond that, the ordinary rate runs from the time of entry – the plate recognition registers everything automatically.
Summary
Ålesund Airport Vigra has about 1,900 outdoor spaces run by OnePark. P7 is cheapest (109 kr per 24 hrs, 499 kr for the first week), P5/P6 sit just above, while P2 at the terminal has a daily cap of 329 kr and short-term P4 600 kr. P3 is a dedicated EV area with 24 charging spaces and its own rate. Free drive-through is 10 minutes, EasyPark does not work, and pre-booking on avinor.no gives the lowest price.
