Private parking options
Kirkenes Airport is served by the airport's own parking areas via OnePark; pre-booking on avinor.no gives the lowest price. Locally it is known that some park free at Vestleiren to avoid the charge – it is informal, unsupervised, and carries a risk of a fine or towing. P2 at 135 kr per 24 hrs is the safe budget choice.
Pick-up and drop-off
There is free drive-through for up to 10 minutes for dropping off and picking up – exit within that and you are not charged. P1 is right by the terminal for short stops. Pay in the Autopay app, at the machine or at autopay.io within 48 hours; an invoice (Pay Later) costs 59 kr plus a 10 kr invoice fee, and foreign plates cannot be invoiced.
EV charging
An EV can of course sit on an ordinary P1/P2 space at the normal rate while you travel. But do not leave it on a charging space during your holiday: the charging spaces are for cars actually charging, and a per-hour connection fee discourages long-term blocking. Charging is Type 2 with your own cable via Autopay Park & Charge – numbers and power are not published, check the signs.
Tips and pitfalls from travellers
- Long-term: P2 at 135 kr per 24 hrs and 599 kr/week is nearly half the price of P1 – against a walk of about 500 metres.
- EV on holiday: park on an ordinary space, not a charging space – the per-hour connection fee makes long-term blocking expensive.
- Disabled spaces are at P1 (closest) – bring a valid permit and display it in the windscreen.
- Pre-book on avinor.no in busy periods – capacity is limited.
Common pitfalls
«Free» at Vestleiren is no guarantee
Some leave the car at Vestleiren to avoid the charge. It is informal and unsupervised – you risk a fine or towing. P2 costs 135 kr per 24 hrs and is the safe alternative.
Limited capacity
Kirkenes has only two parking areas and a limited number of spaces – in busy periods it can fill up. Consider pre-booking.
Do not park the EV on a charging space
The charging spaces are for cars actually charging, and the per-hour connection fee makes staying expensive. Use an ordinary space when away for long.
The invoice fees
Pay within 48 hours in the app or at autopay.io – an invoice costs 59 kr plus a 10 kr fee, and foreign plates cannot be invoiced at all.
Summary
Kirkenes Airport Høybuktmoen has two parking areas run by OnePark: P1 (305 spaces, right by the terminal, 249 kr per 24 hrs, with four disabled spaces) and low-cost P2 about 500 metres away (135 kr per 24 hrs, 599 kr for up to eight days, then 85 kr per 24 hrs and capped at 359 kr per started week). Free drive-through is 10 minutes, and EVs should sit on an ordinary space – not a charging space – while you travel. Pre-book on avinor.no for the best price.
