Parking at Molde Airport Årø
Molde Airport Årø has ticketless parking with automatic number-plate recognition, run by OnePark (Autopay) for Avinor. The big saving lies in choosing the right zone: the long-term areas P2/P3 cost 749 kr for a week, against 1,995 kr at P1 right by the terminal. Also note that Kiss & Fly (P0) gives only 5 minutes free – the other zones give 10. Booking ahead on avinor.no gives the best price.

Private parking options
Årø is served by the airport's own parking areas via OnePark; pre-booking on avinor.no gives the lowest price.
Pick-up and drop-off
Quick drop-off/pick-up can be done in the left lane at P0 on the lower level by the terminal. The area is primarily for public transport and cargo, and only the first 5 minutes are free there, against 10 minutes at P1–P3. Pay within 48 hours in the Autopay app, at autopay.io or at the machine; invoicing costs a 59 kr fee plus a 10 kr invoice fee, and foreign plates cannot be invoiced.
EV charging
Avinor's Molde pages do not state whether charging spaces are available, or list their number or power. Check when booking, the signs on site, or with OnePark before relying on charging.
Tips and pitfalls from travellers
- Week-long stays: P2/P3 at 749 kr/week is a big saving against P1 at 1,995 kr – proximity to the terminal costs you over 1,200 kr a week.
- Just picking up/dropping off: P0 Kiss & Fly gives quick drop-off in the left lane right by the terminal – but only 5 minutes free.
- Need more than 5 minutes? Drive into P1–P3 instead, where free drive-through is 10 minutes.
- Pre-book on avinor.no in busy periods for a guaranteed space and usually a lower price.
Common pitfalls
P0 has a shorter free window than the rest
P0 gives only 5 minutes free, while P1–P3 give 10. Waiting for a delayed flight, the charging starts early at P0 – at the airport's highest rate.
P1 tempts, but costs for long stays
P1 has an entrance straight into the terminal and is used for both short and long stays – but the weekly price is 1,995 kr against 749 kr at P2/P3. Choose the long-term areas when you are away several days.
The invoice fees
If you do not pay within 48 hours, an invoice arrives with a 59 kr fee plus a 10 kr invoice fee. Foreign plates cannot be invoiced and must pay at the machine or in the app before leaving.
Summary
Molde Airport Årø has four parking areas: P0 on the lower level (primarily public transport and cargo, with up to 5 minutes for quick drop-off/pick-up), P1 closest (360 spaces, entrance on the 2nd floor, 1,995 kr/week) and the long-term areas P2 (180) and P3 (50) at 749 kr/week – the zone choice can save you over 1,200 kr on a week-long trip. Free drive-through at P1–P3 is 10 minutes. Pre-book on avinor.no for the best price.
