Drivers can pay for car parking upon arrival. The cost per day is EUR €8 for a car, and EUR €16.00 for a truck or minibus. Motorbike parking is typically charged at a more affordable rate than car parking, however an exact price is not currently advertised.
Dedicated disabled-accessible parking spaces are located in section A of car park P10 – this is accessed via Talstrasse and Mercedesstrasse, on the arena's south-west side. They are clearly marked as being for disabled visitors. If you present proof of disability documentation you can park for free at most events.
If you are travelling by car from quite far away, the park & ride facilities are recommended – simply park your car at a station convenient to you, and take the regular rail service to the Arena. See the the Train section for more information.
