Parking at Munich Airport

Where is the best place to park at Munich Airport? What are the prices for parking at the airport and at private car parks in the area?
Long-term parking
Economy Parking North P51 offers the lowest prices for parking directly at the airport. You can pay per week from 49 eur when booking online on the airport website. The earlier you book the car park, the cheaper it will be. The normal price for last minute bookings is between 70 and 90 eur per week.
The parking ticket also serves as a ticket for the 635 bus or train, which takes you to the terminal every 20 minutes (the journey takes 6 minutes). It's always worth checking the airport website, as there are occasionally special offers that exceptionally drop to around 40 eur per week.
Parking directly at the terminals costs about 150 eur per week.
The cheapest parking directly at the terminals (within 5 minutes walk) costs from 70 eur in about a month's time.
Traditionally, there are many private car parks around the airport with a free shuttle service to the terminal. You can compare the various offers on the following websites parken-airport.de or parkplatzvergleich.de. The lowest price you can get for weekly parking is usually around 59 eur.
An alternative is unattended free legal parking in residential areas of surrounding villages, but public transport from these villages is often very long and complicated.
Short-term parking
Short-term parking is free for 5 minutes in the "Kiss and fly" zone directly in front of the terminals, or for 10 minutes in the "Kiss and ride" zone.

Hello,
Does anyone know of a private COVERED car park near the airport (ideally with a shuttle to the airport)? All the private ones I'm offered are outdoor uncovered.
Thanks

So official parking at P51, P44. Off season they will be priced like those near the airport. Seamless bus service to the terminal almost nonstop.
Hi, does anyone have experience with early departure and late arrival when parking at MUC - not the surrounding car parks? For 3:00 arrival and 23:50 departure in 2.5 weeks, the offer of official car parks close to the 635 bus stops (i.e. P41/P43/P44) is unavailable (these car parks can only be booked with 7:00-23:00 arrival/departure - I don't understand why), and car parks only 15-30 minutes walk from the bus stops are offered, which I would hate to do with children at night.
Anyone have any idea how to get around this? It seems unrealistic to me that such a large car park would simply be closed overnight. The system warns that arrival is possible up to 4 hours after the scheduled arrival time, but I don't really want to speculate that I won't be a few minutes late then, especially since the first connections don't leave until around 3:45.
Can anyone think of another solution?
