DUS parking (OT? sorry...)
Question to those of you who have experience with parking a car at DUS.
I've heard stories about cars being broken into/damaged while parked at DUS. Do you feel this is a serious risk? Are any of the parking lots more or less secure than others?
Thanks!

I've not heard about break-ins at DUS official parking lots. But of course parking at the covered parking right at the terminal is more secure than parking at an outside lot with infrequent movements. Maybe "park, sleep&fly" with one of the hotels near the airport could be a good option to think of?

Maritim Hotel parking
I have good experience with parking in the Maritim hotel underground car park, which is a three minute walk from the terminal. You cannot book directly with the hotel (or only at a very high price) but a couple of websites do offer the option to park there, like this one: http://www.hotels-and-parking-at-the...iefgarage.html
It is cheaper than the other on airport options, and a little more expensive than the shuttle service parking options - but I like that I can park myself, the car is under a roof, and I do not have to wait for a shuttle after a night flight from the US.
You can combine it with a night in the hotel. I believe the rate then is € 135 for the hotel + € 60 for maximum 8 days of parking (but I may be wrong).

For how long?
There's a pretty decent parking lot at the main airport railway station (Q-Park) which I used in the past.
Never had problems with scratches, damages, etc. at DUS.

You have movable walkways at the railway station as also at the terminal. And the walking distance/additional travel time is max 15 mins.
The prices for the q-park facility are approx 1/3 of the Terminal parking lots.
It depends how you travel - in the time I worked out of Duesseldorf, I mostly used T2 for business purposes (which was EUR 22 per day), for private trips I used q-Park (EUR 7 per day plus short trip ticket for monorail).
