Frequently asked questions
Is it cheaper to book airport parking in advance?
Booking ahead usually gives you access to lower prices and a wider choice of parking options, particularly during school holidays and peak travel periods.
What parking options can I choose from?
Most UK airports offer Meet & Greet, Park & Ride, official airport parking, long stay and short stay parking.
Is my car kept in a secure car park?
Most parking providers use secure facilities with features such as CCTV, controlled access and regular security patrols.
How early should I arrive?
It's a good idea to arrive at the car park at least 30 minutes before you plan to check in, allowing extra time for transfers where required.
What's the difference between long stay and short stay parking?
Long stay parking is designed for holidays and longer trips, while short stay parking is better suited to quick visits or picking up and dropping off passengers.

Many providers allow changes before your travel date, although this depends on the terms of your booking.
Do Park & Ride services include transfers?
