Airport parking options

At most UK airports the options available for airport parking are:

On-site parking
On-site parking offers short-stay and long-stay parking. Short-stay is close to the airport terminal and is ideally suited for passenger drop-off and pick-up. Parking is charged at an hourly rate for the first day of parking and daily rates thereafter. The daily rate is significantly more expensive than onsite, long-stay parking.

On-site long-term parking is for travellers who require parking for an extended period. Car parking fees are cheaper than the short-stay car parks, but generally more expensive than the off-site car parks.

Off-site parking
With off-site airport parking passengers drive to an off-site car park, park their car and catch a shuttle bus to the airport terminal.

Off-site car parks run shuttle buses to and from the airport, so on your return from holiday you’ll need to catch a shuttle bus back to your off-site car park. Parking fees are generally lower for off-site parking spaces.

Meet and greet valet parking
Meet and greet parking, or valet parking, is parking where you don’t have to park your own car. You drive right up to the airport terminal, are met by a meet and greet driver who then parks your car for you leaving you free to walk straight into the airport terminal. It is brought back to you at the airport terminal when you arrive home from your holiday.
