Car Parking FAQs

I’m going away for a week or more. Where should I park?

All of our car parks are suitable for longer stays, with Long Stay and Premium Meet & Greet car parks being our most popular. Long Stay is our best value car park, however Premium Meet & Greet is perfect if you are travelling with family or if you prefer to be closer to the terminal. If you want to make your trip even easier, why not book into our Premium Fast Track car park and benefit from Fast Track through security.

I'm only a way for a day. Which car park is best for me?

Both the Short Stay 1 and Premium Fast Track car parks are perfect for 1 day stays. They are also our closest car parks to the terminal. Premium Fast Track customers will also benefit from complimentary Security Fast Track passes, making the trip even easier.

I’m going for a weekend trip. Where should I park?

We’d suggest the Short Stay 1 Car Park. It’s right outside the airport entrance so you can get straight in the car when you get back. Ask about the Short Stay Weekender Offer when you book.
