Airport Parking FAQ
Everything you need to know about booking, saving money, and understanding airport parking options.
It is highly recommended to book airport parking at least 4 to 8 weeks in advance. Pre-booking can save you up to 60% compared to drive-up rates, and it guarantees you a space during peak travel seasons like school holidays and bank weekends.
Short-stay parking is located closest to the terminal, making it ideal for trips lasting a few hours to a couple of days, but it is expensive for longer periods. Long-stay parking is located further away but is significantly cheaper per day, making it the best choice for week-long holidays. Most long-stay car parks provide a free, frequent shuttle bus to the terminal.
Meet & Greet (or Valet) parking allows you to drive directly to the terminal drop-off point, where a professional driver meets you, takes your car, and parks it securely in a compound. Upon your return, the car is brought back to the terminal for you. It offers the ultimate convenience at a premium price.
Reputable pre-booking platforms include all taxes and fees in the quoted price. However, drive-up rates may have additional charges, and overstaying your booked time will incur penalty rates. Always check the terms and conditions regarding cancellations, amendments, and height restrictions for larger vehicles.
