Airport Parking Frequently Asked Questions

We understand that before you commit to purchasing airport parking spaces online you may have a few questions to ask. To save you calling us we have compiled some of the more frequently asked questions below. We hope these answer your questions but if you do have any other queries please don't hesitate to contact our sales centre where our sales team on 0871 360 2284 will be happy to help.

What is on-airport car parking?

This is where car parking is available within the airport perimeter. These car parks are generally closer than off airport car parks and so the transfer time to the terminals is much shorter. Normally long and short term parking is available.

What is an off-airport car park?

These car parks are situated outside the airport perimeter and are normally privately run. Although the transfer time to the airport can be a little longer the benefits are that the rates are cheaper. Security and service offered by off airport operators is very good many having achieved awards.

What is Meet & Greet Parking?

This is where you are able to drive straight to the airport terminal where you and your car will be met by a chauffeur. The chauffeur will then take your car to a secure off-airport car park. On your return a chauffeur will have your car waiting for you outside the terminal. There is a small supplement for this service.

What does Gate price mean?

Gate price is the price when you just turn up to park without pre booking. This can be between 10-45% higher then our pre booked prices.

Why is a week calculated as 8 days and two weeks calculated as 15 days?

One day is calculated as a whole or part of day. A Saturday to Saturday trip is calculated as 8 whole days. Hence a two week trip would be 15 days inclusive although we are intoducing a time of your arrival and departure to give you an even more cost effective option.

How Secure are the Car Parks?

Both on and off airport car parks are normally accredited with AA secure car park awards issued by the Police. Most car parks have a combination of security patrols, high level fencing, barriers and CCTV.

Once I've booked are there directions to find the car park?

Yes - full directions are given on the booking confirmation which will be emailed or posted to you immediately following your booking, depending on the booking method you have chosen, online or by phone.

If I book online can I still get my confirmation of booking by post?

Yes - This option is available on the page where you enter your payment details, just click on the box and we will post it to you.

Can I book at short notice?

If you do not have access to a printer, simply make a note of your booking reference and quote it on your arrival. So subject to availability you can book on the actual day.
