There are no height restrictions at our car parks and motorcycle parking is available in all our car parks at the normal tariffs. Parking facilities are regularly patrolled for extra security.
Free Drop Off
Follow the green directional signs to locate our Free Drop Off area in one of our Short Stay Car parks. Free parking is available here for up to 15 minutes and it is a 5 minute walk from the terminal building. Beyond this time, standard car parking charges apply. To see the Drop Off location, please view this simplified airport map. No return within one hour.
Premium & Accessible Parking
Our premium car park, located in front of the terminal building provides easy access to the terminal building with short and long stay available. Parking charges apply as per our tariffs for 2025 which you can view here. We recommend pre-booking for long stays in this zone.
Blur Badge holiders or passengers using our Special Assistance service are able to park in this area for up to 20 minutes FREE. Special assistance points are available in this car park which give you direct access to our information desk team.
Short Stay Parking
For stays of 48 hours or less, we recommend using our short stay car parks particularly if you are not booking your parking in advance, as this will be the most cost effective option. Our short stay car parks are located near to the terminal building. Visit our online booking service for more information.
Long Stay Parking
Our long stay car park is located beyond the short stay zones and is approximately 10 minutes walk from the terminal building. We recommend this option for those who are parking for over 48 hours, although cheaper rates may be available within the short stay car park if booking parking in advance. We recommend that long stay parking is booked before you arrive at the airport. Bookings can be made up to 12 months in advance of your travels. Visit our online booking service for more information.
Payment Options
We recommend to all customers that parking is pre-booked. You can book parking at our airport up to 12 months in advance of your travel. It is important to note that pre-booking is not available within 12 hours of your arrival at the airport.
For the best value, we recommend our customers book short stay parking for stays of under 48 hours. Long stay parking is normally more cost effective beyond 48 hours when booked in advance.
For online booking we accept payments via Visa and Mastercard. There are no card fees applicable and all payment details are securely managed. We cannot accept American Express.
Customers who have not pre-booked their car park stay can use our pay-on-foot machines. These are located outside the terminal building. There is one dedicated cash and card payment machine and this is located immediately outside the terminal buildng. It is possible to pay by debit or credit card at the exit barriers and other pay-on-foot machines.
Overstay charges are based on the standard parking rate.

How our car parking barrier system works
On arrival at the airport at your selected car park, approach the barrier and the camera will record your car registration which takes a few seconds. The barrier will then automatically raise and you can enter the car park.
To exit, if you have not booked and paid for your parking online, you will need to pay at the pay station or at the exit barrier to enable you to leave the car park.
If you have booked and paid for your parking online, simply follow the instructions on your confirmation email, making sure that you enter the correct car park and the barrier will raise for entry and exit automatically.
Should you need any assistance, press the buzzer at the barrier and this will connect you with a member of the team.
Coach & Minibus Parking
Parking for coach services can be accessed via our restricted access lane which is located at the front of the terminal building. Parking is limited to under two hours and cost per coach is £10. Payment for coach parking can be made in advance by contacting our information desk team on 01667 464000. Payments can also be made onsite if necessary. Minibuses are not permitted to use the restricted access lane.
Minibuses can use any of our car parks with charges applicable.
