Security

The car park is manned 24 hours a day and has:

• Fencing
• CCTV
• Floodlighting
• Security barriers

The small print

Your car will be parked in a secured compound, up to 6 miles from the airport.

You car will need to fit under the 1.8m entry barrier and fit in a standard-size parking bay (2.4m x 4.8m). If your vehicle is taller than 1.8m let the car park know when you call and they will meet you in an alternative area outside the car park.

ACE can't take vehicles with 8 or more seats, or Aston Martins, Ferraris, Rolls Royces, Bentleys, and Maseratis.

Early or late? The car park offers a grace period up to midnight at their discretion. Any longer than this and you'll be charged the car park's standard rate of £10 per day. This is subject to change.

Don't forget to print your booking confirmation and take it with you as the car park will need to see this when you arrive.

Getting to and from airport

Arriving at the airport

Head to the Sofitel car park. The barrier should open automatically if you've given your vehicle details. Follow signs for "meet & greet operators".

You'll need to give them your booking confirmation and car keys, as well as your return flight information.
From there, it's a 2-5 minute walk to the terminal while a professional driver parks your car for you in their secured car park.

Returning to the airport

Collect your luggage and meet your driver.

You'll be given some documentation to sign and asked to check over your car again, then your keys will be handed back to you.
