It was great and so easy to book via the app. Just rocked up in the car, collected a ticket and parked the car. Upon return to the car and exiting the barrier just lifted and let me out. How easy is that.

Mrs Walden - ★★★★★
Very easy to book online. Customer service excellent with a query I had. Very easy to find car park . Whole experience easy and as expected.
Mr Bailey - ★★★★★
Pre booked price far better than just turning up! Approach the barrier take your ticket and follow the parking directions(make a note of your zone), and get picked up at the nearest stop for Departures drop off. On your return just reverse the procedure and the barrier at the exit will read your plate and let you out...SIMPLES. Fast Track Security outbound and inbound are a godsend too.

Make a note of where you parked for when you return, then take the shuttle bus to the terminal – it's included in the price. It runs every 10 minutes, 24 hours and takes 7 minutes to get to the terminal.
When you get back, take the shuttle bus back to the car park, pick up your car and head home. The barrier will lift automatically so you can be on your way.

The small print
Early or late? The car park offers a grace period of 6 hours at their discretion. Any longer than this and you'll be charged the car park's standard rate of £45, which is subject to change.
Most standard cars (without trailers/not commercial vehicles) will be accepted at the car park as long as they fit under the 3.5m barrier and fit in a standard-size parking bay (2.4m x 4.8m).
