Free Parking Birmingham Airport Drop Off

Birmingham airport offers FREE parking for 20 minutes at the Drop Off area.

🚶 It's a 5-10 minute walk from the terminal, via a covered walkway. There's also a regular, wheelchair-friendly free shuttle bus that runs between the car park and terminal.

Free Parking near Birmingham Airport

There are a couple of villages that have excellent train links directly into Birmingham International (which is connected to Birmingham airport via the FREE 'Air-Rail Link' system), making them convenient places to find FREE, short-stay parking. We've narrowed down 2 car parks in 2 nearby villages - Hampton in Arden and Marston Green - that we think could be worth considering if you think you might need longer than Birmingham airport's 20 minute free drop off parking. Please note: all car park information is correct at time of writing but subject to change.

As you can see, if you think you might need longer than 20 minutes, it can work out cheaper to opt for an off-airport car park. For comparison, the Drop Off car park charges £20 for up to 50 minutes. So even when you factor in the train fare, you can still make a significant saving and enjoy a fast and fuss-free transfer.

Please keep in mind that the car parks at Marston Green and Hampton in Arden don't have the same kind of capacity as the Birmingham airport car parks, so we'd always recommend getting there as early as you can to secure a space, especially during peak hours. If you're not able to find a space in either of these alternatives, the cheapest on-airport car park is Car Park 7 (which has over 250 spaces). It's a 10-minute shuttle bus ride away from the airport and costs just £5.00 for 3 hours.

Birmingham Airport Free Parking - Residential Areas ⚠

On your search to find free parking near Birmingham airport, you might have considered trying to find a space on residential roads nearby. Our advice would be to avoid this option, especially if you're going out of the country and looking for long stay parking. With parking restrictions to consider, potential disgruntled local residents and lack of security, residential parking often isn't as straightforward or free as it might initially seem. With this type of parking your car is at a greater risk of damage, since your vehicle isn't protected by Park Mark approved security features like it would be in an official car park. Plus, you're more likely to risk coming back to a pesky Penalty Charge Notice (PCN), if you're unaware or misinterpret the local on-street parking rules.

Instead, why not pre-book with Holiday Extras and enjoy parking that's easier, safer and still wallet-friendly. For the cheapest car park, be sure to keep an eye out for Airparks Drop and Go when you make a search. At Holiday Extras you can save up to 60% vs the turn-up prices, and not only that, you'll be guaranteeing yourself a space and have peace of mind that your car is being protected by top notch security features. And remember, you can amend or cancel your booking for FREE in just a couple of clicks, so even if your travel plans change, you'll never be out of pocket.
