What does gate rate mean?
The gate rate is the daily price charged at a car park if you were to turn up and pay without pre-booking. The gate rate at some car parks can be very expensive, so it's always best to pre-book to get a good deal.

Can I keep my car keys?
It all comes down to the type of parking you book. With a Meet and Greet service, you hand your keys to a professional driver, who will park your car for you, allowing you to walk straight to check-in. Some Park and Ride options, such as Airparks Drop & Go, also require you to leave your keys so staff can take care of the parking, meaning there’s no need to drive around searching for a space and you can make your way to the airport sooner.
Other services, including Airparks Self Park and Airparks Express allow you to park your car yourself and keep your keys with you while you travel - giving you added reassurance that your vehicle will remain exactly where you left it until you return.
What is Meet and Greet parking at Birmingham airport?
Meet and Greet parking is where your car is collected from you outside the terminal, parked in a secured car park by a chauffeur, and brought back to the terminal when you return from your holiday. Meet and Greet parking is great if you're travelling with children, have lots of luggage or are disabled. Maple Parking Meet and Greet parking and Airparks Meet and Greet parking are both popular M&G services at Birmingham airport.
What happens if I go over my pre-paid parking period at Birmingham airport?
When you return to your car and leave the car park, you will normally be charged for the extra hours or days you've overrun. The extra payment will be charged at the car park's normal rate.
How do I obtain a receipt for my booking?
