Cardiff Airport Official Express Park

Just so easy and straightforward. Helpful staff at Cardiff airport.

Mrs Evans, 25 Sep, 2022 (5 out of 5)

Car Park 2

I would book parking in Cardiff again but never the lounge too busy and not maned enough

Mr Barnes, 25 Sep, 2022 (4 out of 5)

Cardiff Airport Official Express Park

Meet and greet Cardiff needs better signposting - easy to get in wrong lane. Rest of parking process straightforward and quick including return.

Mr Grinnell, 20 Sep, 2022 (5 out of 5)

Car Park 2

I was booked into Cardiff Wales airport parking. On arrival the carparks had moved since I was last there and it appeared that my car couldn't enter. I tried contacting holiday extras but could only do so via live chat. As time was ticking live chat asked me for security details (understandably) including my booking reference which I couldn't access while on live chat. I eventually received help from airport staff and everything went well thereafter. So, booking, amending and price with Holiday Extras was easy and a good experience but I feel the comunication process could be improved

Mr Richards, 20 Sep, 2022 (4.5 out of 5)

Cardiff Airport Official Express Park

Meet and greet was excellent at Cardiff Airport. Would definitely book again and recommend.

Top Tip: The gate rate price for parking at Cardiff Airport can be very expensive, sometimes as much as £41.50 per day. Always pre-book to get cheap Cardiff Airport parking, and guarantee your space. The earlier you book, the cheaper the price of parking is. Look out for our special lower-rate packages which cannot be amended or refunded - due to being less flexible than our regular Cardiff Airport products, they invariably work out cheaper.

Cardiff Airport parking upgrades

We have some superb-value options for travellers flying from Cardiff Airport. If you have a flight time that demands you drive at an unpleasant hour, consider one of our Cardiff Airport hotels options.

Start your
holiday early

Cardiff Airport hotel stay plus 1 week parking from just £96.43.
