They are secured by CCTV, 24-hour patrols, and exit & entry barriers. To view all parking options for all three terminals, hit the button below.

Cheap Parking Manchester Terminal 1

The Mid-stay T1 & T3, and the Meet & Greet T1 are the cheapest options specific to Terminal 1. The Mid-Stay car park is only a 3-5 minute walk to the terminal, and you can keep hold of your keys. The Meet & Greet package means you can drop-off your car at Terminal 1 and let somebody else park for you! Simply hand your keys to the staff at reception, and when you return, your car will be brought to the same place you dropped it off.

For convenience and proximity for a great price, choose the Terminal 2 Meet & Greet package. You simply need to drop-off your car and follow the short footpath to the terminal, while a professional driver parks your vehicle for you. The Multi-Storey is also extremely close to the terminal, and benefits from an undercover path to the airport. Both of these car parks have been awarded the 'Park Mark' for their excellent security features.

Guide to Manchester Airport Parking Pricing

1. Park and Ride vs Meet and Greet: Which is cheaper?

If you're searching for the lowest price, Park and Ride is usually the cheapest option.

Park and Ride car parks are typically located a short distance from Manchester Airport terminals, which allows providers to keep operating costs lower than the ultra-convenient Meet & Greet handover areas.

This price saving is great, particularly when you book in advance. Here's how the main parking options compare:

Holiday Extras tip: Visit our compare Meet & Greet vs Park & Ride at Manchester page for a full breakdown of which option suits your trip best. Booking through a comparison site like Holiday Extras allows you to compare the best deals and prices for your next trip.

2. Why booking early is important

The earlier you book, the better the price - it's that simple!

Why it works this way

Manchester airport parking works like flights and hotels. When lots of spaces are available, prices stay low. As availability drops, prices rise. That means:

• Booking weeks in advance = best prices
• Booking last minute = higher prices
• Turning up and paying on the day = most expensive option

School holidays and peak travel periods can cause prices to increase quickly, so early booking is especially important during busy times.

3. Official vs third-party parking: which is usually cheaper?

For the same parking type, third-party options at Manchester Airport are usually cheaper.

Why prices vary

Official Manchester Airport car parks operate directly on the airport. Many trusted third-party providers work just outside the airport boundary, allowing them to offer more competitive prices without compromising on convenience, security or service.

4. Meet & Greet isn't always the most expensive option

You may be surprised to hear, but Meet and Greet parking at Manchester Airport can be far more affordable than you think.

Why this matters

Although you drop your car close to the terminal, vehicles are usually stored off-site. This allows providers to offer flexible pricing, and during quieter periods Meet & Greet prices can sit surprisingly close to Park & Ride, depending on when you book and can often be worth the extra expense, just for the added convenience.

5. What affects your Manchester airport parking price

Several factors influence how much you'll pay for your Manchester airport parking.

• Travel dates & demand: Understandably, peak periods usually cost more due to higher demand.
• Location: The closer you park to the terminal, the more expensive the product.
• Keys: Keeping your keys often adds a small premium.
• Transfers: Walkable or short shuttle routes typically cost more due to the added convenience.
• Extras: EV charging, valet services and add-ons can affect the overall cost.

This is compared to booking same day online, or purchasing at the car park.
