FREE Airport Parking


When it comes to airport parking, free options are limited to short-term use, like dropping off or picking up passengers. For longer stays, free parking unfortunately isn't an option. But don't worry, for cheap, long stay airport parking, Holiday Extras has you covered. With prices starting at £2.56 per day, choose from a range of discounted parking options at all major UK airports, including Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted, and Manchester. Compare and save up to 70% on trusted Park & Ride services, official airport car parks, popular Meet and Greet options, and money-saving airport hotel with parking deals.

At Holiday Extras we're dedicated to offering the cheapest car parking, which is why all of our packages are covered by our Never Beaten on Price policy. If you can find exactly the same product provided by the same supplier cheaper within 24 hours of paying for your booking, we will match the price by refunding the difference.

How to save money on your airport parking?

Top Tip #1: Pre-Book Your Parking

Secure the best prices by booking well in advance. Pre-booking airport parking can save you up to 70% compared to the gate price. Don't wait until the last minute—plan ahead and keep more money in your pocket.

Top Tip #2: Take a moment to compare parking providers

When you make a search you can easily order by cheapest first and be sure to look out for current special offers. Keep an eye out for Park and Ride parking - this type of package often boasts the cheapest prices throughout the year.

Top Tip #3: Look for Non-Flexible Deals

If your travel dates are fixed, non-flexible deals are a great way to save. These packages offer special low rates because they can't be cancelled or amended.

Top Tip #4: Consider a Parking and Hotel Package

Our airport hotel and parking packages start at just £33, which means you get 8 days of parking for only £4.12 per day, plus a comfy overnight stay before your flight, of course!

Booking your hotel and parking together not only saves you a lot of money compared to booking them separately, but it's also often just a bit more than parking alone. It's a smart and convenient way to start your trip stress-free and on budget.
