Easy parking, quick transfers

Park up, keep your keys, and hop on the shuttle. Long Stay 2 is a straightforward park and ride, with reliable transfers and secure, self-park convenience. Whether you're flying at dawn or touching down late, it's designed to make things easy.

Need to know

Drive up to the barrier which will recognise your number plate automatically. Take a ticket, drive through the barrier, and you're good to go. Park in any space and keep your keys with you.

Then hop on the shuttle to the terminal. It runs every 10 minutes, 24 hours a day, and takes just 3 to 5 minutes. It's included in the price.

On your way back, catch the shuttle from the terminal to the car park. Find your car exactly where you left it. Pop your ticket into the exit machine and the barrier will lift.

Visiting from October to March? The shuttle doesn't run during these months. You can walk to the terminal in about 20 minutes or grab a taxi.

Accessibility

All shuttle buses are wheelchair-friendly, and there are Blue Badge bays available on a first come, first served basis. Just make sure your badge is displayed.

Security

The parking team will keep your car secured with:

• CCTV
• Fencing
• Regular staff patrols
• Entry and exit barriers

The small print

Early or late? The car park offers a grace period of 6 hours at their discretion. Any longer than this and you'll be charged the car park's standard rate of £15 per day, which is subject to change.

Most standard cars (without trailers/not commercial vehicles) will be accepted at the car park as long as they fit in a standard-size parking bay (2.4m x 4.8m).

Getting to and from East Midlands airport

Arriving at the car park

Drive to the barrier, which will recognise your number plate and lift automatically. You'll be given a ticket – keep it safe for your return. You can park in any space and keep your keys while you're away.

From the car park take the included shuttle bus to the terminal. It runs every 10 minutes, 24 hours a day, and the journey takes 3 to 5 minutes.

A postcode for satnavs and a link to what3words will be in your booking confirmation to make your journey easier.

Returning to the car park

After your holiday, catch the shuttle bus back to the car park from the terminal. You'll find your car exactly where you left it.

Insert your ticket at the exit barrier, which will lift automatically. If there are any issues, press the intercom button for assistance and quote your reference.
