Why Pre-Book my Parking Space?
We advise those who wish to park up in the multi storeys to meet their friends and families inside the Manchester Airport Terminals to pre-book their parking space, as there is no guarantee there will be a spot available at busy times. Though you cannot book shorter stays in advance, if you think you might be at the airport for longer than a couple of hours, it could actually work out cheaper to pre-book a day's worth of parking, instead of paying for a couple of hours on the gate. Have a look at our price table below to see how much you could save on longer pick ups by booking in advance with Holiday Extras.
