Mid Stay 1 gives you the best of both worlds – secured airport parking and the freedom to park yourself. Just drive in, find a space, and head off on foot. No shuttles, no handovers, and your keys stay with you.

Need to know

Head straight to Mid Stay 1. Drive to the entry barrier where your number plate will be recognised and you'll get a ticket. The barrier will lift automatically. Park in any space and keep your keys with you.

When you get back, walk to the car park. Pick up your car and drive to the exit. Insert your ticket, and the barrier will lift automatically so you can head home.

Accessibility

We recommend taking a look at the Mid Stay 3 car park, where Blue Badge bays are available on a first come, first served basis.

Security

Your car's in safe hands. The car park is secured by:

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

The small print

Early or late? The car park offers a 6-hour grace period at their discretion. Any longer than this and you'll be charged the car park's standard rate of £20 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 airport

Drive to the barrier where your number plate will be recognised and you'll be given a ticket. The entry barrier will lift automatically, so you can drive in and park in any space – keep hold of your keys while you're away.

From the car park, it's a 5 to 7 minute walk to the terminal.

Returning to the airport

When you get back, walk back to the car park from the terminal. Collect your car and drive to the exit barrier. Insert your ticket into the machine, and the barrier will lift automatically.
