Need to know

The car park is on the airport grounds, a 1-minute walk to the terminal.

Drive to the car park where your car reg will be recognised and the barrier will rise – no ticket will be issued. Park in the priority area of the Short Stay car park – keep your keys – and take the short walk to the terminal. A ticket will only be issued if your car reg isn't recognised.

After check-in, show your booking confirmation at the security search area and you'll be directed to a dedicated fast lane meaning you can skip the queues.

Electric vehicle charging

There are 2 charging points for electric vehicles at the rear of the car park near the exit barriers. They operate on a first come first served basis.

Accessibility

The priority car park is the closest to the terminal, so this option is ideal for travellers with reduced mobility.

There are Special Assistance Call Points linked to the terminal's service desk if you need to request help when you're at the car park.

Security

The car park is secured by:

• Entry and exit barriers
• 24-hour attendants
• CCTV
• Regular staff patrols

The car park also has the Park Mark award for security.

The small print

Government regulations require passengers at the airport to wear a face mask. Remember to bring a face mask and have it on before you get there. You'll need one for each member of your party.

Early or late? The car park offers a grace period of 2 hours, at their discretion. Any longer than this and you'll be charged the car park's standard rate of £30 per day. Please note this is subject to change and the car park isn't taking cash, so you'll need to pay by card.

Help us go green! There's no need to print out your booking confirmation, just show it on your mobile device.

Most standard cars (without trailers/not commercial vehicles) will be accepted at the car park as long as they fit under the 2.2m barrier and fit in a standard-size parking bay (2.4m x 4.8m).

With this car park you are entitled to priority security passes for up to 2 passengers. Show your booking confirmation at security to gain access to the fast lane.
