The small print
Early or late? There's a 6-hour grace period at the car park's discretion. Stay any longer and you'll be charged the standard rate of £67 a day. This is subject to change.
Most standard cars (no trailers, not commercial, and no more than 2.4m x 4.8m) are accepted.
Our prices are lower than what you'd usually pay at the airport, but the shortest stay we offer is 24 hours. If you're parking for less time, it might be cheaper to pay on the day. We can't refund the difference if the price at the car park turns out to be less than what you paid with us.
