Guide: parking for couples

Book your airport parking today

Tick parking off your to-do list

Travelling as a couple and making new memories is simply the best – whether you’re escaping for a romantic weekend away or backpacking around Asia for that once in a lifetime trip.

When planning your holiday, it can be easy to overlook airport parking. It might not be the most glamorous part of the trip, but booking in advance can save you time and money, as well as giving you peace of mind. So let's take a look at the great parking options on offer at Manchester Airport.

Choose the right parking option

There are Short Stay, Mid Stay and Long Stay parking options, and we'll help you find the right one for your trip and budget.

We’re going on a… weekend getaway

If you’re only jetting off for a few days, you need parking that's quick, easy, and fuss-free. Our Short Stay car parks are located right next to each terminal, so it's only a couple of minutes’ walk to check in – it couldn't be easier!

Distance to terminal - 1-8 minutes walk

Prices from £68.00 (4 day stay in February 2025)

We’re going on a… mini break

For trips of up to one week, Mid Stay parking is the most popular choice if you’re flying from either Terminal 1 or 3. Great value-for-money and just a short walk to the terminal buildings, you can go from car park to check-in within minutes.

Distance to terminal - 3 minutes to T3, less than 10 minutes to T1

Price from £62.99 (8 day stay in February 2025)

We’re going on a… long adventure

With seven Long Stay car parks to choose from, we’ve got an option for every need.

Quick and easy, Meet & Greet is one of the most popular parking options at Manchester Airport. Simply pull up, drop your keys at reception, and one of our Meet & Greet drivers will take your car to an official and highly secure on-site car park. So you can just head to check-in, with total peace of mind while you're away.

If you’re looking to save money for the all-important holiday, JetParks is our budget-friendly parking option. It’s slightly further from the terminals, but hop on one of our free shuttle buses (they run every 15 minutes) and you’ll be at your terminal in minutes.

Prices from £62.99 (8 day stay in February 2025)

Booking in advance

We get it – no one wants to spend lots on parking! While it might be tempting to put it off until the last minute, prices can increase closer to your trip due to limited availability. So pre-book your parking with us and save up to a massive 77% on the turn up price!

Not only will you save money, but getting organised ahead of time will also give you a much smoother run-up to your holiday.
