Parking on the day

You can find Turn Up and Park options at the T1 Short Stay, T3 and T2 West Multi Storey Long Stay (‘T2 West’) car parks.

However, with limited availability, spaces cannot be guaranteed. It is strongly recommended that if you intend to park your vehicle for a holiday, break or trip, you pre-book when possible to ensure a space and get the best short stay prices, especially during peak periods. Please note, if you intend to use the turn up and park facilities for pick up or drop off, you do not need to pre-book.

Tariffs and Terms and Conditions are available at the entry points of the Multi Storey Car Parks.

The original Long Stay car parks serving the airport have now closed. Our Drop & Go car park is available for all terminals.

Picking someone up

If you are collecting someone, you’ll find an arrivals (pick up) car park serving each terminal.

  • T1 Pick Up zone is located in T1 Short Stay car park

  • T2 Pick Up zone is located on Level 0 of T2 West Multi Storey Car Park

  • T3 Pick Up zone is accessed through T3 Multi Storey Car Park

All car parks are also sign-posted from the terminals arrivals areas.
