All our car parks are on site and are managed locally by the Airport.

However, the price can vary dependent on availability, car parking facilities and distance to the terminals. View information on all our car parks at a glance to decide which one is most suitable to your needs.

All our Airport car parks have a tarmac surface, with the exception of our Jet Parks car parks that have a gravel surface. However, please note that all our car parks have the Park Mark® Accreditation.

A height restriction of 2.0 metres (6 ft. 6 inches) applies to all Meet & Greet car parks and all multi-storey car parks across all the Airport sites.

Trailers are not permitted in any of our parking facilities.

The Airport car parks have been awarded Park Mark® Accreditation.

This means you're visiting a safer parking area that has been vetted by the British Parking Association (BPA) and has measures in place in order to create a safer environment for both you and your vehicle.

Manchester Airport has secured Park Mark and Buy with Confidence status for its car parks. This means our car parks meet the highest standards set by Trading Standards and the British Parking Association.

When choosing your airport car parking we’d always recommend researching the company before handing your keys over.

Yes, the coordinates stated on your email booking confirmation will direct you to the car park entrance. Please enter your chosen car park coordinates carefully into your Sat Nav. Postcodes are also available for most of our car parks.

There is no minimum stay duration for our Meet & Greet Plus, Short Stay or Multi-Storey car parks. However, the following car parks have the following minimum stay criteria:

• JetParks (T1, T2, T3, Ringway)

  From 3 days

• Meet & Greet (T1, T2, T3)

  From 3 days

Please note, these stay durations are subject to change due to car park availability.

As our airport grows we need to make some changes to our infrastructure to enable that growth. Therefore, we have had to close our Long Stay car parks for T1/3 and T2. If you prefer to turn up and park, then you should use T2 West for Terminal 2, or T1 Short Stay for Terminal 1 and 3. Alternatively, you can pre-book a number of car park options. We recommend you pre-book to guarantee your space and price.

Please allow 30 seconds for the ANPR to recognise your vehicle. If your vehicle has not been recognised by our automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) cameras, please scan the QR code on your booking confirmation (it must be a printed copy) which looks like this:

If the QR code is not recognised, or you do not have a QR code to hand, please do not take a token but instead press the intercom assistance button on the entry column, a member of staff will then assist you. Taking a token will disable the ANPR system in relation to your booking, resulting in issues arising when you exit the car park and you may be double charged.

Terminals 1, 2 & 3:

If you have pre-booked Meet & Greet parking, approach the entry barrier and your name will appear on the screen in front of you. Parking instructions will be provided on the screen and the barrier will lift to grant you access.

Please remember to hand your keys into the office or use our self-service kiosks.

Please also have your return flight details available, as the Meet & Greet operative will make a note of these to ensure your vehicle is ready upon your return.

When you return, the Meet & Greet operatives will direct you to your car and advise of the exit procedure.

Please be aware, under no circumstances can we reserve a space for blue badge holders.

For customers wishing to turn up and park, please follow the signs for your terminal and then for the multi-storey car park. At Terminal 2, customers can also use the long stay car park. All car parks have disabled bays clearly signed. For long stay car parks a regular bus service operates and the buses are Equality Act compliant.

Please be advised that pre-booking your car parking is highly recommended to ensure your space.

Find out more about services available at the airport for customers with disabilities or reduced mobility. If you are concerned about accessibility on your flight, please contact your tour operator, airline or travel agent for further details.

Lack of car park availability could be due to:

• The car park being fully booked for all or part of your stay;

• Because the booking conditions for the car parking product have not been met; or

• Because you are trying to book for less than the minimum stay.

Try adjusting your selection or choose another car park. For Meet & Greet bookings, please check to ensure that you have entered the correct arrival time.

At Manchester Airport, parking prices depend on the duration of your stay and the type of parking you want to book.

For example, the most convenient parking, closest to the terminal, will cost more than our longer stay parking, which involves a short bus journey to the terminal.

For an 8 day stay in August 2021, Meet & Greet will cost you £75.00, compared to £59.99 for Drop & Go.

Parking prices also depend on how far in advance you book your space. Booking your parking in advance can save you a considerable amount.
