Question 1

How do I amend my Manchester Airport parking booking?

Accepted Answer

You may amend your booking up to 72 hours before your car parking commences, either online or by contacting us. If your booking will change by less than 6 hours, there’s no need to contact us to change your booking. You can arrive up to 6 hours earlier and leave up to 6 hours later without a charge. However, your original times still apply to products like FastTrack or lounge access. Amend your booking by returning to the website you booked on and following instructions. Amendments are subject to your booking terms. Some promotional bookings cannot be amended and this will be shown during booking. If the original rate is no longer available, the new rate will apply.

Question 2

How do I cancel my Manchester Airport parking booking?

Accepted Answer

You can cancel for free up to 72 hours before your booking if booked directly with Manchester Airport. To cancel, revisit the website you used to book and follow the instructions. Some special offer bookings may not be cancellable. Bookings cancelled within 72 hours are not refunded unless you purchased Cancellation Protection, in which case you may cancel up to 1 hour before arrival. Bookings made less than 72 hours before departure are non-refundable unless Cancellation Protection was added. If booked via a third party, please contact them directly.

Question 3

My booking reference is not recognised on your website. What should I do?

Accepted Answer

If your booking reference is not recognised online, it's likely your booking was made via a third party. Please check your booking confirmation email for details on how to amend or cancel.

Question 4

What happens after I have made my booking?

Accepted Answer

You’ll receive an on-screen confirmation with your booking reference and instructions. Please print or save this.

Your booking is still valid even if the email wasn’t received.
