How Short Stay parking works
Say goodbye to stressful planning and parking, and follow these 4 simple steps:
Book in advance: Apart from T1 Short Stay, parking at Manchester Airport is pre-book only, so remember to book your space in advance.
Park up: Our Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) system will recognise your vehicle and open the barrier (if your car park has barrierless entry, just drive straight through). Find a space, park up, and lock your vehicle.
Walk to your terminal: No need for a shuttle bus. We’ll make sure your Short Stay car park is close to your terminal, so you can walk to check-in.
When you return: Find your vehicle right where you left it. The ANPR system will recognise your number plate and open the barrier again when you leave, so you can just drive away.
Where are the Short Stay car parks located?
There are Short Stay parking options within walking distance of every terminal at Manchester Airport: T1 Short Stay, T1 Multi Storey, T2 Multi Storey East, T2 Multi Storey West, and T3 Multi Storey.
