Why do I need to pre-book airport car parking?
To save money - our prices can represent great savings over just arriving at an airport car park. You can save up to 60% on the cost of parking your car as opposed to turning up on the day.
To save time - no need to queue up and pay for your car park on your return to the UK. Plus, with our new Meet & Greet option, you can save even more time by going directly to the terminal and your car is valet parked for you.
To guarantee your parking space - if you have pre-booked with us your space is guaranteed and at peak times, airport car parks can get very busy.
The earlier you book your airport parking, the more you'll save
When you search with us you are able to choose from 60,000 parking spaces at 26 airports and ports around the UK. By pre-booking, you can save up to 60% standard gate prices & you benefit from a Best Price Guarantee, promising to match any like-for-like service price.
All car parks are checked for security, transfers and location & we also now offer parking at the UK's leading cruise ports of Southampton and Dover.
Alternatively you can arrange parking at an airport hotel & get a peaceful night's sleep before you fly. Many airport hotels offer room packages that include parking for the length of your trip; great if you live a long way from the airport, or have a super-early flight. Better still, they often only cost a little more than the parking alone and occasionally are cheaper; so you could view this as parking with a hotel room thrown in. We offer 2-5 star airport hotels with parking and transfers to the airport at 25 UK airports & you receive huge discounts on airport hotels by booking in advance. You may even get FREE child places.
There are lots of different types of car park available & not all types are available at all airports. Once you've found the cheapest price it doesn't necessarily mean it'll be the best for you. Here's a quick guide to what the options are:
On-site parking. The airport operators' own car parks
This is the name given to car parks operated by the British Airports Authority (BAA). It basically means that the car park is on BAA land, but occasionally 'off-site' car parks can actually be closer to the terminal building.
Off-site parking. Any car park not in the airport complex
Simply any carpark that isn't part of the airport complex itself. In other words this is the name given to the invariably cheaper car parks operated by third-party companies, which lay on regular transport (transfers) to the terminal building. The best of these are just as quick and convenient as on-site, if not more so!
Meet and Greet. Valet parking by another name
You drive to the terminal, and are met by a driver who you give your keys to, (s)he then parks it for you. When you land, the car's waiting at the terminal again. Some also offer to valet your car or even service it before returning it to you as well. Great service, but usually expensive.
Local car parks. Private, smaller places to park
There are occasionally small companies with spare land that offer their own parking services & try to undercut the competition on price. On the downside, they generally don't offer anything like the same level of security, almost all airport car parks have 24 hour CCTV and guard patrols, whereas local services may be less secure and availability is more limited, so check first and weigh this up with the price if considering one.
Safe, Secure & Reliable
Use us to book your Meet & Greet Parking & be assured that your car won't be treated like this!
We have both park & ride and meet & greet car parking available at selected airports & guarantee we won't be beaten on price.
