Airport parking types explained

Three ways to park at a UK airport, and how to decide between them.

Meet & Greet

Drive to the terminal area and hand your vehicle to the parking provider.

Best for
Early departures, families with luggage, and anyone who wants the shortest walk to check-in.
Worth checking
Check whether the airport access charge is included and what the provider's vehicle restrictions are.

Park & Ride

Park at the provider's site and take a transfer to the terminal.

Best for
Longer trips where price matters more than a few extra minutes at the airport.
Worth checking
Transfer frequency and journey time vary a lot between sites — both are shown on every result.

On-Airport

Park within the airport estate with convenient terminal access.

Best for
Travellers who want to stay inside the airport estate with a short, predictable transfer.
Worth checking
Height restrictions apply in some zones and prices rise quickly close to the travel date.
