On-Airport Parking: Located within the airport grounds for the fastest access. Options include Short Stay (next to the terminal) and Long Stay (a little further away with quick shuttle transfers).
Off-Airport Parking: Just outside the airport and often more affordable. APH’s nearby Express parking is so close you can walk to the terminal, offering great value without compromising on convenience.

Off-airport parking with APH gives you a great mix of cost savings and convenience. Our off-site option is extremely close to the airport - in fact, it’s within walking distance, so you won’t even need a shuttle bus. Off-airport car parks are run by our trusted partners and meet the same high security standards as the on-airport facilities. They’re fully secured with fences, CCTV, and staffed 24/7. If you’re looking for cheap Aberdeen Airport parking that’s still easy to use, off-airport parking is the way to go.

On-Airport Parking at Aberdeen Airport
On-airport parking puts you closest to the terminal, making it ideal for convenience and short trips. All car parks are secure, easy to use and located within the airport grounds.
Short Stay Parking
The Short Stay car park is right next to the terminal - just a 1–2 minute walk. Simply park, keep your keys and walk straight to check-in. It’s the most convenient option, perfect for business trips or stays of a few days, though typically higher in price.
Long Stay Parking
For longer trips, Long Stay offers better value while still being close. It’s just a 2-minute shuttle transfer to the terminal, with free, frequent buses running throughout the day.
Long Stay parking at Aberdeen Airport is a self-parking facility as well - you’ll take a ticket at the entry barrier or use the automatic number plate recognition if pre-booked, then park in any open space. You get to keep your car keys while you travel. Shuttle buses will pick you up at clearly marked bus stops inside the car park; hop on the bus for a brief ride straight to the terminal (transfers run on demand or every few minutes). On your return, catch the shuttle bus from outside the terminal to the Long Stay car park, where you can get in your car and drive to the exit barrier. (The barrier will automatically open when you insert your ticket or the ANPR system reads your plate.) With its low weekly rates, Long Stay is perfect for holidays of a week or more – you enjoy a lower cost per day compared to Short Stay, without compromising on security or service.
Tips for Saving on Aberdeen Airport Parking
Everyone loves a good deal! Follow these tips to get cheap parking at Aberdeen Airport without sacrificing convenience or security:
Book as far in advance as possible
The earlier you book, the more you can save. Prices are usually lower when you reserve your space well ahead of your flight. As the departure date approaches, airport parking rates often go up due to limited availability. By booking months in advance, you could save up to 50% or more compared to last-minute drive-up rates. Tip: Once your flights are confirmed, go ahead and secure your parking - you can always amend or cancel up to 24 hours before if plans change..
| Booking Time | Average Price (Per Day) | Weekly Cost Estimate | Savings vs 1 Week Before (£) | Savings vs 1 Week Before (%) | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Over 6 months before | £5.72 | £40.04 | £11.55 | 15.7% | Maximum savings & early planners |
| 6 months before | £6.16 | £43.12 | £8.47 | 11.5% | Great value with flexibility |
| 1 month before | £6.01 | £42.07 | £9.52 | 12.9% | Balanced price & planning |
| 2 weeks before | £6.59 | £46.13 | £5.46 | 7.4% | Last-minute but still saving |
| 1 week before | £7.37 | £51.59 | - | - | Most expensive option |
Choose the Right Car Park for Your Trip
To get the best value, match your parking option to the length of your travel. For a short trip (a long weekend or a business overnight), the off-airport APH Express might be cheaper than the on-site Short Stay while still being very convenient. For longer holidays (a week or more), the on-airport Long Stay car park will generally offer the lowest weekly rate - it’s designed for extended parking and priced lower per day. Think about how long you’ll need to park, and choose accordingly to maximise value.
| Parking Type | Duration | Price Guide | Weekly Cost Estimate | Keep Your Keys? | Service Type | Transfer Time | Best For | Convenience Level |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Off-Airport Parking | All durations | Budget-friendly | From £30-£60 | No (keys handed over) | Car parked for you (Park & Ride or valet) | 10-15 mins (shuttle bus) | Best value for longer trips | ★★★☆☆ |
| On-Airport Parking | All durations | Moderate to expensive | From £60-£100+ | Yes | Self-park | 1-5 mins (walk to terminal) | Convenience and proximity | ★★★★★ |
