It can feel unusual or unsettling to leave your car behind for extended periods of time; however, you needn’t worry. Short Stay 2 is kept secure by an extensive range of security measures, to ensure that all vehicles are kept safe in the interim. Security fencing and CCTV surrounds the compound, so intruders are prevented from entering and that all activity inside is monitored. The entrance and exit are also guarded by electric barriers that use Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR). This means that if you have not registered your vehicle with the car park, you cannot be granted unauthorised access to the premises. Collectively, its security measures have earned it the much sought-after Park Mark Award. This can only be awarded by the police, as it forms part of their official Crime Prevention Initiative.
When you arrive at East Midlands Short Stay 2, you will notice just how close in proximity it is to the airport terminal. Thanks to its on-airport status, there is no need for a transfer bus. Instead, you take just a short stroll to the terminal and the check-in desks.
This car park’s location to the terminal makes it ideal for those with mobility issues. It is just a 2-minute walk away from the check-in desks, and it is also the closest car park to the East Midlands Airport terminal. When you arrive, you will find that there are Blue Badge permit parking spaces, which will be clearly signposted. If you have any questions about availability, contact the team as soon as possible to register.
Whether you find yourself hitting the motorways earlier than you’d like, or know you have a late-night landing upon your return to the airport, you don’t need to worry about being able to access your vehicle. Short Stay 2 is open 24-hours a day, 365 days of the year, so your car is always just a short walk away.
No trailers are permitted.

Find a space and park up, then walk the short distance to the terminal building.
Please ensure you allow time to park your car and make your way into the airport terminal.
