Here’s a simple step-by-step guide to how the process works:
Drive to the airport → Head straight to your pre-booked on-airport car park → Find a parking space → Park your car yourself and keep your keys → Walk or transfer to terminal → Most car parks are within walking distance, though some may offer a short shuttle → Enjoy your trip → Your car stays safely parked within the airport grounds → Return and collect your car → Walk back or take the shuttle and drive home
On-airport parking is perfect if you want maximum convenience, minimal walking distance and fast access to the terminal, especially for short trips or business travel.

These car parks are located just outside the airport perimeter and include a short, convenient shuttle transfer to the terminal. When you book with APH, you can expect secure, well-managed facilities with 24/7 security for complete peace of mind.
On arrival, simply drive to the car park, park or hand over your vehicle (depending on the service), and take the free transfer bus directly to the terminal. Transfers are regular, reliable and included in the price.
When you return, head to the designated shuttle pick-up point and take the short transfer back to the car park to collect your vehicle.
Here’s a simple step-by-step guide to how off-airport parking works:
Drive to the car park → Follow directions to your off-airport parking location → Park or drop off your car → Find a space or hand over your keys if required → Take transfer to terminal → Hop on the free shuttle bus for a quick ride to departures → Enjoy your trip → Your car is securely parked while you’re away → Take transfer on return → Catch the shuttle back and collect your car
