Birmingham Airport parking at-a-glance guide

Take a look at this easy-to-read overview of the types of parking offered at Birmingham Airport. You can read on below for a more detailed guide to how each service could match your needs.

On-airport parking

Choosing official airport parking puts you right next to the terminal doors on the day of departure – making it perfect for passengers in a rush to reach the check-in desks.

How it works: On-airport parking is extremely simple to use. Drive to the car park, find a space, park your car, unload your bags and take the short walk to the terminal.

Additionally, because you park your own car, there will be no need to leave car keys while away.

There’s no need to queue for a transfer bus, either, with just a three-to-five-minute walk to the terminal building (Car Park 5 offers a free transfer bus if required).

However, the sought-after location means prices for on-airport parking will be higher than off-airport facilities such as APH Park & Ride.

Best for: With its proximity to the terminal building, on-airport parking makes perfect sense for passengers laden with bulky luggage, or those with a young family to control. Business travellers on a tight schedule will appreciate this speedy route from car to check-in desks.

If you don’t mind paying a few pounds extra, then selecting on-airport parking could be the perfect solution to get your trip off to a stress-free start from Birmingham Airport. Enter your travel dates to get an instant quote.

Off-airport parking

Savvy travellers looking for cost-effective trustworthy airport parking should look no further than off-airport services offered through APH.

How it works: Off-airport park and ride services offer the best value service for travellers. Typically located within 15 minutes’ drive of the terminal, they’re extremely easy to use.

First up, travellers will need to drive to the off-airport car park, where they can unload their bags and jump on one of the regular transfer buses to the terminal. This shuttle ride will typically take around 15 minutes.

Once on the way to the airport, customers’ cars will be parked on the site – or occasionally moved to a nearby, security-protected overflow car park.

On their return, customers can take a free transfer bus back to the car park and collect their car. Easy.

Here’s a quick overview of how off-airport park and ride services work. Drivers will need to leave their keys when using park and ride services.

Services such as APH Park & Ride offer high-quality parking in security-protected sites that receive great reviews from previous customers.

Additionally, all Birmingham off-airport parking services offered by APH are holders of the police-approved Park Mark Safer Parking Award – ensuring a safe environment for both you and your vehicle.

Best for: Off-airport parking offers a great option for all travellers flying from Birmingham. And it will be of interest to those who want the best prices but aren’t prepared to compromise on security or location.

With more than 38 years’ experience, we only work with the best providers offering safe, legitimate parking in security-protected facilities. Choose our very own APH Park & Ride and you’ll be guaranteed secure parking with 24-hour staff, gate-controlled access and extensive CCTV across the Park Mark Safer Parking Award-holding car park.

From families to couples and business travellers, off-airport parking brings top-rated services for the very best prices. Add your travel dates now for an instant price.

Meet and greet parking

If you’re looking for the ultimate airport parking solution, meet and greet should be sitting at the top of your wish list.

How it works: There’s no faster way to the check-in desks than using meet and greet parking – and it’s one of the easiest services to use.

Simply drive straight to the allotted meeting point – typically the terminal forecourt or on-airport car park – where you can grab your bags and take the short stroll directly to the check-in desks.

Once you’re safely on your way, the car will be taken to a security-protected car park for the duration of your trip. It will then be ready to meet you on your return to Birmingham Airport. It really is that simple.

Meet and greet will typically top the pricing table, but slashing anything up to 45 minutes from your journey to and from the terminal could easily make it a great investment for those on a tight schedule.

And don’t forget, booking meet and greet services – such as Drivefly Meet & Greet – through APH will ensure there’s no risk of falling victim to a rogue operator. All of the partners we work with operate legitimate services backed-up by security-protected compounds to care for your car.

Best for: If you’re prepared to pay a little extra for the luxury of meet and greet parking then you’re sure to benefit from this time-saving solution. From families with young children to business travellers running to a tight schedule, meet and greet bypasses the car park and sends you straight to the check-in desks.

Packing the car and starting the journey to Birmingham Airport should be a time of excitement, but for many travellers the prospect of early morning alarms and clogged rush-hour roads is less enchanting.

That’s why an increasing number of smart travellers are swapping the misery and anxiety of on-the-day travel for the convenience and luxury of a stress-busting airport hotel and parking package for the night before they travel.

With Birmingham Airport fed by the M40, M42 and M6 motorways, there’s a big risk of travellers having journeys to the terminal consumed by congestion as they battle for space on rush-hour roads
