Security

As well as being right next to the airport, this car park benefits from high-quality security measures. It is guarded by electronic barriers, which use ANPR (Automatic Number Plate Recognition). These barriers will only open and shut if the number plate has been registered with the car park.

Car Park 1 is also surrounded by high-security fencing and CCTV cameras, to keep track of all activity within the car park, as well as preventing intruders. These collective measures have earned it the Park Mark Award, as part of the Crime Prevention Initiative. This award can only be granted by the police, who deem the measures comprehensive enough to meet their standards.

 

Disabled facilities

30 Blue Badge permit parking spaces are available on a first-come-first-served basis but you must bring your permit. To make use of these spaces, you will need to bring your full confirmation details, including the email. These spaces will be easily located in this car park; you just need to follow the signs for Blue Badge holders. These spaces are also located next to the exit, which is ideal for those who have mobility issues.

If you require the use of your Blue Badge permit on holiday, this is not an issue. You will, however, need to speak to the customer desk. They will then issue you with a permit in place of your Blue Badge to clearly display inside your vehicle. 

Transfer details

Thanks to this car park’s on-site location, there is no need for a transfer bus service. The car park is within 1 minute walking distance to the terminal doors so you don’t need to waste time before you start your holiday.
