What parking options do you offer at East Midlands Airport?

East Midlands Airport is a single-terminal facility, which makes the selection of parking a little easier than at some multi-terminal airports. All the car parks we offer are located within the airport complex and no more than five minutes’ transfer from the terminal – be this by bus transfer or a short walk.

Park at short-stay car parks like East Midlands Airport Short Stay 1 for quick trips, or mid- to long-stay car parks like East Midlands Airport Mid Stay 2 and Long Stay 1 for journeys of a longer duration.

How does short-stay parking work?

Our short-stay car parks include East Midlands Airport Short Stay 1, Short Stay 2 and Short Stay 3, which are located right next to the terminal and just a short walk from the check-in desks.

The main benefit of choosing short-stay parking is fast, easy access to the terminal without the need to take a transfer bus. It's well-suited to anyone running to a tight schedule or travelling from East Midlands Airport for just a couple of days.

All the short-stay car parks at East Midlands Airport operate on a self-park basis, meaning you keep your keys while away. Your car remains where you park it for the duration of your trip. There’s no minimum stay period, so you’ll only pay for parking used.

Security isn't an issue, with entry and exit barriers, full CCTV and manned patrols looking after vehicles. Along with this, all three short-stay car parks are holders of the Park Mark® Safer Parking Award. East Midlands Airport Short Stay Car Parks 1-3 are also suitable for Blue Badge holders to use.

Hoe does mid-stay parking work?

If you're looking for cost-effective parking that's close to the terminal, then consider parking at East Midlands Airport Mid Stay Car Park 1, Mid Stay 2 or Mid Stay 3. They offer rapid access to the check-in desks, with walking times of just five to seven minutes.

All the mid-stay car parks operate a self-park procedure, which means you keep hold of your car keys, and your car stays in the same space while you're away. The minimum stay is just two days, meaning you’ll only pay for the parking used.

You don't need to worry about security for the duration of your trip, thanks to measures like barrier-controlled entry and exit, CCTV, security fencing and manned patrols protecting your vehicle. All the mid-stay car parks are recipients of the Park Mark® Safer Parking Award.

How does long-stay parking work?

For travellers looking for great-value parking, East Midlands Airport Long Stay Car Park 1 and Long Stay 2 are the perfect solutions. Located just five minutes’ bus transfer from the terminal building, the long-stay car parks provide easy flight check-in access at some of the cheapest prices at the airport.

Using long-stay parking at East Midlands Airport is simple. Drive to the car park, find a space, unload your luggage and catch one of the regular transfer buses to the nearby check-in area. Unlike at many long-stay car parks, you park your car and keep your keys while travelling.

Security is just as tight here as at our other East Midlands Airport car parks. With barrier-controlled entry and exit and CCTV to watch over your vehicle, it should come as no surprise that this car park has earned the Park Mark® Safer Parking Award.

How does Meet & Greet parking work?

Getting to the terminal on time isn't always easy, but booking parking from East Midlands Airport Meet & Greet will certainly help streamline your journey.

Along with being one of the fastest routes to the terminal, Meet & Greet is an easy, stress-free way to access the check-in area. You simply drive directly to a meeting point at the terminal. Here, you take your bags and head to the check-in desks while a valet parks your car for you.

Although Meet & Greet parking provides the ultimate convenience, it isn’t as expensive as you might think – it often costs just a few pounds more than other East Midlands Airport car parks. Get a quote now to find out how much it’ll be to upgrade your upcoming trip.

Do you offer hotel and parking packages for East Midlands Airport?

Making your way to the terminal on time can be a stressful experience, especially if you're departing on an early morning flight. And with East Midlands Airport travel links heavily dependent on the nearby M1, there's a risk of you falling victim to congestion and unexpected closures on departure day.

However, you can make your journey more relaxing by travelling the day before your flight. Just buy a night's hotel accommodation and East Midland's Airport car parking together. Instead of early morning alarms and rush-hour traffic jams, you can enjoy a relaxed night’s sleep and a leisurely breakfast before your flight. And buying a hotel and parking package deal is typically cheaper than buying separately.
