Security

As well as providing a seamless service for those who park with them, Long Stay 1 also has a high-security system.

CCTV cameras also watch it, so all activity around the premises is monitored.

Long Stay One has plenty of accessible parking spaces available for those who require them. It’s always recommended that you book well in advance. On top of that, the transfer bus comes complete with wheelchair access, making life much easier on the journey to the terminal. The transfer service is completely DDA compliant.
