Security is paramount when considering your airport car parking options, just as it is for parking at any airport.
The Park Mark Safer Parking scheme is a Police Crime Prevention Initiative designed to reduce both crime and the fear of crime in car parks across the UK. The Park Mark Safer Parking Award is given to car parks that meet the scheme’s standards of security, maintenance and management, such as Glasgow Short Stay Parking and Glasgow Fast Track Parking.
Assessments for the award are carried out on an annual basis, to ensure standards are maintained.

How to get cheap Glasgow Airport parking
Finding the best deal is important for most travellers and we are happy to share our money-saving tips for car parks at Glasgow Airport.
Book early to save on your Glasgow Airport car parking
Airport parking charges fluctuate according to both season and availability. The same as many airfares in fact. An easy way to save on costs, therefore, is to book in advance – at the same time as you book your flights, perhaps.
We have gathered tons of airport parking booking data over the years and analysis of the data for Glasgow parking shows that those who make their booking with APH six months prior to travel save, on average, over 25 per cent, compared with those who confirm their airport parking reservation just one week before they fly.
In terms of cash, this translates to paying £43 for a week’s parking instead of £58.00. That’s a saving of £15.00 – money better spent on fun stuff instead!

Pick Park & Ride parking
Generally, the most economical type of airport parking, Park & Ride car parks are usually sited off-airport – but not too far away. At Glasgow, Skyport is less than 10 minutes by bus transfer from the terminal doors and offers secure parking facilities with CCTV, barrier controls and security fencing, as well as 24-hour patrols. The Skyport car park carries the Park Mark Safer Parking Award.

Different types of airport parking suit the various types of requirements of airline passengers. Here’s a quick overview of the types of airport parking you might come across when planning your trips.
On-airport parking: How it works
On-airport parking refers to car parks that are situated within the airport grounds. These are usually the closest to the terminal building. Glasgow Short Stay Parking, for example, is just two minutes on foot to the terminal entrance.
All you need to do is drive to the car park, find a space, take your bags and walk to the terminal.
On-airport car parks benefit from the tight security that operates within the airport complex. In addition, Glasgow Short Stay Parking and Glasgow Fast Track Parking are accredited with the Park Mark Safer Parking Award.
Here's a quick overview of how on-airport parking works.
Best for: those preferring to park within walking distance of the airport terminal.
Off-airport: How it works
Off-airport car parks are often the most cost-effective type of airport parking.
Located outside the airport perimeter and requiring a short bus transfer, off-airport car parks are usually easy to find and, if you book through APH, you can be assured of 24-hour security for your vehicle while you are away.
Just follow the directions to the car park, drop off your car, take your luggage and hop on the next shuttle bus for the free ride to the terminal.
When you return from your trip, follow the signs in the Arrivals Hall to the car park buses and take the short ride back to the car park to collect your car.
Here's a quick overview of how off-airport parking works.
Best for: travellers looking for the most economical type of airport parking, without wanting to compromise on security and safety.
