Park Mark Safer Parking Award – Why It’s So Important
Millions of air travellers rely on airport parking each year – and the demand for space makes it an attractive target for rogue ‘operators’ looking to earn easy cash – at your expense. This is why the Park Mark Safer Parking Award is such a vital tool.
As a Police Crime Prevention Initiative, the Park Mark Safer Parking Award is intended to help cut crime and the fear of crime in car parks across the UK. The scheme also covers facilities at Manchester Airport.
Take a look at the Manchester parking services we offer – such as APH Park & Ride – and you’ll see all are recipients of the Park Mark Safer Parking Award. The Safer Parking Award is only bestowed on car parks that meet or go beyond the requirements of a risk assessment set by the police. Keeping safe is easy when you book with APH.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best parking at Manchester Airport?
This depends on your travel priorities. The best value parking tends to be off-airport, so long as you don’t mind taking a short bus ride to the terminal.

Book early to save on your Manchester Airport car parking
Looking for cheap Manchester airport parking?
At APH, we can help savvy travellers gain significant savings.
Crunching the figures, it’s clear to see that booking early can cut significant amounts of cash from your parking bill. If your travel plans are set early and unlikely to change, reserving on-airport, park and ride or meet and greet parking right away could prove a smart move.
Booking six months ahead of departure day could potentially cut a jaw-dropping 60% from the purchase price, compared with making the same reservation a week before you’re due to fly.
Putting this in cash terms, an average week’s parking could cost around £77 when booked a week before, whereas securing the same space six months earlier could reward you with a bill of around £29. So, if saving in the region of £48 is tempting – you know what to do.
