With the Skyport car park being only 6 minutes' drive from the airport, convenience is certainly the main attraction here. The state of the art licence plate recognition system allows you to enter and exit the car park quickly and effortlessly, while the 24 hour security will reassure you that your car is in safe hands. The car park is manned at all times and it's security features include security cameras and perimeter fencing.
Security measures
The car park has been awarded the police accredited security award called a Park Mark. The car park is surrounded by a perimeter fence and security cameras will be in use at all times and staff will be patrolling the car park regularly.
Anleitung
As you arrive, drive up to the barrier. The system will recognise your number plate and the barrier will lift. Drive in and drop off your luggage and extra passengers at the entrance. Park your car, keep your keys. Check in at reception then catch the included shuttle bus to the terminal. It runs when needed, is included in the price and takes 6 minutes.
If you have any problems, just press the intercom button and quote the four-digit code printed on your confirmation.
Early or late? The car park offers a grace period until 12 midnight at their discretion. Any longer than this and you'll be charged the car park's standard rate of £10 per day. This is subject to change.
Help us go green! There's no need to print out your booking confirmation, just show it on your mobile device.
Most standard cars (without trailers/not commercial vehicles) will be accepted at the car park as long as they fit under the 2.5m barrier and fit in a standard-size parking bay (2.4m x 4.8m).
Transfers
Transfers are included in the price and you can expect to wait around 9 minutes, though you may have to wait as much as 20 minutes. The journey normally takes just 6 minutes, but it may take longer during the rush hour.
Park & Ride customers will be unable to take oversized items onto the transfer buses (skis, snowboards, bicycles, surfboards or anything as large/larger than these items). To avoid this, you can drop large items off at the terminal with a passenger and then drive your car to Airparks.
