Managed by the Airport Authority, East Midlands airport JetParks 1 car park offers value for money and secured parking at an affordable price, which is often cheaper than the cost of a return taxi. It is also more environmentally friendly than asking a friend or relative to make a double journey to drop off and pick up. This car park is approximately 8 minutes away from the terminal by shuttle bus. On-airport parking is simple, easy and efficient and perfect for both business and leisure passengers alike.
Security measures
The car park has high perimeter fencing, CCTV and regular security patrols. This car park has been awarded the Park Mark for safer parking. The Park Mark means that you are parking in an area that has been vetted by the police to make sure that the site has measures in place to create a safer environment. Park Mark awarded parking areas are run by responsible operators who are concerned with your safety and the safety of your vehicle.
Instructions
The car park has automatic number plate recognition, so you'll need to give us your car registration number when you book.
Drive up to the entry barrier and wait for the machine to read your number plate - this can take up to a minute. The barrier will open, so you can drive in and park. If nothing happens, press the button marked 'assistance' so you can speak to a member of staff through the intercom. They'll ask you to confirm your details. Don't insert your credit or debit card into the barrier at any point or you will be charged again for your parking. Also, don't press the ticket button, as this will stop you being able to gain entry.
Once you're through the barrier find a space and keep your keys. From there, just catch JetParks' included shuttle bus straight to the terminal. It takes 10 minutes, runs every 15 minutes, 24 hours a day.
Early or late? The car park offers a grace period of 6 hours at their discretion. Any longer than this and you'll be charged the car park's standard rate of £10 per day, which 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 in a standard-size parking bay (2.4m x 4.8m).
Transfers
