For a straightforward service that still provides the convenience and security that you need, look no further than this sensibly-named car park. Automatic barriers will recognise your car when you arrive - and keep it safe until you return. From there, it's just a five-minute stroll to the terminal.
Security measures
Park Mark-approved car park, which is surrounded by a fence and partially covered by CCTV.
Upute
- Follow the signs to Car Park 2 - it's opposite the main terminal building and use any lane to enter the car park.
- Approach the barrier slowly to allow the automatic number plate recognition system to recognise your car.
- The entry barrier will then raise so you can drive in and park in a space. If your number plate is not recognised and the barrier fails to lift, use the 'Press For Assistance' button, but do not press for a ticket/coin as you will be charged again for your parking.
- Please do not park in Premium Car Park 1, unless you wish to pay to upgrade, which is £10 per day.
This package cannot be amended, cancelled or refunded once it has been booked.
If you need any extra days' parking, the car park will charge you £15 per day. You'll need to pay this at the information desk before you go.
The car park has dedicated spaces for Blue Badge holders.
Trailers are not allowed in this car park.
If you lose your car park token, the car park will charge you £5 to exit.
