Getting around: cars, transfers and passes
Airport parking: on-site, off-site and what to check
Where should I leave the car while I fly, and what should I check first?

In short
Airport parking comes in two main forms: on-airport car parks close to the terminal, and off-airport sites a shuttle ride away, often with different price structures and rules. Distance, shuttle frequency and what happens when your flight lands late matter more than the headline daily rate.
Vehicle limits (height, size, electric cars), access hours and cancellation terms are set by each operator. Check them against your car and your return time.
On-airport or off-airport
- On-airport: shortest walk or a short transfer; usually the highest price and limited spaces at busy times.
- Off-airport with shuttle: lower price and a longer trip; check the shuttle’s hours and interval, especially for late-night returns.
- Short-stay versus long-stay: short-stay lots are priced by the hour and are a poor fit for a week away.
What to check
- Vehicle limits: height, length, and whether large or electric vehicles are accepted and can charge.
- Access hours and the last shuttle: a delayed flight may land after it stops.
- How entry and exit work (ticket, plate recognition, key handover) and what proof to keep.
- Cancellation and amendment terms, including for flight changes.
- Liability and security: fencing, cameras, and what the operator covers.
Check before you buy
- Compare the shuttle’s last service with your return flight’s landing time and a delay buffer.
- Check vehicle limits against your car.
- Keep the entry ticket or confirmation and photograph where you parked.
- Read the cancellation terms before booking.
