We understand that people can’t always arrive at our car parks exactly when they say they will, which is why we have a 4 hour grace period either side of your pre-booked entry and exit times. However, if you overstay this grace period, you will be subject to our overstay charges, charged at the 24 hour turn up rate in each of our car parks.

Yes, you can book parking up to 2 hours before you are due to arrive at the airport. However, to guarantee availability and to secure the best prices we recommend booking early.

All of our car parks are secure and have all received ParkMark accreditation which means both ParkMark and the Police have signed them off as being secure places to park your car. They are well lit and our on-site team complete regular patrols.

We have changed the layout of the Short Stay car park in order to help avoid congestion and ensure a smooth, safe and hassle-free passenger experience as the airport gets busier and as it prepares to welcome back passengers.

The vast majority of London airports charge for pick up / drop off – and £5 for up to 10 minutes is in line with various Short Stay car park options of all the London airports.

We are also very proud to be one of the only London airports to provide our passengers with a free drop off/pick up option just a 3-5 minute walk from the terminal.

We have good provisions in the Short Stay car park for Blue Badge holders. We understand that they may take slightly longer to pick up and drop off. If people with restricted mobility using Short Stay do require slightly longer, we ask them to let us know when they are about to exit the car park, either using our payment machines or exit barriers by pressing the assistance button.

We do also have the free pick up/drop off period in Long Stay 3 that is only a 3-5 minute walk from the terminal.

Passengers that still wish to be picked up and dropped off for free have 15 minutes available by using our Long Stay 3 car park, which is just a 3-5 minute walk from the train station entrance.

The decision for implementing roadway management services was to deliver a safety focused roadway experience, ensuring all vehicles are kept moving. Due to an increase in the number of vehicles stopping in potentially dangerous locations across our roads and on/near our pedestrian crossings.

We urge passengers to make use of the 15 minutes free option in the Long Stay 3 car park, which is just a 3-5 minute journey time from the terminal doors. We are proud to be one of the only London airport to provide a free drop off/pick up option just a few minutes’ from the terminal and we encourage our passengers to use this facility, helping to prevent congestion and to keep their fellow passengers safe.

The no stopping zone starts at the roundabout between the Holiday Inn and the airport retail park and continues to Long Stay 1 and Long Stay 2 car parks opposite the Control Tower. It also includes the road that runs behind the Holiday Inn, concluding at the barrier entrance to the Hotel / Staff Car Park.

Prominent signage advising drivers of the importance of complying with the existing highway restrictions are now installed throughout the relevant areas, clearly marked with double red lines.
