Turn Up and Park


At East Midlands Airport, you don’t always need to pre-book your parking but there are discounts available if you do. If you prefer, you can simply turn up and park at our short or long stay car parks right on the airport site.

All our car parks are clearly signposted and are easy to find. Better still, they are either just a short walk from the terminal or a short bus journey.

Turn Up and Park – Long Stay Car Parks 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 & 7
Official on-airport long stay car parks either a short walk or a bus journey from the terminal.

There’s no advance payment needed; simply turn up, park and pay on departure. You can make a payment at one of the pay stations either within the bus interchange or within the car park you have parked. The machines accept all major credit and debit cards as well as cash. Receipts are available on request.

As an alternative, take a ticket from the arrival barrier. On departure proceed to the exit barrier, insert your ticket followed by your credit or debit card. Your card will be debited with the correct amount and returned to you with a receipt.
