Dropping Off or Picking Up 

There are different options for dropping off or picking someone up from East Midlands Airport. We have options at our Short Stay car parks, or a free alternative at our Long Stay car park. You can either pick up or drop off at both locations. We also have a Rapid drop off option for quick drop offs which is ideally located in front of the terminal building.

You can also pre-book your Drop Off or Pick Up parking in our Short Stay 1 car park for up to a 1, 2 or 3 hour stay. Our Short Stay parking is located right next to the terminal, and only a short walk to check-in, ideal for dropping off or picking up.
