Reviews
"Excellent service"
5stars
Mrs Forrest - January 2020
Excellent service with no fuss. Pulled up at the Mid Stay barrier on arrival and was immediately let in with no delay. Plenty of parking spaces of adequate size. Wouldn't hesitate to use you again and recommend you to others.
"Easy to find with excellent instructions"
5stars
Mrs Sadler - March 2020
Everything went very smoothly from booking our space to leaving the Meet & Greet car park after our return flight. It was easy to find with excellent instructions as to what to do on arrival, then where to park when we got there. The staff were very helpful and friendly, both when leaving our car and on our return a week later.

How can we help?

All our Airport car parks have a tarmac surface, with the exception of our Jet Parks car parks that have a gravel surface. However, please note that all our car parks have the Park Mark® Accreditation.

A height restriction of 2.0 metres (6 ft. 6 inches) applies to all Meet & Greet car parks and all multi-storey car parks across all the Airport sites.

Trailers are not permitted in any of our parking facilities.

The Airport car parks have been awarded Park Mark® Accreditation.

This means you're visiting a safer parking area that has been vetted by the British Parking Association (BPA) and has measures in place in order to create a safer environment for both you and your vehicle.

ANPR Technology

Please allow 30 seconds for the ANPR to recognise your vehicle. If your vehicle has not been recognised by our automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) cameras, please do not take a token but instead press the intercom assistance button on the entry column, a member of staff will then assist you. Taking a token will disable the ANPR system in relation to your booking, resulting in issues arising when you exit the car park and you may be double charged.

Automatic Number Plate Recognition is used for pre-book customers only.

If you have pre-booked your parking, drive up to the barrier, once the ANPR cameras have recognised your vehicle registration the barrier will raise so you may enter the car park. Please allow 30 seconds for the ANPR to recognise your vehicle.

If for any reason the ANPR cameras do not recognise your vehicle registration plate (if the vehicle plate is obscured by dirt/snow etc.), the barrier will not lift. In this instance, please do not take a token but instead press the intercom assistance button on the entry column, a member of staff will then assist you. Taking a token will disable the ANPR system in relation to your booking, resulting in issues arising when you exit the car park and you may be double charged.

Payment

Payment must be made in advance and online. We accept all major credit cards, debit cards and PayPal for pre-booking.

We reserve the right not to fulfil your booking if your card is declined for any reason, if the payment card has been used fraudulently or without the cardholder's permission, or if you are under the age of 18.

To protect your privacy and security, our website uses SSL encryption software, which is the industry standard. It encrypts your personal information so that it cannot be read.

You will know you are in the secure area of our site when the website address is preceded by “https://” and a padlock symbol appears in the frame of your browser.

Airport parking process

All you need is your booking confirmation e-mail. This should be a printed hard copy to ensure you can scan the code at all our car park barriers.

The booking confirmation will help direct you to the correct car park and also states your booking reference number so you have it to hand, should you need to speak to a member of staff.

Approach the barrier, where your vehicle registration will be scanned by our ANPR cameras and verified against your booking details. The barrier should then open automatically. Please be patient, as this process may take up to 30 seconds to happen.

If your vehicle has not been recognised by the ANPR cameras, please scan the QR code on your booking confirmation (this should be a printed copy) which looks like this:

QR Code

If the QR code is not recognised, or you do not have a QR code to hand, please do not take a token but instead press the intercom assistance button on the entry column, a member of staff will then assist you.

Taking a token will disable the ANPR system in relation to your booking, resulting in issues arising when you exit the car park and you may be double charged.

If you have pre-booked long stay, mid stay or short stay car parking, approach the barrier, where your vehicle registration will be scanned by our ANPR cameras and verify this against your booking details and the barrier should then open automatically. Please be patient, as this process may take up to 30 seconds to happen.

If your vehicle has not been recognised by the ANPR cameras, please scan the QR code on your booking confirmation (either via a mobile device or printed copy) which looks like this:

QR Code

If the QR code is not recognised, or you do not have a QR code to hand, please do not take a token but instead press the intercom assistance button on the entry column, a member of staff will then assist you.

When you return, the Meet & Greet operatives will direct you to your car and advise of the exit procedure.

Please be aware, under no circumstances can we reserve a space for Blue Badge holders.

We offer the following Car Parking options for Blue Badge holders:

Parking availability and price

Lack of car park availability could be due to:

  • The car park being fully booked for all or part of your stay;

  • Because the booking conditions for the car parking product have not been met; or

  • Because you are trying to book for less than the minimum stay.

Try adjusting your selection or choose another car park. For Meet & Greet bookings, please check to ensure that you have entered the correct arrival time.

If you are still experiencing problems, please contact our Customer Contact Centre, on the following free phone numbers, who can advise on a suitable alternative car park:

Car parks are priced per calendar day or part thereof. Prices are subject to change and quotes are valid at the time of booking only. The number of days charged is calculated on the basis of the dates and times you select at time of booking.

For example if you are travelling on a Monday and returning the following Monday you will be charged for 8 days.

All prices shown are in GBP and include VAT at 20%.

Car parking charges will also vary according to:

  • The time of year;

  • Location of car park in relation to the terminal; and

  • How far you book in advance.

East Midlands Airport parking costs depend on the length of your stay and the type of parking you want. The best East Midlands car parking prices are available when you book in advance.

For those who want the convenience of parking next to the terminal, our Short Stay car park is £69.99 for an 8 day stay in April. However, if you’re happy to park a short bus journey away from the terminal, our JetParks car park is just £41.99 for the same period.

For all East Midlands Airport parking prices, enter your trip details into our booking tool.

Drop off and pick up

If you’re dropping-off or picking-up at East Midlands Airport, there are a number of options available:

  • Short Stay car park: 30 minutes' stay for £6.00

  • Blue Badge parking: available at Short Stay 1 car park (no charge), where blue badge parking bays are clearly identifiable. Short Stay 1 can only be accessed by walking to/from the terminal, but should you require a wheelchair or further assistance, help points are located in all car parks.

  • Rapid drop-off: £5.00 for 15 minutes and £1.00 for every minute thereafter.

Although only a minority of passengers will be affected by this charge, the revenue generated will help to make sure that we are able to keep investing in the airport which will ultimately lead to more airlines flying to more destinations.

Other regional airports around the country have also introduced a range of charges for drop off/pick up.
