Please be aware that if you have booked Meet & Greet parking and know in advance that you will be delayed, need to stay longer than expected or need to collect your car earlier than expected, please contact the Meet & Greet operation to inform them of your late/early return as soon as possible.

Car Parks

What are the differences between our car parks?

All our car parks are on site and are managed locally by the Airport.

However, the price can vary depending on availability, car parking facilities and distance to the terminals. View information on all our car parks at a glance to decide which is most suitable for your needs.

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

Are there any height restrictions?

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.

How safe are the airport car parks?

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.

I have a Satellite Navigation System, are co-ordinates available for the car parks?

Yes, the coordinates stated on your email booking confirmation will direct you to the car park entrance. Please enter your chosen car park coordinates carefully into your Sat Nav.

What is the minimum length of time I can park?

There is no minimum stay duration for our Short Stay car parks. However, the following car parks have the following minimum stay criteria:

Meet & Greet
From 3 days
Mid Stay
From 3 days
Long Stay
From 5 days
JetParks
From 6 days

Please note, these stay durations are subject to change due to car park availability.

What is the maximum length of time I can park?

The maximum stay in the majority of our car parks is 60 days. Longer stays can be requested by contacting our contact centre.

Our Mid Stay and Short Stay car parks have limited capacity and unfortunately cannot serve all demand over peak periods, therefore they may only be available for shorter stay durations.

ANPR Technology

What if I have pre-booked and my vehicle is not recognised by ANPR?

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.

What is Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR)?

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

What payment methods are accepted for pre-booking?

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.

How do know my payment details are secure?

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

I have booked parking in advance. What do I need to bring to the airport?

All you need is your booking confirmation e-mail. This can either be on your mobile phone or as a hard copy.

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.

I have booked parking in advance. At the airport, what do I need to do?

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).

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.

What process do I follow if I pre-booked Long Stay, Mid Stay or Short Stay Parking?

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 to verify 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).

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.

What process do I follow if I pre-booked Meet & Greet/Valet Parking?

If you have pre-booked Meet & Greet parking, approach the entry barrier and press the intercom button to speak to one of our car park operators. Listen carefully to the instructions provided.

Please remember to hand your keys into the office or use our self-service kiosks.

Please also have your return flight details available, as the Meet & Greet operative will make a note of these to ensure your vehicle is ready upon your return.

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

Parking availability and price

Why is there no availability for the dates I am trying to book?

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:

East Midlands Airport queries

Why does the airport charge for drop off and pick up?

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.
