Return procedure
On your return, take the short walk back to the car park to find your car.The Automatic Number Plate Recognition system will read your vehicles number plate and the barrier will lift automatically, but please allow up to 40 seconds for this to happen.
If the barrier doesn't rise, please press the assistance button and a member of staff will confirm your booking details with you and raise the barrier. If prompted for over-stay payment please use the integrated Chip & Pin device.

Very expensive - I paid more for 5 days parking than I did for my return flight to Vienna!! On the positive side there was lots of parking and it’s all close to the terminals. I pre-booked what I thought was car park 2 and entered easily with vehicle recognition. When we left there was a holdup as the exit machine was requesting a ticket!! It was dealt with via the lady ‘in the machine’ who checked and I had booked car park 3 and used the wrong car park. She let us out anyway probably as there was a long queue behind!!

Location of car park is very easy to find with the pre-booking details allowing a prompt access at the security barrier. Car park spaces are generous in size and the short walk to the terminal is flat and clearly marked. My only issue was having returned from our trip and drove to the exit barrier the number plate recognition camera did not allow the barrier to rise and then the screen in the bright sunshine was not easy to view and caused lengthy delay not only to use but the following cars. Overall we were very pleased with the service and would recommend and use again.

Great location, very close to the main terminal. The car park is very clearly marked, making it easy to find your way and completely stress-free when travelling. A very convenient and well-organised option.
