Cardiff Airport Long Stay
“ The ease with which I was able to park and collect my car at Cardiff was amazing.” - Haydn Blackey
This on-airport car park is only a five minute walk from the terminal building. Drivers are free to park wherever they want and there is no need to hand in the keys. There are no disabled facilities in this car park so disabled drivers are advised to use Meet and Greet instead.
Directions
Please check your confirmation email for details.
Leave the M4 at Junction 33 onto the A4232. Continue along the A4232, following signs to Cardiff Airport. Take the third exit on the large roundabout onto the A4050. Continue along the A4050 and take the second exit at the roundabout. Proceed along the A4050 until you see another roundabout, take the second exit onto the A4226. Take the second exit at the next roundabout and continue along the A4226. You'll come across another roundabout on this road, take the first exit onto Port Road. Shortly after, take the third exit at the next roundabout and on that road you'll see your last roundabout, take the first exit. Continue along this road. The car park is on the left.
Arrival procedure
On arrival, please make sure you are in the car you made your booking with.
As you approach the entry barrier, a camera will read your number plate and the barrier will rise so please don't take a ticket. If this doesn't happen, press the assistance button for help.
You can walk to the terminal from the car park in 3-5 minutes.
Departure procedure
On your return, when leaving the car park please drive up to the exit barrier where the camera will read your number plate and the barrier will rise. If you have any problems, please press the assistance button for help.
Security
The car park is regularly patrolled and protected by CCTV, as well as entry and exit barriers.
Disabled facilities
Long Stay Car Park has no disabled facilities; therefore, we recommend taking a look at the Meet and Greet which is more accessible for those with reduced mobility.
Additional information
You choose your space, park your car and keep your keys.
If you're delayed coming back, you'll need to pay for the extra parking before you go at the car park's normal rate. The amount will be based on the calculated difference tracked by the cameras at the car park and will display on the screen by the exit barrier. This is more expensive than the price you pay when you book in advance.
If you come back early, unfortunately you won't be given a refund for the time you've not used.
Long Stay Car Park does not accept trailers.
The car park service desk is located in the Meet and Greet car park at the Priority reception. If you need any help on the day, please make your way to the desk or call 01446712604 to speak to a member of the team.
Long Stay Non-Flexible
Because this is a special low-price package, once you've made your booking, you can't change it, and you won't be able to get a refund if you need to cancel.

My experience wasn’t good. The signage to Cardiff Long Stay was very poor.
We even landed up in the wrong car park and had to pay 13.50 to get out. I’m disabled and no sign of Disabled spaces. I won’t be flying from Cardiff again.

Car park surface is poor. Barrier to exit did not work first time, had to approach a second barrier to exit.

I was pleasantly surprised by the overall experience. Somewhat nervous before hand about relying on a "number plate recognition system" to gain access to car park-but it worked perfectly.

Poor experience at Cardiff this time with parking, when we arrived at the barrier it did not open automatically to allow us in, no response when pressed call button to talk to someone, but got no response, ending up taking a ticket to enter the car park. On return when leaving the car park was asked to pay £208 to exit the car park. Managed to raise someone on the intercom, could see my booking and was able to leave me exit the airport with no charge. However he advised me my car had been booked in twice for that week and I had been charged twice for the week on different orders. Can only think when booking I had got through most of raising the booking when it fell over and informed me I would have to restart the process. Which mean I will need to look in to reclaiming the second payment. Hence not a good experience.
