EDI Parking Terminal Surface

EDI Parking Terminal Surface is an official open-air car park around a two-minute walk from Edinburgh Airport. Park in any available space, keep your keys and walk directly to the terminal. There is no shuttle, reception desk or key handover.

The main advantage is terminal parking without the height restriction of the Multi-Storey. It is not covered and does not include access to the FastTRACK bridge, so compare both products if their prices are close.

Why choose Terminal Surface?

• Two-minute walk: reach the terminal without waiting for a shuttle.
• Keep your keys: the car remains where you parked it.
• No height restriction: suitable for vehicles too tall for the Multi-Storey.
• ANPR entry: the barrier recognises your registration automatically.
• Electric charging: charging points are available within Terminal Parking.
• Blue Badge bays: accessible spaces and special assistance are available.
• 24-hour security: the Park Mark car park has CCTV and regular patrols.

How does Terminal Surface compare with the Multi-Storey?

Both are official self-parking options where you keep your keys and walk directly to the terminal. Terminal Surface is open-air and around two minutes away, while the Multi-Storey is covered and takes approximately one minute.

Choose Terminal Surface if it offers the better price, you need electric charging or your vehicle exceeds the Multi-Storey’s 2.1-metre height limit. Choose the Multi-Storey for covered parking and included FastTRACK on eligible bookings.

How does Terminal Surface compare with Mid Stay?

Both are open-air self-parking products where you keep your keys and avoid a shuttle. Terminal Surface is around two minutes from the terminal, while Mid Stay requires a walk of approximately five minutes.

Choose Terminal Surface for the shorter route, particularly with luggage. Choose Mid Stay when the additional walking time provides a worthwhile saving.

How does Terminal Surface compare with FastPark?

Both are immediately beside the terminal and avoid a shuttle. At Terminal Surface, you find a space and keep your keys. At FastPark, you leave your keys at the self-service reception and airport staff park the vehicle.

Choose Terminal Surface if you want the car to remain where you parked it. Choose FastPark if avoiding the search for a space is more important.
