APH Edinburgh Park & Ride

APH Edinburgh Park & Ride is a self-parking service operated by Secure Airparks, with on-demand transfers taking around 1–2 minutes to Edinburgh Airport. Drive through the ANPR-controlled entrance, choose a space, keep your keys and take the included shuttle to the terminal. The car remains in the secured car park while you are away.

The main advantage is combining one of Edinburgh’s shortest off-airport transfers with the reassurance of keeping your keys. Buses and car park staff are available 24 hours a day.

How does APH Park & Ride compare with Secure Airparks Self Park?

APH Park & Ride is operated by Secure Airparks from the same car park and provides essentially the same self-parking experience. With either product, you park the car, keep your keys and use the short 24-hour shuttle service.

Compare the live prices and booking conditions rather than choosing between them on location or parking procedure. Pay particular attention to cancellation terms, as some APH rates cannot be amended or refunded.

How does APH Park & Ride compare with Holiday Extras Drop & Go?

Both provide short transfers close to the airport. With APH, you find a space and keep your keys. With Holiday Extras Drop & Go, you leave your key in a secure drop box and staff park the vehicle for you.

Choose APH if you want the car to remain where you parked it. Choose Holiday Extras Drop & Go if avoiding the search for a space is more important than keeping your keys.

How does APH Park & Ride compare with Plane Parking?

Both are self-parking products where you keep your keys. APH is off-airport but has an on-demand journey of around 1–2 minutes, while Plane Parking is Edinburgh Airport’s official budget car park with a ten-minute transfer approximately every 18 minutes.

Choose APH for the shorter and more frequent transfer. Choose Plane Parking if official airport parking or access to electric charging points is more important.
