Liverpool APL Parking

Liverpool APL is a close off-airport car park with an on-demand shuttle taking around two minutes. Drive to reception, leave your car and keys, then let the staff park while you take the short transfer to the terminal.

The car park is less than 500 metres from Liverpool Airport and operates 24 hours a day, making it a straightforward alternative to walking from one of the official car parks.

Why choose APL Park & Ride?

• Two-minute transfer: the car park is very close to the terminal.
• On-demand shuttle: transfers run when required rather than to a fixed timetable.
• Open 24 hours: suitable for early departures and late returns.
• Staff park your car: leave it at reception rather than searching for a bay.
• Secure site: CCTV, barriers, perimeter fencing and 24-hour patrols.
• Park Mark: the car park holds the police-approved safer parking award.

How does APL compare with Park Smart?

Park Smart is an official airport car park where you park yourself, keep your keys and walk around five to seven minutes. With APL, you leave your keys and take a two-minute shuttle.

Choose APL if you would rather take the transfer than walk with your luggage. Choose Park Smart if official parking and keeping your keys are more important.

How does APL compare with Imagine and Skypark?

APL, Imagine and Skypark are all close independent car parks where staff park the vehicle and you leave your keys. APL is sold as a park-and-ride service, while Imagine and Skypark are close enough for customers to walk to the terminal.

Choose APL if you prefer the short shuttle. Choose Imagine or Skypark if you would rather walk, then compare the live prices and recent reviews.
