Manchester Airport Mid Stay Multi-Storey - P12 (formerly T1)

Manchester Airport Mid Stay Multi Storey – P12 (formerly T1 Multi Storey) is an official covered self-parking option around a 10–15-minute walk from Terminal 2. Drive in using ANPR, choose a space and keep your keys. A covered route via the Skylink/Sky Bridge leads to T2, so there is no shuttle or key handover.

Previously known as Terminal 1 Multi Storey, the car park is now signposted P12 and serves Terminal 2. Its main advantage is covered parking without the higher level of service associated with Meet and Greet, although the walk is longer than from the terminal’s P1, P3 and P4 car parks.

Why choose Mid Stay Multi Storey – P12?

• Covered parking: the car and most of the route to Terminal 2 are protected from the weather.
• Keep your keys: the vehicle remains in the space where you parked it.
• No shuttle: walk to T2 via the covered Skylink/Sky Bridge.
• ANPR entry: there is normally no ticket collection or reception check-in.
• Official airport parking: operated within the Manchester Airport complex.
• Blue Badge bays: designated spaces are available on a first-come, first-served basis.

How does P12 compare with T2 Multi Storey P1 and P3?

All three provide official self-parking close to Terminal 2, with covered spaces and no requirement to leave your keys. P1 and P3 are approximately 4–5 minutes from the terminal, while P12 takes around 10–15 minutes.

Choose P12 if it produces the better quote or the closer multi-storeys are unavailable. Choose P1 or P3 when reducing the walk with luggage or children is more important.

How does P12 compare with T2 Park & Walk P4?

Both are self-parking options where you keep your keys and walk to Terminal 2. P4 is an uncovered, ground-level car park approximately 4–6 minutes away. P12 is a covered multi-storey, but its walk takes around 10–15 minutes.

Choose P12 for protection from the weather. Choose P4 when the shorter route to check-in matters more than covered parking.

How does P12 compare with JetParks?

Both are official self-parking products where the car remains in the space you choose. P12 provides a covered walk to Terminal 2, whereas JetParks requires a shuttle taking approximately 5–10 minutes and is generally positioned as the airport’s budget option for longer trips.

Choose P12 to avoid waiting for a bus. Choose JetParks when obtaining a lower price is more important than covered parking and a walkable location.

Important things to know

Follow signs for P12 rather than the former Terminal 1 name. The car park has a 2-metre height limit and trailers are not accepted. Extensive vehicle restrictions also exclude vans, pickup trucks, all Land Rover and Range Rover models and many larger SUVs and electric vehicles, so check that the vehicle is eligible before booking. Supply the correct registration by the deadline in the booking confirmation so the ANPR system can recognise the car. Additional charges apply when leaving later than the booked departure time.
