Maple Parking Park & Ride is an independent off-airport service for Manchester Terminals 2 and 3, with staff parking your car while you take a free shuttle to the airport. Leave the vehicle in a drop-off bay, check in and hand over your keys. Transfers run every 20 minutes and normally take 20–30 minutes, depending on traffic and terminal.
This is a price-led park-and-ride option which removes the need to find a permanent space yourself. However, it is much farther from the terminals than Manchester Airport’s official car parks, so you must allow more time for the transfer.
Why choose Maple Parking Park & Ride?
- Staff parking: leave your keys at reception and a driver parks the car within the secure site.
- Terminals 2 and 3: the shuttle serves both of Manchester Airport’s current terminals.
- Regular transfers: buses run every 20 minutes and are included in the price.
- Vehicle inspection: the car is photographed when it enters the site.
- Security measures: CCTV, perimeter fencing, floodlighting, staff patrols and controlled barriers.
- Waiting facilities: toilets, baby-changing facilities, Wi-Fi and a sheltered waiting area are available.
How does Maple compare with JetParks 3 and JetParks Ringway?
All three are lower-cost park-and-ride options serving Terminals 2 and 3. JetParks 3 and Ringway are official self-parking car parks where you keep your keys, with buses running every 15 minutes and transfers generally taking around 5–10 minutes. At Maple, you leave your keys and the transfer takes approximately 20–30 minutes.
Choose Maple if its price is lower and you would prefer staff to find the final parking space. Choose JetParks for a much shorter transfer and the reassurance of keeping your keys.
How does Maple compare with Drop & Go?
Both services involve leaving your keys and having a driver park the vehicle. Drop & Go is an official airport product much closer to the terminals: Terminal 3 is around a five-minute walk away, while Terminal 2 is reached by a short shuttle. Maple requires a 20–30-minute transfer from its off-airport site.
Choose Maple when the saving justifies the longer journey. Choose Drop & Go when getting to the terminal quickly is more important.
How does Maple compare with Multi Storey parking?
Multi Storey is official self-parking next to Terminals 2 and 3. You keep your keys, most spaces are covered and you walk to check-in without waiting for a bus. Maple is an off-airport alternative where staff park the car and a shuttle is required in both directions.
Choose Maple when price is the priority. Choose Multi Storey for the shortest and simplest route between your car and the terminal.
Important things to know
There is no need to call before arriving, but you must call Maple after collecting your luggage on the return journey so that the shuttle can collect you. The buses do not have wheelchair ramps and are unsuitable for passengers unable to step up into the vehicle. Cars must be roadworthy and fit within a standard 2.4m by 4.8m bay. Parking beyond the booked period may incur an additional daily charge.
