Moss Lane – Self Park

Moss Lane – Self Park

Moss Lane – Self Park is an independent park-and-ride option at 38 Moss Lane, close to Manchester Airport, where you park the car yourself and keep your keys. Choose an available space and take the included on-demand shuttle to the airport, with the journey normally taking around four minutes.

The main advantage is that your car stays in the space where you parked it and nobody else needs to drive it while you are away. You should call the car park approximately 30 minutes before arriving so that the team can prepare for your transfer.

Why choose Moss Lane – Self Park?

• Short transfer: the on-demand shuttle normally takes around four minutes.

How does Moss Lane Self Park compare with Airport Parking Manchester Park and Ride?

Both products operate from the same 38 Moss Lane parking site and use a shuttle to Manchester Airport, but the parking process is different. With Moss Lane Self Park, you find a space yourself, keep your keys and the car remains where you parked it. With Airport Parking Manchester Park and Ride, you leave your keys and the car park staff take responsibility for parking the vehicle.

Choose Moss Lane Self Park if keeping your keys and knowing exactly where your car will remain are important. Choose Airport Parking Manchester Park and Ride if you would rather hand the vehicle over and let staff park it for you. As both use the same underlying site, compare the live prices and booking conditions rather than choosing on location alone.

How does Moss Lane Self Park compare with JetParks Ringway?

Both are park-and-ride products where you park the car yourself and keep your keys. JetParks Ringway is an official Manchester Airport car park with buses running approximately every 15 minutes, while Moss Lane is an independent car park using an on-demand shuttle.

Choose Moss Lane when its price and shorter stated transfer suit your trip. Choose Ringway if using an official Manchester Airport car park is more important or if you need a wheelchair-accessible shuttle.

How does Moss Lane Self Park compare with T2 West Multi Storey – P3?

Both allow you to park the vehicle yourself and keep your keys. T2 West Multi Storey – P3 is a covered official car park around a 4–5-minute walk from Terminal 2, so no bus is required. Moss Lane is off-airport and uncovered, with an approximately four-minute shuttle journey.

Choose Moss Lane when reducing the parking cost is the priority. Choose P3 for Terminal 2 if covered parking and being able to walk directly between your car and the terminal are worth paying more for.

Important things to know

Call the car park at least 30 minutes before your booked arrival time. When you arrive, choose a space, park the vehicle and keep your keys before taking the shuttle to the airport. On your return, call after collecting your luggage so the car park can arrange your transfer back to Moss Lane.

Although five Blue Badge bays are available, the shuttle bus is not wheelchair accessible, so this product is unsuitable if an accessible transfer vehicle is required. Vehicles must fit within a standard 2.4m by 4.8m parking bay and trailers and commercial vehicles are not accepted. The car park currently allows a discretionary six-hour grace period for early or late returns; beyond this, an additional daily charge may apply.
