How to choose the cheapest Terminal 1 Manchester Airport Parking?
Used to just rocking up to official Manchester Airport parking on the day and paying as you enter? Perfectly understandable as you just want to relax and enjoy your holiday; however, by using Airport Parking Shop and a tiny bit of planning, you can save money and perhaps find an option better suited to you.
A comparison: Turning up at the official Terminal 1 Multi-Storey costs £61.40 a day (for every day you park). Our lowest price last week was £37.14 for a 7-day stay.
Interested in saving? No problem. Head over to the main Manchester Airport page to learn all you need to know about finding cheaper and more suitable parking.
Why aren't all the answers on this page? Excellent question. We could fill this section for parking options at Terminal 1 with loads of content about the intricacies of parking here versus Terminals 2 and 3, but the truth is that would be a waste of digital paper.
Most of the parking options at Manchester Airport serve all the terminals. For example, the Park & Ride options — whether it is the official Manchester Airport JetParks or the third-party providers like APH, Hunters, CarePark, Maple — serve all terminals with free shuttles. The same Meet & Greet operators pretty much pick up from every terminal too.
The main differences per terminal are the walkable choices, with a separate Multi-Storey for each one — plus Mid Stay, which is only for T1/3. That's it: you just need to remember to book Terminal 1 Multi-Storey if you want to closest option.
Taster of what you can learn:
- Official vs third-party – what is the difference, and which one is cheaper?
- View all the main car parks in a full comparison table: transfer time, shuttle frequency, keep/leave keys, 24/7 hours, height limits, Park Mark/security notes.
- What are the walkable options?
- Short Stay vs Park & Ride vs Meet & Greet vs Valet — what each actually means for your wallet and airport arrival time.
- When to book in advance to save the most.
- Learn how to spot the key car park features that could make a bargain not necessarily so.
- How to avoid comparison anxiety (and a headache from continual swapping between multiple tabs).
Click here: Manchester Airport page.
Alternatively, want to skip to a summary of the answers? Here we go:
- Park & Ride is usually the cheapest (you park further away and take a bus), while Short Stay, right by the terminal, is the most expensive.
- Book two weeks in advance for the biggest savings.
- Comparing like-for-like (e.g., Meet & Greet vs Meet & Greet), third-party providers are usually cheaper than official ones.
- To check value, look at transfer time & frequency, distance from terminal, booking flexibility, opening hours, security and reviews, and rules on keys.
Good luck and happy saving!

Been using this facility for many years, from when it was Boundary farm, where we actually went when we arrived, only to find it was now a run down place, fortunately common sense prevailed and we went to the next entrance, and the barrier opened, and we were on our way, being elderly and not really familiar with online booking it took me a while to actually book, luckily my daughter is familiar with online bookings, hope to be back in March when we go on our cruise.

After using off-site car parks a few times and noticing changes of passenger seat position (why?) and suspicious extra mileage, the final straw was when a bagful of loose change disappeared from the locked centre console compartment. Since that I've always booked on-airport parking and found this one to be the best. A couple of times the flight time has been changed so I contacted the company online - no problem changing times. At busy times it can be difficult to find a space but if the sign says less than 50 spaces on a floor I just go to the higher floors. Only once in about 6 or 7 visits has the automatic number plate recognition failed us but I used the intercom, gave my reg. and the barrier was raised immediately. I will certainly use this car park again in the future.

Everything was very simple and hassle free but a better sign is required on or near the roundabout saying Drop & Go Not D and G that could have been anything

Very busy so difficult to find a parking space . the nearest bus stop to where we parked wasn't operating . However the transfer buses were modern , clean and frequent and as entry and departure was simple car recognition and therefore a smooth entrance and exit .
