Newcastle Official On Airport Long Stay Parking

Newcastle Long Stay is the airport’s main budget car park, but it is not hidden miles away behind an industrial estate. It is on airport grounds, around 300 yards from the terminal and takes approximately 5–7 minutes to walk. An on-demand shuttle is also available and takes about two minutes.

Park in your own bay, keep your keys and either walk straight to departures or use the shuttle if you have heavy luggage. It is often Newcastle Airport’s cheapest official option and considerably more convenient than the words “Long Stay” might suggest.

Why choose Newcastle Long Stay?

• Official airport parking: located within Newcastle Airport grounds.
• Walkable: reach the terminal in around 5–7 minutes.
• Shuttle available: an on-demand transfer takes approximately two minutes.
• Keep your keys: your car remains in the bay you choose.
• Open 24 hours: suitable for early departures and late arrivals.
• Secure: CCTV, fencing, barriers, floodlighting and 24-hour patrols.

How does Long Stay compare with Premium Long Stay?

Both are official self-parking options where you keep your keys. Premium Long Stay occupies the section nearest the terminal and reduces the walk to around 3–5 minutes, compared with approximately 5–7 minutes from standard Long Stay.

Choose Premium when the price difference is small or every saved minute matters. Otherwise, standard Long Stay offers almost the same convenience for less money.

How does Long Stay compare with Park & Fly?

Park & Fly is independently operated and uses a shuttle taking around five minutes. You leave your keys so its staff can park the car. Long Stay is official, lets you keep your keys and gives you the choice of walking or using the airport shuttle.

Choose Park & Fly when it offers a worthwhile saving. Choose Long Stay for the simpler arrangement and the ability to walk back to your car without waiting for a transfer.

Important things to know

Take a ticket at the entrance, park in any available bay and keep the ticket safe for your return. Accessible spaces are available in Zone A. Lorries and trailers are not accepted, and additional time beyond the booked period is charged at the car park’s current drive-up rate.

Overview

Newcastle International Long Stay Car Park is an official on-airport car park from which you can walk to the terminal in as little as 5-7 minutes.

If you have already done a price search then you might be confused (and justifiably) by the car park naming and prices: there are 2 types of both Long Stay and Short Stay (Long Stay/Long Stay Premium and, Short Stay 2/Short Stay 1) - as well as a Premium Fast Track.

Newcastle airport is small with all the official car parks onsite and walkable. Long Stay is the farthest and cheapest but still listed as only a 5-7 minute walk, while Long Stay Premium is opposite Short Stay 2, making it perhaps a 1-2 minutes quicker to the terminal - and a little bit more expensive.

Slightly nearer than Long Stay, Short Stay 2 and Long Stay Premium are situated opposite each other with no noticeable difference in distance to the terminal. As a result their prices should be very similar.

Short Stay 1 appears to be across from the terminal and closer than Short Stay 2, explaining its higher price relatively.

For those who need assistance transfers are on-demand.

Security

The car park has 24-hour CCTV, 24-hour security patrols, entry and exit barriers, a fence and floodlighting. It holds the Park Mark, a national security award for car parks which is accredited by the police.

Directions

The airport is 10 minutes from Newcastle city centre on the A696. Turn right at the roundabout into the airport complex (or left if you're coming along the A696 from the north), then take the first exit at the next roundabout and follow the signs for the long-term car park. If you're using a sat nav, the postcode is NE13 8BZ.

Arrival procedure

Please take a ticket at the entry barrier, then park your car and catch the bus to the terminal. Keep your ticket somewhere safe, as you'll need it when you come back.

Departure procedure

If you need the shuttle bus, it will collect you from the pick-up point outside the front of the terminal and take you back to the car park. When you return to the car park, simply get in your car and drive to the barrier, then put your ticket into the barrier and it will let you out.

If you have any problems, please press the help button on the machine to talk to a member of staff.

Insurance

Use of the car park are subject to the prevailing Terms and Conditions which are available at the car park.

Disabled facilities

There are extra-wide spaces for disabled customers in Zone A.

Additional information

The car park does not accept lorries or trailers.

If you're delayed coming back, you'll need to pay for the extra parking at the car park's normal rate, which will be more expensive than the price you pay when you book with us - at the moment extra days cost £7.50 per day.

If you come back early, unfortunately we can't give you a refund for the time you've not used.

Premium Long Stay

Premium Long Stay is the nearest of the long stay car parks to the terminals, reducing your walk-time by another minute or so.

Drive to the car park - driving directions and a postcode for your satnav will be on your booking confirmation. Take a ticket at the barrier, then follow signs to the Premium Long Stay area. Park in any space and keep your keys.

From there, it's only a short walk to the terminal, around 3-5 mins.

On your return, walk back to the car park and collect your car. Drive to the barrier, insert your ticket and drive home.
