Drop-off & pick-up
£5
Terminal drop-off: £5 for up to 10 minutes in the drop-off zone
As stated on the airport’s website, checked 3 October 2026. Charges can change — check before you travel.
The drop-off zone is directly opposite the terminal: £5 for up to 10 minutes, £8 for 10–20 minutes and £13 for 20–60 minutes. Pay by coin or card at the machine on exit, and don't leave the car unattended.
Free alternative: the Long Stay Car Park (a 4-minute walk) has a 15-minute grace period, so it can be used for quick drop-offs and pick-ups; normal rates apply after 15 minutes.
Picking someone up
Use the Short Stay Car Park (from £5 for 10 minutes) or the 15-minute free grace period in the Long Stay Car Park.
