Drop-off & pick-up
£7
Terminal drop-off: £7 for up to 15 minutes in Express Pick Up & Drop Off
As stated on the airport’s website, checked 3 October 2026. Charges can change — check before you travel.
Express Pick Up & Drop Off on the terminal forecourt costs £7 for up to 15 minutes; stay longer and a premium charge applies on exit. Pay at the forecourt exit barrier by card or contactless (no card fee). Coaches and buses must use Zone C. For passengers who need extra assistance, Glasgow recommends the Terminal Multi Storey instead.
Free alternative: leave your car free for up to 1 hour in the Long Stay car park and wait there or take the free shuttle bus to the terminal.
Picking someone up
Park in the Terminal Multi Storey (a couple of minutes' walk) to meet passengers in arrivals, use Express Pick Up & Drop Off (£7 for 15 minutes), or wait free for up to an hour in Long Stay.
Getting there by public transport
- The 500 Airport bus links the airport with Glasgow city centre (Glasgow Airport warns of stop changes in the city centre during roadworks on North Hanover Street).
- See the airport's 'getting to the airport' pages for other buses and rail connections.
Blue Badge parking & EV charging
Blue Badge & assistance
Blue Badge holders get 30 minutes free in the Terminal Multi Storey: validate the physical badge (not a photocopy) by placing it barcode-up on the contactless scanner at the exit barrier. If the badge holder is taking the badge with them, the driver uses the intercom on entry and exit instead. A badge can be used once in 24 hours and isn't valid for commercial vehicles such as taxis. Blue Badge spaces are provided in the car parks.
Tips for Glasgow
