Manchester Airport (MAN), which is the UK’s busiest regional hub, handles more than 25 million passengers a year and has a variety of parking choices available through 2025. As part of a £1.3 billion renovation, booking ahead can save you up to 77% compared to paying on the day, especially in the summer and other busy times. Know what options you have before you go on a trip, whether it’s for a short work trip or a long vacation. All legal parking lots have the Park Mark® seal of approval and are safe by having CCTV, patrols, and barriers.
A Look at the Parking Options
There are seven main types of parking at Manchester Airport, each one designed for a different length of trip and price. Meet & Greet is the most convenient option. You can leave your car at the terminal’s front gate, and a driver will park it safely while you walk to check-in in less than two minutes. This is great for families or people with a lot of bags. It’s an expensive option that you can get at Terminals 1, 2, and 3 (T2 is now marked as P1). There is covered parking on multiple floors, and the airports (T2 West is now P3) are only 1 to 8 minutes away. It’s good for short stays up to 10 days. Mid Stay at T1/T3 is a good deal for trips of up to a week. You can get there by bus or short walk. Drop & Go allows you to stay for seven days or more. It’s only a five-minute bus ride to T1/T2 or a three-minute walk to T3. If you’re on a tight budget, JetParks (1, 2, 3, Ringway) are a great choice. They have free shuttles that run every five to ten minutes, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Off-site providers like APH or Hunters make transfers that are similar but cost less.
Special Features and Easy Access
People with a Blue Badge can drop off items for free and use designated areas; booking ahead ensures preference. Charging stations for electric cars are available in some places, like JetParks and airport hotels, to help travellers who care about the environment.
