Park and Ride is an affordable airport parking option where you park your car at a secure, designated facility close to the airport. Once parked, you’ll take a free shuttle bus to the terminal. After your trip, simply catch the shuttle back to the car park, where your vehicle will be waiting for you. It’s a great choice for budget-conscious travelers who need reliable transportation to and from the airport without the higher costs of on-site parking.

Most of our car parks include this fee in the overall price, while in some cases, it may be charged separately from the booking fee. Please review your booking details for specific information about any levy fees associated with your chosen parking service.
