The airport has excellent connections to several motorways, the M1 and the A46 being two of them. Another good reason for taking your car to the airport is to avoid the drop-off fee of five pounds for the first ten minutes and a pound for every minute after that. Parkos offers you cheap East Midlands airport parking when you take your car to the airport.

Frequently Asked Questions

How early to arrive at East Midlands Airport?

chevron

Trying to figure out how early to arrive at the airport, will depend on which kind of East Midlands Airport parking you book. The general rule of thumb is to check-in 2 hours prior to your departure time. To allow for plenty of time before your flight from East Midlands Airport, please keep in mind how long it will take you to park your vehicle and get to the airport from the parking. 

Park and Ride

The Park and Ride offers are usually the most affordable parking options. If you book this option, you will drive to the parking lot, often located 10-20 minutes from the airport terminal. From the parking lot, their shuttle bus will transport you to the airport and bring you back to your car upon your return. The shuttle operating hours and transfer times vary by car park, we suggest checking with the parking prior to booking to ensure their hours will fit your needs.

Meet and Greet

East Midlands Meet and Greet is the most convenient option for travelers, as you can drive straight to the airport. A valet from the car park will be waiting for you at the terminal and will park your car for you. When you are approximately 30 minutes away from the airport, please call the car park you booked with to inform them of your arrival so that the valet will be ready. Once the valet drives your car to the car park, you can easily walk into the airport and check-in for your flight.

International Flights

When you have an international flight, keep in mind you may need to check-in and arrive at the airport 3 hours before departure time. The check-in process may be longer for international flights and the airline should send you information on when to arrive at East Midlands Airport. We recommend checking with your airline to ensure that you arrive at the correct time and have plenty of time to park your vehicle.

How does Meet and Greet work at East Midlands airport?

chevron

There are a few things to consider if you have chosen the Meet & Greet service at East Midlands Airport. With the Meet & Greet parking option, you have to drive to the departures hall. When you arrive, a member of staff will park your car for you once you have completed a few checks together. The confirmation email will include contact information for you to call when you are on your way to the airport so that they can be prepared to meet you at the East Midlands airport terminal.

On Arrival

Once you arrive at the airport, you simply unload your luggage and proceed to the check-in counter to begin your journey. You are not required to drive to the parking lot. Your car will be driven to the allocated parking area by a member of the East Midlands car park staff.

On return

Please notify the car park operator that you have arrived and got your bags from the baggage area. The East Midlands car park provider's phone number is contained in the booking confirmation e-mail you got from us. Then you and a parking provider employee arrange on a time for your arrival. Then, the parking lot employee will drive your vehicle to the assigned location. Usually, you will meet in front of the East Midlands airport terminal.

Advantages and disadvantages

There are of course advantages and disadvantages. The following is a brief explanation of the main advantages and disadvantages of the Meet & Greet parking service.

Advantages

Time efficiency. It goes without saying that having your car parked for you will save you time. Go to the departures building and leave your car with a car park employee. From there, a driver will take over and you may continue your journey.
Convenience. Another advantage that arises in a variety of ways is convenience. For example, you can exit your vehicle closer to the departures zone, requiring less distance to carry your bags and, most likely, receive greater assistance from parking attendants.

Disadvantages

Trust. Trust may be a disadvantage if you don't have a good view of where your vehicle is parked. Parkos only works with professionally approved car parks that use expert drivers, so you don't have to worry about your vehicle.
Cost. The Meet and Greet service is somewhat more expensive than, for example, Park and Ride because of its ease and efficiency.
