The small print
Larger or commercial vehicle? The car park has changed its terms and conditions meaning that some larger vehicles are no longer accepted. If your vehicle is one they won't accept you'll be charged an additional £25 per day when you arrive. Please read below for full details and check whether the car park will accept your vehicle before you book.

Purple Parking Park and Ride cannot accept:
Commercial vehicles or minibuses of any variant.
Single or double cab pickup trucks such as Ford Ranger, Toyota Hilux or Nissan Navara.
Medium-panelled or windowed vans such as a VW Transporter, VW Caravelle, VW Caddy, Ford Transit, Mercedes Vito, Mercedes Viano or short wheel-based vehicles of any description.
Large panelled or windowed vans such as a Mercedes Sprinter, VW Crafter, Renault Master, Ford Transit or long wheel-based vehicles of any description.
Any variant of camper van.
Any vehicles over 2.1m high.
You'll be charged an additional £25 per day if your vehicle fails to comply with the above.

The parking team will move your car to a self-park area and charge an additional £20 per day in any of the following cases:
Not providing a key to your vehicle.
Not deactivating ghost alarms (or not providing clear instructions to the team at check-in).
Not removing steering wheel locks.

If you have an electric car, make sure it has enough battery charge to be moved through the car parks and last the duration of the stay otherwise the car park may charge you a fee. The car park does not offer electric charging.

We recommend that you leave 45 minutes to drop your car and keys off and get the shuttle to the airport.

Help us go green! There's no need to print out your booking confirmation, show it on your mobile device.

Early or late? The car park offers a grace period until midnight at their discretion. Any longer than this and you'll be charged the car park's standard rate of £20, which is subject to change.
