Maple Parking Park and Ride

At the car park, pull up in one of the arrival bays and check in at reception. Leave your keys and give the reception your flight information, then your car will be photographed to ensure it is returned to you in the condition you left it. While you hop on the quick transfer bus straight to the terminal, your car will be parked for you by the car park staff.

The bus takes 5 minutes to get to the terminal, runs from 3.45am until the airport closes and is included in the price. The car park closes when the airport closes.
The airport car parks are currently experiencing issues with the automatic number plate recognition system. To access the car park we recommend pressing the intercom button and speaking to a member of staff.

If there are more than four of you travelling, you should give Maple Parking a call before you book on 01702 418650 to make sure there will be enough space on the bus.

It's your responsibility to make sure that your vehicle's road tax is valid, it holds a valid MOT certificate and is roadworthy. If your car isn't legal or safe to drive, Maple Parking won't be able to drive it to the car park, and you also won't be able to get a refund.

If you get back early, call Maple Parking as soon as you can. They need as much notice as possible to get your car ready so you aren't kept waiting. You won't get a refund for any unused parking time.
Early or late? The car park offers a grace period of up to midnight on the date you have booked to collect your car. If you go into the next day you will be charged the standard rate of £10 per day. Please note this is subject to change.

Most standard cars (without trailers/not commercial vehicles) will be accepted at the car park as long as they fit in a standard-size parking bay (2.4m x 4.8m).

The car park cannot accept vehicles with 8 or more seats. If you're bringing a long wheel based vehicle you'll be required to pay an additional supplement on arrival at the car park. The supplement will equal half of the total cost of the booking.
