Edinburgh Airport handles over 14 million passengers a year as Scotland’s busiest airport. Here’s how to get the best parking deal at EDI.
Official Car Parks
Edinburgh operates long-stay and short-stay car parks. Long-stay uses a shuttle, while short-stay and multi-storey are walking distance. Official parking is 30-40% more expensive than off-airport alternatives.
Off-Airport Park & Ride
Several providers near the airport offer Park & Ride from around £4/day with shuttles every 15-20 minutes, fully secured with CCTV.
Meet & Greet
Excellent value at Edinburgh — £6-9/day, roughly 50% less than Heathrow. The single terminal makes the handover smooth.
Edinburgh-Specific Tips
One terminal means no wrong-terminal risk. During the Edinburgh Festival (August) and Hogmanay, book 4-6 weeks ahead as demand spikes.
The tram from city centre costs £7.50 (35 mins). For solo short trips this beats parking, but for couples and families, driving is better value.
EV Charging
Edinburgh has EV charging in the multi-storey car park. Check availability when booking if you drive electric.
