How much is a week's parking at East Midlands Airport?
A week away usually means eight days in the car park, counting the day you fly out and the day you land. Booked today, the cheapest eight days is £61.98, about £7.75 a day, with meet and greet from £61.98 and on-airport parking from £64.97.
Why can meet and greet be cheaper than self-parking at East Midlands?
Different companies set the prices. The airport prices its own car parks, and the meet and greet operators set theirs, so on some dates meet and greet comes in underneath. When it does, the least effort and the lowest price are the same booking: you drive to the terminal, hand over the keys and walk in.
The catch is that you hand over your keys, which some people will not do. If that is you, the cheapest on-airport car park today is Jet Parks 2 at £64.97.
The best meet and greet price today is £61.98 (Winter Special Meet & Greet) and the best on-airport price is £64.97 (Jet Parks 2).
Meet and greet listings differ in their amendment and cancellation terms as well as their price, so read the terms on each one before you book. If your dates are firm, the cheapest listing is usually the right call; if they might move, a flexible one can save you rebooking.
What does East Midlands Airport charge without a booking?
Turn up unbooked and Short Stay 1 costs £59 for every 24 hours, which is £472 for eight days. Mid Stay 3 is £50 for 24 hours and £135 for three days, then £65 for each day after, so eight days there come to £460. Those are the prices booking ahead lets you avoid.
