Is Meet & Greet the right choice at Edinburgh?
Meet & Greet wins when time and hassle matter most: early-morning flights, late-night returns, travelling with young children, heavy luggage, or anyone who simply does not want to find a car park and wait for a bus.
Official car parks are Short Stay (multi-storey, attached to terminal), Mid Stay (5-minute walk) and Long Stay (5-minute shuttle). Edinburgh also operates a Plaza Premium valet at the front of the terminal.
- Edinburgh Trams are the cheapest way from the city centre, far cheaper than driving and parking for short trips.
- Long-stay shuttle queues build up on Sunday evenings during summer, allow extra time on busy nights.
- Newbridge-side off-airport sites generally have shorter shuttle times than those along the Glasgow Road.
Edinburgh Meet & Greet parking, your questions
How does Meet & Greet parking work at Edinburgh Airport?+
You drive to a meet point on the Edinburgh Airport terminal forecourt, hand your keys to a uniformed driver, and walk straight into departures. Your car is parked in a secure compound and returned to the terminal when you land. There is no shuttle bus at either end.
Is Meet & Greet parking safe at Edinburgh Airport?+
Yes. Drivers are uniformed and insured to drive customer vehicles, and cars are held in CCTV-monitored, fenced compounds. We flag Park Mark accreditation — the UK's audited safer-parking standard — on every listing that holds it. Photograph your car at handover as a sensible precaution.
Is Meet & Greet more expensive than Park & Ride?+
Usually, yes — you are paying for the time saved and the convenience of a terminal handover. For an early flight, a late return, or a trip with children, most travellers find the premium worth it. For a relaxed trip where a short shuttle ride is no problem, Park & Ride is cheaper.
