Norwich Airport (NWI) is small, friendly and refreshingly simple to park at. The official offer is two on-airport car parks, Short Stay and Long Stay, both within walking distance of the terminal, plus a handful of off-airport options. This is the full 2026 guide to what you will pay and how to pay less.
Your options at Norwich Airport
- Short Stay (Car Park 1). The closest, right by the terminal. Free for the first 15 minutes, then priced by the hour. This is also the car park to use for dropping off and picking up.
- Long Stay. Still on-airport and walkable, and much cheaper per day. The one to pre-book for a holiday.
- Off-airport park and ride and meet and greet. A nearby park and ride operates via the Holiday Inn Express, and several meet and greet operators use a terminal handover in the Short Stay area.
Norwich Airport parking prices in 2026

| Long Stay , 24 hours | Around £30 |

Long Stay is where the value is for any overnight trip, and the per-day rate improves the longer you stay. Booking online ahead of the day is cheaper than paying at the barrier.
Dropping off at Norwich
Norwich keeps it simple: the first 15 minutes in the Short Stay car park is free, which is plenty of time to see someone off or collect them. Stay longer than that and standard Short Stay rates apply (around £8 for up to 20 minutes), so keep an eye on the clock.
The cheapest way to park at Norwich
- Pre-book Long Stay for holidays, and book as early as you can , online rates beat drive-up rates, often by a good margin.
- Use the free 15 minutes in Short Stay for drop-offs rather than lingering into paid time.
- Compare the off-airport park and ride if your dates are long, but always check the shuttle timings and any luggage rules first.
