The two most popular ways to park at EDI. Meet & Greet saves you time; Park & Ride saves you money. Here is how they compare on today's live prices.
Scotland's busiest airport.
Edinburgh is Scotland's busiest airport and one of the UK's largest. It handles around 15.8 million passengers a year from a single terminal, with a strong mix of domestic, short-haul European and a growing long-haul network that includes year-round services to North America and the Middle East.
At Edinburgh today, Meet & Greet starts about £9.75/day more than Park & Ride, in exchange for skipping the shuttle at both ends.
Major carriers include British Airways, easyJet, Jet2, Ryanair, Lufthansa, KLM, Delta and United. Edinburgh's combination of business and leisure traffic means terminals are reasonably busy throughout the day rather than peaking sharply at certain times.
The airport's flat, open site to the west of Edinburgh has plenty of room for parking. The tram link from central Edinburgh provides a fast public-transport option that few other UK airports can match.
All the practical access info, by car, train, coach and otherwise.
From the city, take the A8 west, about 25 minutes. The M8 and M9 are both within 10 minutes of the airport for traffic from Glasgow and Stirling.
There's no main-line rail station at the airport itself; the nearest is Edinburgh Park, served by the tram and by ScotRail trains.
Edinburgh Trams run from the airport to central Edinburgh (York Place) every 7-10 minutes, journey time around 35 minutes. Lothian Buses' Airlink 100 runs frequent direct service to Waverley Station. National Express coaches link to Glasgow, Aberdeen, Inverness and beyond.
The tram connects with most central Edinburgh hotels via Princes Street, St Andrew Square and York Place.
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.
Off-airport operators concentrate along the Glasgow Road and around Newbridge to the north-west of the airport. Many shuttles run every 8-12 minutes during peak hours and undercut the airport's own long-stay by 25-40%.
The questions our 24/7 team gets asked most about flying from Edinburgh.
8 days costs from £73.97 (about £9.25 a day) at Edinburgh right now, based on live prices from 13 car parks we compare. The cheapest option today is Flying Scot at Low Cost (park and ride). Prices move with demand and rise sharply in the last fortnight before travel, so booking early is what actually saves money here.
Today the cheapest is Flying Scot at Low Cost at £73.97 for 8 days, about £9.25 a day. The cheapest on-airport option is Plane Parking Refundable at £83.97, against £73.97 for Flying Scot at Low Cost off-airport. There is no single car park that is always cheapest at Edinburgh, because operators reprice constantly, so the honest answer is to compare the live table above for your own dates rather than trusting a fixed list.
Yes, Edinburgh Trams run from the airport stop directly into the city centre via Edinburgh Park, Murrayfield and Princes Street. Journey time around 35 minutes.
For one or two travellers on a short trip, yes. For groups or trips over a week, parking can come out cheaper.
Yes, Delta and United fly to the US, Emirates to Dubai, Qatar to Doha, with seasonal services to Canada and the Caribbean.
Two hours for short-haul, three for long-haul. Edinburgh is generally less congested than London airports outside the August Fringe peak.
Forecourt drop-off is free for short stops. Multi-storey short-stay has a longer free window if you need more time.
Yes when Park Mark accredited. Edinburgh has several long-established family-run operators with strong reputations.
Off-airport secure compounds with regular shuttle to the terminal.
Hand keys at the terminal, your car parked in a secure compound.
