Cheap East Midlands airport parking
Cheap East Midlands Airport parking starts at £49.44 for eight days booked ahead today, at Winter Special Meet & Greet (checked 2 November 2026), with the airport's own car parks from £79.43 and meet and greet from £49.44. The one rule that keeps it cheap is to book before you go: turning up at Short Stay 1 costs £59 for every 24 hours, £472 for eight days.
How much is parking at East Midlands Airport?
Between £49.44 and £126.95 for eight days booked ahead, depending which of the 10 car parks you choose. Sitting on the M1 and the A50 with open land around it, East Midlands has room for plenty of operators, and that competition is what keeps the bottom of the range low. The figure that never comes down is the barrier: £472 for eight days in Short Stay 1.
How much is parking at East Midlands Airport for a week?
From £49.44 booked today, for the eight days a week away usually means once you count the day you fly out and the day you land. That is about £6.18 a day, with meet and greet from £49.44 and on-airport parking from £79.43.
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 Mid Stay 3 at £79.43.
The best meet and greet price today is £49.44 (Winter Special Meet & Greet) and the best on-airport price is £79.43 (Mid Stay 3).
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.
