Cardiff is a small market and the car parks price within 1.3 times of each other, so there is less to gain by shopping around than at bigger airports.

Are there off-airport car parks at Cardiff Airport?
Barely any. What we can sell at Cardiff is dominated by the airport's own car parks: Long Stay came out at £119.98 for eight nights, Meet and Greet at £138.98 and Short Stay at £158.98. There is no independent park and ride estate at Cardiff the way there is at Manchester or Glasgow, which is why the floor sits nearer £15 a night than £7.
Does a longer trip cost less per night at Cardiff?
Three nights at Cardiff priced at £28.33 a night. Fifteen nights priced at £10.53. Compare totals rather than nightly rates.
Does booking early make Cardiff Airport parking cheaper?
Not at the cheapest car park. Long Stay charged exactly £119.98 whether we priced it a week ahead or a month ahead. Booking ahead secures the space, which matters in July, but at Cardiff it is not where the saving comes from. Our UK Airport Parking Price Index covers where booking ahead genuinely wins.
