These are the local, independent parking companies we book directly, airport by airport, with today's price for the same 8-day stay: 4 of them at Heathrow alone. Each one runs its own car park, yard or meet and greet team, and your booking goes straight to them, with their own instructions and contact numbers in your confirmation.

Every name below opens that operator's own page, with how it works on the day and its live price.

What is an independent airport parking company?

A local business that runs its own parking at one airport, rather than a national parking brand or a booking network selling other people's spaces. We work with each company on this page directly, so there is nobody in between your booking and the people who look after your car. The price you see is the full price for your dates with our flat £1.95 booking fee already in it. Where a car park or the airport charges something on the day, such as an access levy or an exit fee, the listing names it and says who you pay.

London: Heathrow and Luton

Heathrow

  • Terminals Parking runs meet and greet at Heathrow: a chauffeur meets you in your terminal's short stay car park, takes the car and keeps it in a secured car park about 5 miles from the airport. It also runs park and ride from Colnbrook, a Terminal 4 meet and greet and a meet and greet that charges your electric car.
  • Heathrow Park & Go is in Stockley Park (UB11 1ET). The team helps you into a marked bay and arranges your transfer, and the shuttle is £8 each way, paid to the car park by card.
  • Heathrow Elite Parking is a secure 24-hour multi-storey in Staines (TW18 4QB), outside the London ULEZ zone. You park yourself and keep your keys, and the journey to the terminal is paid separately.
  • Heathrow Car Park is a covered, shutter-controlled car park in Staines-upon-Thames, about four miles from Heathrow and outside the ULEZ zone, where you keep your own keys.

Every other car park at the airport, on live prices: Heathrow Airport parking.

Luton

Airport Parking Bay and Luton 247 both run meet and greet from Terminal Car Park 1, Level 3. You hand your keys to their driver, walk to check-in, and your car goes to a secure compound off the airport. Both charge a £10 exit fee when you collect, paid to them by card or cash on top of the booking.

North West: Manchester and Liverpool

Manchester

  • Avian Parking runs park and ride from its own secure, gated yard on Holly Lane in Styal. You hand your keys in at reception and the shuttle to your terminal, part of the booking, takes 10 to 20 minutes. Manchester Airport's own levy of £16 per car is paid to the driver on the day.
  • Manchester Park & Ride parks you at its secure yard on Wilmslow Road in Cheadle (SK8 3PW) and takes you to the terminal on its own shuttle. The airport's access fee, £6.40 each way, is paid at the airport.
  • LCS Manchester and Secure Airport Transfer run meet and greet at Terminals 2 and 3. At Terminal 2 the handover is in Short Stay car park P3, Level 3, and the airport's car park charge there is paid online by you, separately from the booking.

Liverpool

Imagine is in Speke, about 400 metres from Liverpool John Lennon Airport's terminal, and is open and staffed 24 hours a day. You leave the car at reception and the team parks it, then it is about a 4-minute walk to the terminal. Imagine also runs meet and greet from the airport's drop-off area.

Midlands: Birmingham and East Midlands

Birmingham

It holds the Park Mark award and is a British Parking Association approved meet and greet operator.

East Midlands

Midlands Airport Parking runs three meet and greet options at East Midlands Airport, and a driver meets you at the terminal on all of them. All Inclusive covers every fee, so there is nothing extra to pay on collection. Flexible and Non-Flexible differ in whether you can change your dates afterwards.

South West: Bristol

Bristol Sky Park runs park and ride from The Stoke Inn in Chew Stoke (BS40 8XE), with a minibus to the airport and the airport's barrier tolls included. It also runs meet and greet from Bristol Airport's Drop Off and Pick Up car park.

Dublin and Southampton cruise port

Dublin

GO Airport Parking runs park and ride from a secure compound a short drive from Dublin Airport, with a shuttle every 30 minutes to Zone 16, the coach park, which serves both terminals.

Southampton cruise port

GO Airport Parking runs a Park & Stroll and a Park & Ride near the port, both with the Park Mark award. Southampton Parking Co. takes you and your luggage to your terminal in its own six-seat vehicle, about 20 to 25 minutes depending on traffic, and collects you from the terminal when you are back.
