Inside Official Car Park 4
Car Park 4 is Birmingham's nearest surface car park, and its selling point is the covered walkway. In a few minutes you are at check-in without getting wet, and a free accessible shuttle runs round the clock for anyone who would rather ride. Surface parking also means no ramps and no height worries.
Car Park 4 is the airport's nearest official surface car park. Covered walkways take you to the terminal in three to five minutes, per the airport.
A free, accessible shuttle bus also runs every 15 minutes, 24 hours a day. You keep your keys, and cameras read your registration to raise the barrier.
Blue Badge holders will find dedicated bays, and 30 minutes' free parking when validated at the NCP Customer Service Cabin. Payment at the exit is by card.
Directions

How the car is protected

Why the covered walk matters
Birmingham in November or February is rarely dry. Car Park 4's covered walkways mean you arrive at check-in dry, with no bus to wait for, for noticeably less than the multi-storeys opposite the terminal. For a week or more in the colder months, it is one of the best-balanced products the airport sells.
