Frequently asked questions

We pull live prices from official airport car parks and trusted independent Park Mark approved operators, then show them side by side by price, type, transfer time and keep-keys status. You pick the best option for your dates and book in seconds with no booking fee.

Yes. Pre-booking through us beats drive-up gate prices by up to 80%, because gate tariffs are inflated for last-minute demand. Booking weeks ahead secures the lowest rate, and promo code BCP30 takes up to 30% more off at checkout.

With Park & Ride you park your own car, keep your keys, and take a short shuttle to the terminal, the cheapest option. With Meet & Greet you hand your keys to an insured driver at the terminal and walk straight to check-in, the most convenient. Compare both for your airport with us.

It depends on the product. You keep your keys with Park & Ride and on-airport self-park options. You hand them over for Meet & Greet and Valet services, where insured staff park the car for you. Each listing shows the keep-keys status clearly.

No. Britain Car Parks never charges a booking fee, so the price you see is the price you pay. You can also apply promo code BCP30 for up to 30% off at checkout, with free cancellation up to 72 hours before arrival.

Yes. Every car park we list is Park Mark approved, the police-assessed standard for safer parking, with CCTV, perimeter fencing and 24/7 monitoring. Each listing shows the operator's specific security details before you book.

Yes. Most bookings can be cancelled up to 72 hours before drop-off for a refund, and you can amend dates, times or your vehicle registration through the booking portal. The exact terms are in your confirmation email.

Most car parks account for delayed return flights automatically, so your car stays secure and you collect it as normal. For Meet & Greet, call the operator on your confirmation once you land. Long overstays beyond your booked dates may incur an extra fee.

Not always. Many off-airport Park & Ride and Meet & Greet operators serve all terminals. If your chosen car park is terminal-specific, confirm your terminal on your airline e-ticket before booking to avoid a longer transfer on the day.

Enter BCP30 in the promo code field on the search or checkout form to apply up to 30% off your booking. It works across the official and independent car parks we list, on top of our already pre-booked rates with no booking fee.

We accept major debit and credit cards through our secure, SSL-encrypted checkout. Your confirmation is emailed instantly after payment, with your booking reference and the directions you need for the day.

Yes. Our Stay, Park & Fly packages combine an overnight hotel stay with secure parking for your whole trip, often only slightly more than parking alone. Use the Hotel + Parking tab in the search to compare packages for your airport.
