Official Park Smart in brief
Park Smart is the lowest-priced car park that Liverpool John Lennon Airport runs itself. You park, keep your keys and walk to the terminal in around five to seven minutes, and the airport recommends it for larger vehicles.
Park Smart is an official, airport-run car park at Speke. Some resellers list it under its old name, so you may see both. It is self-park: you choose a space, lock up and keep your keys.
The walk to the terminal is a little longer than from Long Stay, around five to seven minutes on reseller figures, and there is no shuttle. In return it is the cheapest parking the airport sells on our sample dates.
The airport's help centre recommends Park Smart for larger vehicles. Reseller listings describe 24-hour monitored CCTV, security fencing, barrier control with number plate recognition, on-site staff, regular patrols and floodlighting.
Finding it
Liverpool John Lennon Airport is at Speke, on the south-east edge of the city beside the Mersey estuary. Follow the airport signs, then Park Smart, as you approach the terminal area.

How Official Park Smart is kept secure
Reseller listings describe 24-hour CCTV, fencing, barriers with number plate recognition, on-site staff, patrols and floodlighting. That is the operator's own account, which we pass on without having inspected the site. As anywhere, take valuables with you rather than leaving them on show.

Park Smart and the old iPark name
Park Smart is the same airport-run car park that some resellers still list as iPark. Book either name and you arrive at the same barrier. Your confirmation from us will say Park Smart.
Larger vehicles
The airport's help centre names Park Smart as the car park for larger vehicles. Vehicles that need more than one space should book through the airport's call centre, and trailers or coaches need notice in advance.
