About APH

It owns and runs its own car parks at Gatwick, Manchester and Birmingham, and books vetted car parks at airports across the UK, serving over 300,000 customers a year. Off-airport rates are typically 10 to 15% cheaper than parking on-airport.

Dropping off your car

1. Drive to the entry barrier at the end of the road on the right - it opens automatically.

4. Catch the transfer bus to your terminal (every 15 minutes, around a 10 minute ride).

2. Head to the marked APH bus stops just outside your terminal.
3. Take the short transfer back to the car park.

Security & facilities

APH Manchester is fully fenced with entry and exit barriers, CCTV, floodlighting and 24/7 staff and security patrols. Cars are parked at the main site or the nearby covered Dome site, and always returned to the main site for collection.

Facilities typically include reception with toilets and baby-changing, free WiFi, uniformed staff and assisted loading on request.

Accessibility

APH offers wheelchair-accessible shuttle buses and staff help with luggage. There is a help button at the barrier, and you can ask at check-in to have your car parked near reception for easier access on return.

Good to know

Any vehicle that fits a standard bay and can be driven on a standard UK licence is accepted; there is a £20 charge for vehicles over 5m. Skis and snowboards are fine on the transfer coach, but bikes and surfboards are not. The car park offers a grace period of around 6 hours at its discretion.
