What is the cheapest East Midlands deal we offer?

Our cheapest East Midlands deal is the Official JetParks 1 at £55.79 for 8 days (£6.97/day), which you can book with us. Our 5 cheapest deals run from £55.79 to £66.59, led by JetParks and the official Long Stay car parks.

On-airport budget and off-airport sites beat the gate price dramatically. East Midlands Short Stay 1 turn-up reaches £45 for 24 hours and £45 each day after, so an 8-day turn-up exceeds £370 against £55.79 pre-booked with us at JetParks. Book a few weeks ahead for the lowest rate, with free cancellation up to 72 hours before arrival.

Are JetParks the cheapest official East Midlands parking?

Yes. Our JetParks deals are the cheapest official East Midlands car parks, with JetParks 1 from £55.79 for 8 days. They sit on the airport's outer boundary with a free 24-hour shuttle reaching the terminal in 7-10 minutes. You keep your keys.

JetParks trade a slightly longer shuttle for the lowest official daily rates, making them the clear choice for budget-conscious travellers on 4-day-plus trips who want official airport security. Entry is via ANPR, and the free shuttle runs around the clock. You cannot walk from JetParks to the terminal, so the bus is essential. Book a JetParks space with us and apply BCP30 for up to 30% off.

What are the Long, Mid and Short Stay options at East Midlands?

We list 3 official walk-or-shuttle tiers: Long Stay (3-5 minute shuttle), Mid Stay (5-7 minute walk) and Short Stay (1-3 minute walk). Long Stay balances cost and convenience; Short Stay is closest to security. All are self-park, keys retained.

Long Stay 1, 2 and 3 sit closer than JetParks, with a 3-5 minute shuttle or a 15-minute pedestrian walkway, ideal for families needing secure medium-term parking. Mid Stay 1, 2 and 3 are a 5-7 minute walk with no shuttle, suiting couples or solo business travellers on 4-7 day trips. Short Stay 1, 2 and 3 offer the closest 1-3 minute walk to security for executive travellers and weekend breaks. Book any tier with us and apply BCP30.

Which off-airport East Midlands deals do we offer?

We have an off-airport East Midlands deal in Midlands Parking Meet & Greet, a leading independent valet at £63.89 for 8 days. It works like the official service at a lower price, storing your car in a Park Mark compound a few miles from the airport.

Midlands Parking Meet & Greet is our main off-site option, delivering valet convenience without official prices. You drive to the short-stay collection zone 15 minutes before your scheduled time, call the dispatch team, meet the insured driver for a joint vehicle inspection, hand over the keys, and walk into the terminal. Staff store the car in a secure Park Mark compound nearby. Book it with us with BCP30 applied and free cancellation included.

How do our East Midlands Meet & Greet deals work?

You drive to the terminal drop-off, hand your keys to an insured driver, and walk straight into departures. Staff move your car to a secure compound and return it on arrival. Our East Midlands Meet & Greet deals start at £63.89 for 8 days.

Both the Official VIP Meet & Greet and the independent Midlands Parking service remove the car park and shuttle entirely. The official service drops you right outside the terminal entrance with handover at a reception desk; the off-site deal matches it at a lower price with a quick dispatch call. Both suit travellers with heavy luggage or tight schedules. Book either with us, with BCP30 applied and free cancellation cover included.

Which East Midlands car parks let you keep your keys?

You keep your keys at the official JetParks, Long Stay, Mid Stay and Short Stay deals we list. You hand keys over only for the Official and Midlands Parking Meet & Greet services, where insured staff park the car off-site.

The large majority of East Midlands deals are keep-keys, suiting drivers who prefer no one else handles their vehicle. Only the Meet & Greet services take the keys, parking the car for you while you walk to departures. Every car park in the table above is bookable with us, so filter by keep-keys status, then reserve in seconds. Confirm your number plate is correct, because East Midlands uses ANPR throughout.

How much is the drop-off charge at East Midlands?

East Midlands' Rapid Drop-Off charges £5 for the first 15 minutes, then £1 per minute to a 30-minute maximum. It uses barrierless ANPR; pay online by midnight the next day. Stopping on the red-route approach roads triggers an immediate £100 PCN.

The Rapid Drop-Off lane next to the terminal has no barriers or machines, so the charge is easy to forget until a penalty arrives; pay through the official portal by the next-midnight deadline. The free alternative is Long Stay 2, with 1 hour free via a shuttle bus. For collections, never wait in the Rapid zone because flight delays rack up per-minute charges; use Short Stay 1 instead.

How much does it cost to turn up and park at East Midlands?

East Midlands Short Stay 1 turn-up costs £45 for 24 hours and £45 each day after. Mid Stay 3 turn-up is £40 for 24 hours, dropping to £20 per day on longer stays. Our pre-booked deals from £55.79 for 8 days beat the gate by up to 80%.

The gate tariff is far higher than pre-booking, which is why advance booking saves so much. Short Stay 1 turn-up rates:

Do Blue Badge holders pay to park at East Midlands?

Blue Badge holders get 30 minutes free in Short Stay 1 at East Midlands, with clearly marked accessible bays. Help points sit in every car park for wheelchair or assistance requests. Short Stay 1 is accessed on foot to and from the terminal.

East Midlands concentrates extra-wide accessible bays in Short Stay 1, the closest walkable car park to security, with a free 30-minute allowance for drop-offs. Help points in all car parks connect you to assistance for a wheelchair or further support. For longer accessible parking, standard Short Stay tariffs apply and you keep your keys. Book an accessible space with us in advance, ahead of arrival.

Is an East Midlands hotel with parking worth it?

Our East Midlands hotel-with-parking packages let you stay the night before and leave your car for the trip. The Holiday Inn is on-site with an on-demand shuttle; the Radisson Blu is a 4-5 minute covered walk; the Hilton sits at M1 Junction 24.

A Stay, Park & Fly package spares you the M1 before an early flight. The Holiday Inn at Pegasus Business Park is on-site with an on-demand shuttle; the Radisson Blu offers a 4-5 minute covered walk and underground parking; the Hilton at M1 Junction 24 runs a 10-minute terminal shuttle.

How do I drive to East Midlands Airport?

East Midlands Airport sits in Castle Donington, postcode DE74 2SA, off the M1 at Junction 23A or 24 via the A453. The A42 and A50 link the West Midlands and east. Follow on-airport signage for your specific car park.

From the north, exit the M1 southbound at Junction 24 or 23A onto the A453 to the terminal. From the south, exit northbound at Junction 23A and follow the A453 about 1.5 miles. From the West Midlands, the A42 joins the M1 at Junction 23A; from the east, the A50 meets the M1 at Junction 24. JetParks, Long Stay and Short Stay share the DE74 2SA postcode but need different final turns, so follow the directional signage once inside the perimeter, as noted in your Britain Car Parks confirmation.
