Pick-up & Drop-off at Manchester Airport

There are a few different options available to visitors dropping-off and picking-up at Manchester Airport. If you want to drop-off your friends and family directly outside the terminal you’ll have to pay a fee, which can steeply rise over time. However, if you would like longer with your family members you can book a short-stay parking space or use the free drop-off area which is located near a shuttle bus to the terminal doors. If you’re picking-up then the most cost-effective option is the short-stay parking area located near the terminal doors.

Cheap Short-stay Parking at Manchester Airport

Short-stay parking at Manchester Airport varies from terminal to terminal, however, all short-stay multi-storey parking areas follow the same pricing scheme. Every short-stay parking area, except the one by Terminal 3, offers parking for up to 24 hours – giving you more than enough time to wait for and collect family or friends. If you’re planning on staying for longer than 48 hours, consider long-stay.
