Short stay at Aberdeen means parking for a brief trip: overnight, a weekend, or a couple of days. The public short-stay car park is priced for a few hours at the kerb, and the barrier rate is usually the dearest way through the airport. Pre-booked Meet & Greet or on-airport parking is the practical alternative for a night or two.
Your confirmation names the reception or car park. Follow that, not the public short-stay signs, unless short stay is the product you booked.
Meet & Greet is usually the fastest short stay: drive to the reception named on your voucher, hand the keys to an insured driver, and walk into check-in. On-airport parking is the next closest option when it is listed for your dates.
Do not follow signs for the public short-stay or drop-off loop unless that is the product on your confirmation. The voucher names the reception or car park you actually booked.
Not always. Official short stay is one on-site product. This page also compares Meet & Greet and other close-in options used for short trips.
The product and your confirmation name the car park or reception. Use that address on the day, and check the terminal printed on your ticket before you travel.
Only if that car park is named on your confirmation. Most bookings use a specific reception or compound.
Change your mind in the first 24 hours after booking and cancel without a charge. After that a cancellation fee applies, and the operator's own terms continue to apply.
Every operator on A2Z is checked before it is listed, and the security features of each car park are shown on the product so you can see what you are booking.
Your confirmation arrives by email as soon as the booking completes, with the address, the arrival instructions and the contact number for the car park.
The price you compare is the price you pay. Any checkout charges known to us, including airport access fees, are shown before you reach the payment step.
A UK based team has been handling A2Z bookings for more than 9 years, and they are reachable by phone and email if anything about your booking needs changing.

Aberdeen carries an unusual mix of business and energy sector traffic alongside leisure travel, and that shapes its parking market. Weekday demand is steadier than at a purely leisure airport, which makes advance booking valuable at times of year when other airports are quiet.
Business and offshore related travel keeps Aberdeen busy midweek throughout the year, so the quiet season that other regional airports enjoy is less pronounced. Do not assume a February Tuesday will be cheap simply because it would be elsewhere. Book it.
The airport sits at Dyce with a clear run in on the A96, and the compounds serving it are close by with short transfers. Given how little time the transfer costs you, the lower daily rate of Park and Ride is easy value at Aberdeen.
North east Scotland in January is not the place to shave a few minutes off your budget by parking further out. A compound with a short, reliable transfer is worth a modest premium in the winter months, and it is a genuine consideration rather than an upsell.
As everywhere in Scotland, the school calendar runs to different dates than England and Wales, with an earlier summer break and a distinct October week. Checking those dates before you book avoids walking into a peak you did not know existed.
