Park the car yourself at a nearby compound and take a short shuttle to the terminal. Usually the better value once you are away for a week or more.

Official car parks inside the airport boundary, run by the airport or an approved operator. The shortest journey from the car to the check-in desk.

Independent compounds a short drive from the terminals. Lower prices than the official car parks, with a transfer built into the journey.
See this parking type →East Midlands sits directly between the M1 and the A42 and draws passengers from across the Midlands and South Yorkshire. It is a straightforward airport to park at cheaply, provided you book in advance and are not set on the closest possible space.
Because the airport sits so close to the motorway network, the compounds serving it are genuinely a few minutes away rather than a long haul. That makes the off airport options unusually easy to recommend here: the transfer is short, and the daily rate is meaningfully lower.
East Midlands is a leisure heavy airport, so its demand curve is seasonal rather than steady. The summer weeks and the school half terms are when the cheaper stock disappears. A month or two of notice through those periods is where the saving lives.
For a fortnight away, focus on the daily rate and take the transfer. For a two night trip, the fixed convenience of Meet and Greet is spread across fewer days and the gap narrows sharply. Compare both for your actual dates instead of applying a rule of thumb.
East Midlands is one of the country's busiest cargo airports, and the site is active around the clock in a way that a purely passenger airport is not. It rarely affects parking directly, but it does mean the roads immediately around the airport are busier at unusual hours than you might expect.
