Short stay at East Midlands 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.
Almost every car park serving East Midlands is within a short drive of the terminal. Use the map to get your bearings before travel day.

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.
