The airport's own Short Stay car parks are just behind the departure building, less than a 5-minute walk away. Park, keep your keys and catch your flight, secure in the knowledge that your car will be protected by hourly patrols and CCTV while you're away on your well-earned break. When you get back, just walk to your car and drive off. Airport parking as simple as a trip to the shops.
Security measures
Short Stay 3 is patrolled every hour, 24 hours a day by security guards and has 24-hour CCTV, entry and exit barriers, a fence and lighting at night. It has been awarded the Park Mark, a security award for car parks which is accredited by the police.

Parking address

East Midlands airport, Castle Donington, Castle Donington DE74 2SA, GB

Instructions

Drive up to the entry barrier and wait for the machine to read your number plate - this can take up to a minute. The barrier will open, so you can drive in and park. If nothing happens after a minute, press the button marked "assistance" so you can speak to a member of staff through the intercom. They'll ask you to confirm your details. Don't insert your credit or debit card into the barrier at any point or you will be charged again for your parking.Also, don't press the ticket button, as this will stop you being able to gain entry.

Once you're through the barrier find a space and keep your keys. From there walk to the terminal, following the signs. It will take about 5-7 minutes.
We recommend removing any hand sanitiser from your car while you're away - during hot weather it can become flammable.

Early or late? The car park offers a 6 hour grace period at their discretion. Any longer than this and you'll be charged the car park's standard rate of £20 per day, which is subject to change.

Help us go green! There's no need to print out your booking confirmation, just show it on your mobile device.

Most standard cars (without trailers/not commercial vehicles) will be accepted at the car park as long as they fit in a standard-size parking bay (2.4m x 4.8m).

Transfers
The car park is within walking distance of the terminal, so transfers aren't needed.
