Drive up to the barrier, which will rise automatically. Stay in your car while one of the Airparks team checks you in and directs you to where you need to park. Make sure you make a note of where you've parked for when you get back. You'll be given a ticket which you'll need to keep safe and you'll need to keep hold of your keys too.
Walk to the nearest bus stop to catch the shuttle bus to the terminal. The included shuttle bus runs every 25 minutes between 3am and 2am and takes around 14 minutes. If you need the bus outside of these times give the car park a call and they'll collect you. If you have sports equipment or lots of luggage, you may need to wait for a bus with more space during busy times, so make sure you leave yourself plenty of time to get to the airport.
Please let Airparks know before you arrive if you require any assistance or if your vehicle has been adapted for accessibility purposes.
Most standard cars (without trailers/not commercial vehicles or large vehicles) will be accepted at the car park as long as they are under 2.1m, 2m wide and 5m long. If your vehicle is bigger than the maximum (around the size of a Range Rover Sport), take a look at our Larger Vehicles package. The car park can't accept any high-sided vehicles, minibuses, mobile homes, lorries, caravans, trailers or vehicles larger than the maximum.
We recommend you check the
Birmingham NEC exhibition centre website to see if there is an event arranged for your day off travel before you fly. The NEC, which you'll pass on your way to the airport, attracts a lot of traffic, so allow extra time for your journey if an event is scheduled.
Early or late? The car park offers a grace period until midnight at their discretion. Any longer than this and you'll be charged the car park's standard rate of £20 per day. This 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.
