What is the cheapest parking at Manchester Airport?
The cheapest official option at Manchester Airport is JetParks, the long stay car parks served by a free shuttle bus running 24 hours a day. Pre-booked JetParks prices are commonly listed from around £5 to £8 a day, and off-airport Park & Ride car parks near the airport can be similar or slightly cheaper.
Ways to Pay Less for Manchester Airport Parking
Turn-up rates are the most expensive way to park. Booking online in advance is by far the biggest saving, and Mid Stay is pre-book only, so there is no turn-up option there.
For trips lasting two days or more, JetParks or an off-airport Park & Ride lot is usually the most cost-effective choice; the shuttle adds a little time but delivers the biggest savings. The multi-storey turn-up rate of £63.40 a day only makes sense for short, unplanned visits.
For pick-ups, the Terminal 2 Express Pick Up costs £6.60 for up to 15 minutes, which is much cheaper than paying the turn-up tariff for a longer stay.
You can also compare off-airport Park & Ride lots near Manchester Airport, which are frequently much cheaper than on-airport parking.
Finally, for shorter trips, it may be best to skip parking altogether. Manchester Airport has its own railway station and a Metrolink tram stop, and a taxi or rideshare can beat the cost of parking on a short break.
