What is the cheapest parking at Newcastle Airport?
The cheapest official option at Newcastle Airport is Long Stay, especially when pre-booked online from about £10.50 a day for an eight-day stay.

Ways to Pay Less for Newcastle Airport Parking
Drive-up rates are the most expensive way to park. Booking online in advance, particularly for stays of more than a day, can secure a price well below the standard tariff.
For trips lasting a day or more, pre-booked Long Stay or an off-airport Park & Ride lot is usually the most cost-effective choice. The £50 to £60 Short Stay rate only makes sense for short visits.
For pick-ups, wait in the free Airport Waiting Zone at Callerton Parkway (up to 90 minutes, with a free shuttle) until the passenger is ready, and avoid the charges at Express and Short Stay.
You can also compare off-airport Park & Ride lots near Newcastle Airport, which are frequently much cheaper than on-airport parking.
Finally, for shorter trips, it may be best to skip parking altogether. The Tyne and Wear Metro runs to Newcastle Airport station, and a taxi or rideshare can beat the cost of parking on a short break.
