How it works:
- Drive to your chosen car park and check in
- Load your luggage onto the transfer bus
- Enjoy a short ride to the terminal
- On your return, catch the shuttle back to the car park
- Collect your car and continue your journey home

Many on-site car parks are within walking distance, while others provide a quick transfer service. They're ideal if convenience and proximity are your top priorities.
Benefits of on-site parking:
- Located on airport grounds
- Shorter transfer times
- Some car parks are walk-to-terminal
- Quick and convenient access to departures
