Types of Airport Parking
Deciding what type of parking best suits you is essential to a hassle-free parking experience. Here's a quick overview of the types of parking we offer, so you can make an informed choice:
Top Deals on Meet & Greet Airport Parking
Also known as Valet Parking, Meet & Greet is a luxury service that ensures your trip to the airport runs smoothly, with nowasting time hunting around for a parking space.
- Head to the terminal: Drive directly to the terminal, or to an agreed meeting point, which will be detailed before you make your booking so you know exactly where to go.
- Hand over your keys: You will be met by a driver, who will take your keys and whisk your car away while you stroll to the check-in desks.
- Relax!: Enjoy your trip! Your car has been safely and professionally parked.
- Collect your car when you return: When you return, you may need to call the Meet & Greet company to let them know you're on the way. You will be met at an agreed point where you can collect your keys and cars, and head off home.
On-site Airport Parking
On-site parking is as close as you can get to the terminal without a Meet & Greet package.
- Head to the car park: Head to your booked car park close to the airport terminal.
- Get parked up: You'll either need to park up in any free space, or inside an arrival lane. Some car parks you will need to check in with reception, and others, you can just get going.
- Head to the terminal: Once you've walked to the terminal, it's time for your holiday to begin.
- Collect your car when you return: When you return, head back to the car park, collect your keys if you dropped them off, find your vehicle, and set off for home!
Best Value Park & Rides
Though usually a little further away than other parking options, Park & Ride is still super convenient, and often a better price. With Park & Ride, you leave your vehicle in a car park off airport grounds, and catch a shuttle bus transfer to your terminal, usually included in the price. This is a great way to save money without sacrificing security and quality.
- Head to your chosen car park: Head to your chosen Park and Ride service
- Park and check in: Park your car in a secure space and check in at reception if you need to. Alternatively, you may need to park your car in a queue lane and hand over your keys, depending on your chosen car park.
- Bus to the terminal: Hop on the free shuttle bus and enjoy a super speedy transfer to Departures.
- Relax!: You can enjoy your trip knowing your car is safely parked for the duration of your time away.
- Shuttle back on return: When you return, catch the shuttle transfer from the terminal back to the car park and collect your car.

Money Saving Tips
We know nobody wants to pay through the nose for their extras for their trip. That's why we're dedicated to making sure you find the cheapest offers on the web as easily as possible. Have a look at our money saving tips below, so you have all the tools you need to find the best deals for the cheapest prices.
- 1) Book in Advance: Make sure you book your airport parking as early as you can to avoid soaring rates and last minute prices. By booking with Purple Parking as soon as your holiday is confirmed, you could save up to 70% compared to if you were to book on the day. Never pay at the gate if you can avoid it, as this is when airport parking charges can really break the bank.
- 2) Book a Park & Ride Service: Park your car in a secured site a little further away from the airport. As they are not on airport grounds, they are often cheaper, and the easy shuttle transfer services mean it's not any more hassle than parking on-site.
- 3) Book a Hotel & Parking Package: Not only can you save worrying about the morning traffic, but by combining your overnight stay with your airport parking, you can save a heap of cash. In fact, our room & parking packages are such good value, a night's stay and week's parking can often work out at a similar price to parking alone!
- 4) Sign up for a Discount: That's right - you can save even more by signing up for a whopping 15% discount on top of our already huge savings. Have a look at the search engine to the left of the page, where you'll find a sign-up box at the bottom. Simply enter your email and wait for the savings to hit your inbox!
- 5) Take Advantage of our Never Beaten on Price Guarantee: If you find the same deal cheaper elsewhere on the web within 24-hours of booking, let us know and we'll refund the difference!
- 6) Book a Non-Flexible Deal: If your holiday is confirmed and you're 100% certain you won't need to cancel, you could save an extra few quid by booking an un-refundable and non-amendable package. Once you've hit 'get my quote' on our search engine, you'll be shown all of our available packages for your chosen airport. Our non-amendable, non-refundable packages will be detailed here.

Mr Russell - ★★★★★
We always use Purple parking for our trips abroad from Stansted and we always pre-book.
Our experience of having parking pre-booked makes the process of parking and then leaving on our return absolutely seamless. We have never had any issues.
The bus service from the mid stay car park is also very good.
Mrs Nichols - ★★★★★
Excellent meet & greet parking via Purple Parking
Alison B - ★★★★★
If I'm honest I was sceptical about using them because the price a lot cheaper than all the other parking around stansted. But decided to risk it. Definitely worth it! Very easy to book online. Easy to locate with google maps. I got the days wrong on my parking (we were 1 day late picking up the car) they didn't mind. Said it was an easy mistake and were generally really lovely about it. Staff were wonderful, very chatty. I will definitely be using them again. Very happy :)
Robyn James - ★★★★★
Parking is never a cheap experience at UK airports but I think Purple Parking offers easy access, generous space for larger cars, so less car park dents upon your return. Some distance from the Stansted Terminal but a frequent bus service makes this acceptable as does the price
Mr Parr - ★★★★★
We have used purple parking a few times now, not had a problem either at Gatwick or Stansted airport and the bonus is by booking ahead we get it a lot cheaper so it's a win win !
Ms Bell - ★★★★★
Can't really fault Purple Parking
Salap - ★★★★★
I'd always had a fear of parking at Heathrow Airport and handing the keys to my 'pride & joy' over to someone I don't know was a frightening prospect. With Purple parking, I need not have worried. Very easy process to follow, very quick drop off and pick up and the staff were absolutely brilliant and you could not get closer to the terminal. Highly recommended!
Mr Field - ★★★★★
1st time I've used purple parking and I found them really good, we parked at Heathrow and everything went great, really impressed and a very good price, highly recommend
Mr Saunders - ★★★★★
I have used purple parking twice in the last 2 weeks. Jet parks at Manchester and air parks at Birmingham. Both times were brilliant. Manchester bus drivers were extremely friendly and helpful. Birmingham staff too were helpful at checking us into the carpark and very friendly. Will definitely be using again in the future.
Ms Griffiths - ★★★★★
... Never been rushed for a flight and never had to wait more than 10 minutes upon return, even during peak/ unsociable hours. They come highly recommended and will continue to be my first choice.
Mr Brady - ★★★★★
We have used JetParks at Manchester airport several times and it's so easy and quick.
Purple parking also always have the best prices and the site is so easy to use.
Ms Richards - ★★★★★
