Looking for on-airport parking at East Midlands Airport? You've found a straightforward way to compare every official car park within the airport boundary at EMA.

The airport's on-site parking covers a genuine range, from the Short Stay and Mid Stay car parks within walking distance of the terminal, to the value-focused Long Stay and JetParks car parks a little further out, each served by a free shuttle bus. Whichever you choose, you park your own car and keep your keys for the whole trip, and we help you weigh up the right option in a matter of moments.

On-airport parking at East Midlands suits every kind of trip. Park close to the terminal for a short walk to check-in, or opt for a value car park with a quick, regular shuttle transfer. Every official car park holds the Park Mark Safer Parking Award and uses number plate recognition for smooth entry and exit, so it's always a reassuring choice.

How East Midlands Airport On-Airport Parking Works

On-airport parking at East Midlands is one of the quickest and easiest ways to park. Here's how it works.

1
Book Your On-Airport Parking Online
Search for airport parking at East Midlands. In seconds, you'll see the available car parks, so you can pick the one that suits your budget and travel dates. As soon as you've booked, a confirmation email arrives with everything you need, including a reminder to bring it with you, as the car parks read your number plate on entry.
2
Drive to the Car Park
Follow the directions to your chosen car park and pull into a free space. Set your sat nav to DE74 2SA, with the M1 and A42 both feeding onto the A453 for the final approach to the airport.
3
Park Your Car and Keep Your Keys
Leave your car in the space you've chosen, where it stays for the whole of your trip. Your keys stay with you, so there's no worry about them being mislaid or handled by anyone else while you're away.
4
Walk or Ride to the Terminal
From the Short Stay and Mid Stay car parks, it's a short walk to check-in. From the value car parks, Long Stay and JetParks, a free shuttle bus takes you in, running every 20 minutes from Long Stay and around an 8-minute ride from JetParks.
5
Check In and Fly
Once inside the terminal, make your way to the check-in desks and through security, and you'll soon be in the departure lounge. Safe travels.
6
Return Journey, Just as Easy
When you land back at East Midlands, collect your bags, walk out through arrivals, and either walk to your car or catch the shuttle back to the car park where you left it. There's no need to call for a pick-up.

East Midlands Airport On-Airport Parking Reviews

Here's what customers have to say about on-airport parking at East Midlands Airport:

Olivia McKinnon
We usually use Meet & Greet, but tried JetParks this time since our car is a bit larger. It was great value for money and extremely easy to use. Booking with Enjoy Travel was smooth.
Amir Khan
Fast and reliable. I used the Long Stay car park and the transfer was sorted in minutes. Nice start of our 2-week trip to Alicante.
Callum MacDonald
The parking here was excellent. We opted for the Short Stay option to avoid waiting around for buses. It literally took us one or two minutes to reach the terminal building on foot.
Seamus O'Connor
Exactly as advertised. Good value and a very secure place to leave the car while away.
Mei Angelson
Found the booking process via Enjoy Travel very easy. I appreciated the free cancellation policy they offer, just in case our plans fell through. Everything went smoothly on the day.
Nia Griffith
Parked at JetParks for 8 days. Easy to find from the motorway and the whole place felt very well maintained.
Christie Edwards
Used it on several occasions. There were never problems parking here for holidays. Online booking was very easy. The shuttle bus is frequent, so not much hanging around. I'd definitely recommend it.
