Short Stay 1 East Midlands Airport
Official on-site parking right by the East Midlands Airport terminal, ideal for short trips and anyone who wants a quick, convenient start to their journey.
How Short Stay 1 Works
Short Stay 1 is a simple, official on-site car park just moments from the East Midlands Airport terminal. As you arrive, the barrier scans your number plate, matches it to your booking and rises on its own, which can take a few seconds. Pull into any free space, keep your keys with you, and walk the short one to five minutes to the terminal, no shuttle bus required.
Coming back is just as easy. Return to your car where you left it, drive up to the exit, and the barrier lifts automatically to send you on your way home.

- Facilities: Turn up and park, or pre-book; keep your own keys throughout

Booked our parking at East Midlands Airport through Enjoy Travel. Short Stay 1 was simple to find. The automatic barriers worked instantly, making the whole arrival process very easy.

Decent parking facility. It's a self-park option, so I was happy that we got to keep our own keys while we were away.
Priya Kapoor
A very secure and well-lit car park. I felt completely comfortable leaving my car here during my business trip.

Excellent parking option. We booked via Enjoy Travel because they offered a free cancellation policy up to 72 hours beforehand. Short Stay 1 is literally a stone's throw from the East Midlands terminal.

I always opt for Short Stay 1 when flying out of East Midlands. It's perfect for a short trip, and the convenience of a short walk to check-in is unbeatable.

The car park was easy to locate and I liked that I didn't have to hand my keys over to anyone. It's a straightforward service.
Nina McAllister
Good value for money considering how close it is to the airport. Pre-booking guaranteed our spot so we didn't have to drive around looking for a space.
Declan O'Connor
The easiest start to a holiday. Pulled up, the barrier lifted, parked the car, and walked across to the terminal in a matter of moments. Highly recommend.
