Thanks to this car park’s onsite location, it is incredibly easy to locate when taking the official route to the airport. When you exit the M1 and make your approach to East Midlands Airport, you will begin to see signs for ‘Other Car Parks,’ and then ‘Short Stay Three.’ Our detailed directions below should help you easily find the car park.
Dropping your car off couldn’t be easier:
Short Stay is a popular choice with limited availability, so book your parking in advance to reserve your space.
On the day, simply drive up to the car park barrier, and our ANPR (Automatic Number Plate Recognition) system will recognise your car's number plate and open the barrier. There's no need to take a token.
Find a space and park up, then walk the short distance to the terminal building.
Please ensure you allow time to park your car and make your way into the airport terminal.
Returning is just as easy:
Standard cars that fit within a 2.4m x 4.8m bay are accepted at Short Stay 3; motorhomes, camper vans, lorries, caravans, trailers, and oversized vehicles are not permitted. A grace period of up to 6 hours is allowed, after which an overstay charge of £20.00 per day applies.
No cancellation within 72 hours of arrival.
When you leave your vehicle behind before a trip overseas, there’s no need to worry about how secure it will be in your absence. Short Stay 3 combines a number of security measures to ensure that all vehicles are protected at all times. For example, it’s not possible to enter the vicinity unless your vehicle is registered beforehand. The electronic barriers will only lift if your number plate is known to them, thanks to ANPR technology. On top of this, the premises are watched by CCTV cameras, to monitor all activity on-site.
For those who have a Blue Badge permit, there are disability parking spaces available. These are clearly signposted and are located next to the customer entrance and exit to make life as easy as possible before your flight. However, these are limited and subject to a first-come-first-serve policy.
As a result of this car park being on-airport, there is no transfer bus service needed. Instead, you just take a short stroll over to the terminal doors, which takes only 5-7-minutes on foot.
