- Choose on-airport parking for convenience. These car parks are located within Birmingham Airport's perimeter road and are a good all-round time saving option, especially the Short term car park as is it within walking distance!
- Choose off-site parking to save even more. Off-site car parks are a little further from the airport but our prices make this a cracking value option for those looking for cheaper parking near Birmingham Airport, but with a little extra time on their hands.
- Dropping off your favourite Auntie? Use the convenient "Drop & Go" car park adjacent to the terminal buildings - costing £1 for 15 minutes, or £2 for 30 minutes, it's a quick and convenient option.
- Grab 15 minutes free parking. Look out for the Long Stay car park 1. Follow signs to the drop-off point by the customer waiting room and passengers can catch the courtesy bus or take a short walk to the terminals.
- Picking up passengers. Use the Multi-storey Short and Medium Stay car parks 1, 2 or 3 just across the road from the terminals.

Some facts about Birmingham Airport
- The airport identification code for Birmingham International Airport is BHX, and is sometimes shown on holiday booking confirmations and tickets.
- In 2009, Birmingham Airport celebrated its 70th year of operation with its first flight taking to the skies in May 1939.
- July 1991 saw the opening of the Birmingham International Airport's second terminal - the Eurohub.
- On March 3rd 2000, Her Majesty, The Queen, accompanied by The Duke of Edinburgh, officially opened a £40 million terminal development, which provided a two-storey arrivals concourse linking the two passenger terminals for the first time, and a new pier with three glass-sided air bridges, 16 new check-in desks, a new baggage reclaim hall with 6 carousels, 12 new catering and retail outlets, and new Customs and Immigration halls.
- To handle future growth and aspirations to reach all corners of the globe, the airport embarked on a £45 million state-of-the-art extension to Terminal One in June 2007. The new 'International Pier' will replace the current out-dated facility constructed in 1984. It is the single biggest investment that the Airport has made in over 20 years.
We like to think we're a little different from your average comparison service. It's not because we dress up like famous people on Tuesdays, or because we put goat's milk in our tea - it's because we reach the parts other comparison sites don't.
