top tips

Our research boffins have been busy gathering useful information for parking at Edinburgh Airport all to make your life that little bit easier.

  • Book early. Book airport parking at Edinburgh sooner rather than later - the nearer you get to your departure date, the higher the price will be.
  • See what our customers say. Every review on our site is a real opinion from a real person to help you make an informed choice.
  • On-airport car parks are conveniently located within the perimeter road with short transfer times. A great option if being close to the airport terminal is important to you.
  • Off-site car parks near Edinburgh Airport offer fantastic value with regular transfers - the perfect choice if you're planning to get there in plenty of time. A little further away from the terminal building so leave at least 30 minutes as a rule of thumb.

...Couldnt fault the service and best value around. Easy to find and convenient location...

Miss Mutch - Park And Fly Edinburgh

...i am regular customer of Low Cost Parking Edinburgh and i am always satisfied. Its near the airport and easy to find. There is never long wait for Shuttle bus. I do recommend it to everyone...

Mr STAK - Low Cost Parking Edinburgh

...Park And Fly Edinburgh make off-site airport parking easy. Having booked online and printed off the map and directions, finding the site was a doddle, even though it's a ten-minute drive from the airport. The staff are friendly, courteous and efficient. I arrived, handed.....

Mr Moore - Park And Fly Edinburgh

...Number plate recognition on arrival alleviates need for paperework. Seven bus stops in the carpark is so sensible, resulting in never being any real distance from car on departure or arrival and thus allowing for the inconsistent weather which we experience in Scotland..

Mr Canning - Secure Airparks

...My number plate was not recognised on entry but an attendant dealt with it straight away. It is nice to know your car is where you left it and not moved around as in other parks. Will definitely use this park next time...

Mrs Davies-edwards - Secure Airparks

...Couldn't be happier. Excellent service, very easy to use. Will be using again and again I think...

Mr Campbell - Secure Airparks

...Forgot to book my parking ...last flight to Frankfurt Hahn on a Saturday!....story of my life! :-) Had to be across for my god daughter's event on the Sunday morning... tried to book on other parking sites that I had been recommended ...within 24hrs not having it!.....

Mr Porter - Park And Fly Edinburgh

...have used this car park before and find peace of mind in the security no worries about leaving vehile what so ever..

Mr Patterson - Long Stay Parking

...This is the first we have used a meet and greet. The driver was there bang on time for the collection and on our return we got voicemail and left a message. Anticipating a 15 minute wait we were extremely pleased when the driver arrived within 3 minutes. There is nothing I can.....

Mr SHIPMAN - Park And Fly Personal Parking

...Park and Fly were excellent - it just a pity they have to use Edinburgh airport short stay carpark as the meeting point for meet and greet parking. There are 3 lanes - the one which is for short stay is NOT signposted and not particularly obvious. My first attempt to get in.....
