Pick-up and drop-off car parking at Manchester Airport

There is a strict "no waiting" policy on all roads around the terminal buildings at Manchester Airport. All pick-ups must take place at the designated car park for each terminal. There are height restrictions of 2.0 metres (6 feet 6 inches) in force on some of the terminal approach routes, overheight vehicles are therefore advised to follow the signs to the short stay surface car park, adjacent to the multi-storey car park.

• Terminal 1 Pick-up should take place in the surface car park located outside arrivals and adjacent to the multi-storey car park. Drop-offs are advised to follow the signs on route.
• Terminals 2 and 3 Pick-up's are directed to the ground level of the multi-storey car park. Drop-offs are advised to follow the signage on route.
