Leeds Bradford Airport parking: What are the car park prices and opening times, where is the cheapest car park and how much does it cost to pick up and drop off?

Leeds Bradford Airport has seven car parking options in total: Meet and Greet, Short Stay, Mid Stay, Long Stay, Premium Short Stay, Mid Stay 2 and Pick Up and Drop Off.

Meet and Greet and Long Stay parking must be booked hours in advance of arrival and you can amend or cancel your bookings for free up to 24 hours before arrival for all car parks.

You can turn up and park at the airport’s Long Stay, Short Stay and Premium Short Stay car parks. You will need tokens to exit the car parks and payment can be made at car park barriers or with cash or card in the parking payment machine where the airport reception is.

The postcode for the One Hour Free car park is LS19 7UE; you just need to follow the car park signs from Whitehouse Lane. As you enter the approach road, stay in the right lane and continue right after the barrier. This car park is located a short walking distance of three to four minutes away from the terminal.

Sometimes travellers may arrive back into the airport a little later than they expected, so Leeds Bradford Airport does allow a short grace period free of charge. If you would like to extend this period, the car park barrier on exit will calculate the overstay price for you, so you can pay for it on your way out. The short grace period does not apply to the one-hour free car park. There will be a £39 fee for stays over one hour at this car park.

There is a Special Assistance team who can help you from any of the on-site car parks if you are in need of wheelchair access, through check-in and security through to assisting to the seat on the aircraft. You can email [email protected] to discuss any needs you may have.
