Helpful Advice
Choosing the right Glasgow Airport parking for you
With a range of car parks available at Glasgow International Airport, the right choice depends on what matters most to you — whether that's price, convenience, transfer time or flexibility. Here's a quick guide to help you decide.
Travelling on a budget?
Our off-airport park and ride car parks are consistently the cheapest option. Airparks Self Park and Holiday Extras Self Park both start from £5.37 per day and include free shuttle transfers to the terminal in around 6 minutes. Booking as far in advance as possible will always get you the best price.
Need to be at the terminal quickly?

If you want to be at departures within minutes of arriving, Stress Free Meet and Greet is the ultimate option — a professional driver meets you at the terminal, takes your keys, and parks your car while you head straight inside.
Travelling with children or bulky luggage?
Meet and Greet parking is ideal if you're juggling pushchairs, car seats, sports equipment or oversized bags — there's no transfer bus to navigate and no distance to cover with your luggage. Simply pull up, hand over your keys, and you're done. For families who prefer to self-park, our ShortRun options offer the quickest shuttle transfers with minimal fuss.
Travelling with reduced mobility?
Meet and Greet parking removes the need for any transfers entirely, making it the most accessible option available through Airparks. If you have specific accessibility requirements, it's worth contacting us before booking so we can make sure everything is arranged correctly for you.
Driving an electric vehicle?

Glasgow Airport — what to expect
Glasgow International Airport is Scotland's busiest airport and handles a wide mix of short-haul leisure routes alongside connections to major hubs. Here's what's useful to know before you travel.
Single terminal
Glasgow Airport has one terminal, which keeps things simple — there's no risk of heading to the wrong building, and all of the car parks available through Airparks serve the same terminal. Follow the signs for your airline's check-in zone once you're inside.
Getting through the airport
Glasgow Airport is a manageable size and easy to navigate. Security queues can build during peak morning departure times, so if you have an early flight it's worth arriving with plenty of time to spare. The airport has a good range of shops, restaurants and cafes airside, so factor in a bit of time to enjoy the departure experience once you're through.
Arriving back at Glasgow
When you land, collect your luggage and make your way to the designated car park pickup point for your chosen operator — your booking confirmation will include full instructions and a contact number. For Meet and Greet bookings, give your driver a call when you're ready and they'll bring your car straight to you.
Booking a hotel the night before?

Your parking is included for the duration of your holiday, and you'll be just minutes from the terminal when you wake up.
