Cheap Airport Parking: Birmingham / E Midlands Airports hints, tips and local parking

Thanks for the tip. It a shame it's only valid on the long stay car park. Grrrr....

Any more codes out there for the short stay??

Thanks all.

The form for booking car parking at East Midlands airport now has a 'promo code' field for entering discounts but I can't seem to find any valid codes for entry.

Does anyone know of any valid promo codes?

OK - No luck with the promotional codes, but I did manage to find a deal for the short stay, that works out cheaper than online.

They have a deal on for 8 days for £66 (8 days exactly! - put in 8 days and 1 hr and it charges you £99 which is the normal online rate for 9 days!)

I rang customer services and asked what happens if I book the deal, and the flight is delayed, or I go over the 8 days? Worst case scenario - you have to pay for an additional day at full rate (£19 a day), or best case they may just charge you for the additional hours.

Either way is a winnner ... £66 + £19 = £85 saving £14 off the best online rate.

To get this rate, you need to book online otherwise there is a £2.50 telephone booking charge.

Hope this helps someone.:beer:

Try putting in 15 days, it quotes £79.99 in the short stay car park, but that is in 3 weeks time, end of October.

Anyone over 50 years old has a right to check out airport parking fees using SAGA's website. I have found considerable savings for EMA and MAN airparks . Cheaper than Holiday Extras!

Speaking at someone who flew 33 times from BHX this year (and 8 from EME) I've ended up a reluctant expert in every variation of midlands airport carparking. My final conclusion -

Get the train!

Birmingham airport has a dedicated train station (Birmingham International) attached (a direct monorail connection 5 minutes away that leaves every two minutes.). If you live within a short taxi distance of any train station with a direct line to Brum, and if you flights are leaving/landing in Brum between 8am and 9pm then you will likely save a heap getting the train booked (unless you were coming with a people carrier full), have a stress free journey, and be able to have booze on the plane.

For EME public transport isn't a convinient option. I always found the onsite parking reasonably priced in comparison to elsewhere and mercifully always walkable to the terminal rather than having to wait for a bus. You probably can get cheaper elsewhere, but it would have to be a significant saving to save the hassle of waiting to get picked up. I had a number of bad experiences waiting forever for purple parking busses from Heathrow last year and it has put me off trying them anywhere else...

Just used this to book our parking for July, Bham Long stay £40.66 for 15 days. It has worked out a lot cheaper than the quotes i was getting via the search engines.
Thanks for the tip
