Manchester parking

We are travelling from Scotland to Manchester Airport & looking to find off-airport parking which doesn't take us too much out of the way. I have never been to MA, so not sure which parking sites to visit for quotes. Can anyone please advise?

Many thanks

    Try Clough Bank (https://www.cloughbankcarstorage.co.uk)
    We always use them when flying from Manchester, they're sited right next to the airport. I believe they do B&B if required.

  • Hiya, when I am travelling down to fly from Manchester I usually use Autostrong who are near Sale and Altrincham. They are really easy to get to and they run you to the airport in a minibus which takes about 10minutes. They were the cheapest I could find when I used them.
    Autostrong Park & Fly - 7.8 miles SW(of airport) - L & M Business Park Norman Rd, Altrincham, WA14 4ES - 0161 929 8555. Give them a ring, they usually ask if you have used them before - say yes to get a discount but they never ask when or check the details on their records (you could have been with another person who booked last time under their name and not travelling this time if you get my drift??)

    Global airport parking is who i used last time..
    http://www.gapparking.co.uk/index.php

    By far the best service i have ever had for airport parking. New executive minibusses ( no cramming onto a regular bus then waiting 15 mins for it to leave). It was waiting outside terminal when we landed ( no lugging cases to the transport interchange like you do with airparks). The car was waiting outside ( and the minibus driver even loaded the cases in the car).

    They are one of the cheapest ( £26 for a week) and your car is parked indoors.
    Unfortunately last time i booked through one of the search companies ( park and fly) which was slightly more expensive than booking direct from their website.

    I used skyparksecure on our last trip there. They're reasonably close (Styal) and offer a free transfer.

    Be wary of some companies that are a long way out... sometimes you can be waiting 40 minutes from arrival to actually getting to the airport!

  • I used the airport "long stay" car park. Big mistake for me. Cost me £53 and the car got broken into during it's 7 day stay there.

    Try "Males" - very cheap:

    They are 2 mins from T3 and will even drive you up to the airport in your own car and collect you too using the free "red" telephone in the arrivals lounge.

    Use them everytime, never had a problem in collection or to the car!!

    http://www.airparks.co.uk/ was the cheapest I could find for me, just shy of 60 pounds for 15 days. Also includes drop off and pick up at the terminal.
