Parking, Birmingham Airport - Vito Van

Posts: 491 Forumite


We have a Vito Sport which happily carries our family togetherskis/mountain bikes to France and is our "family car" ... but the logbook rightly says it is a commercial vehicle and it is just over 5 metres long.
In May we are travelling to Greece from Birmingham Airport and would like to stay for one night on our return.
We have looked at many comparison sites to (Moneysave) but basically can't find anywhere to park the car/van. All details (when tabbing "other information" say No Commercial Vehicles and or "must fit in a standard parking space of 2.4 x 4.8 !
Because of the return time we would go for Meet and Greet but can't find anything that will allow our vehicle.
Can anyone help?

Find a residential street within a few miles of the airport, park it there, and get a taxi.
Residents may not like it but if its a public road you can park where you please.1 -
I'll check out the driveway parking, thanks. Not so sure I'd be happy leaving it on a road!0

Ive no idea if it would be allowed or fit but have you checked out the Avanti carpark at the Birmingham International train station. A short free ride on the maglev to the airport. There is definitely a hight restriction as there is a gate you drive under to go In.1
