Parking Options at Aberdeen Airport
Aberdeen Airport has a single passenger terminal, which makes choosing your parking straightforward. Your main decision is between convenience (parking close to the terminal) and value (parking further away with a shuttle transfer). Here is what is available.
On-Site Parking (Operated by the Airport)
Priority Parking — the closest option to the terminal. It is less than a 1-minute walk, with wider, mostly undercover bays. This is the premium choice for business travellers or anyone who wants the fastest possible route from car to check-in. Priority Parking also includes access to priority security for your whole party.
Short Stay — a multi-storey car park with over 500 spaces, located a 2-minute walk from the terminal. Most bays are undercover, so your car stays sheltered. Short Stay is ideal for weekend breaks or short business trips, but is expensive for longer stays (around £45 per day or from £79.99 per week if pre-booked).
Long Stay — the cheapest official on-site option. You park your car and take a free on-demand shuttle bus to the terminal, which takes about 5 minutes. The car park uses automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) for pre-booked customers. Weekly prices start from around £49.99 when booked in advance. Long Stay also has 24-hour staffing, CCTV and holds Police Scotland's Safe Car Park Award.
Park and Depart — an official park and ride service with shuttle transfers every few minutes. It is suited for longer trips and holidays, with prices starting from around £4.99 per day.
Off-Site Partner Parking
APH Express — a well-established off-site park and ride with a 5-minute bus transfer to the terminal. Prices start from around £5.49 per day on average. APH is a Which? Recommended Provider and has over 40 years of experience in airport parking. Our PROMOOFFER code gives you an extra saving on top.
Airparks — another off-site option offering park and ride with shuttle buses to the terminal. Airparks is often one of the cheapest choices at Aberdeen and our DISCOUNT19 code provides an additional saving when you book.
Off-site partner car parks are fully secure, independently operated facilities near the airport. They typically offer the best value, especially when combined with our discount codes.
Aberdeen Airport Drop-Off and Pick-Up Charges (Updated 2026)
Aberdeen Airport's forecourt drop-off charges increased in February 2026. Here are the current costs you need to know.
Express Drop Off
The Express Drop Off zone is directly outside the terminal. It costs £7.00 for up to 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, you are charged £1 per minute. A flat charge of £50 applies if you stay longer than 30 minutes. You pay at the exit barrier by card or contactless — there is no cash option.
How to Drop Off or Pick Up at Aberdeen Airport for Free
Yes, there is a completely free option. The Long Stay car park offers up to 1 hour of free parking. You can park there and either walk to the terminal (about 5–10 minutes) or take the free on-demand shuttle bus. This is the best option if you are picking someone up and might need to wait, or if you want to avoid the £7 Express charge entirely.
Blue Badge and Accessible Parking at Aberdeen Airport
Aberdeen Airport provides dedicated support for passengers with reduced mobility.
- Blue Badge holders receive 30 minutes of free parking in the Short Stay car park. You must present your Blue Badge at the Customer Service office to validate your ticket before you leave.
- Short Stay is recommended for dropping off passengers who need extra assistance, as it is a flat, 2-minute walk to the terminal with no shuttle required.
- Off-site partner shuttles are fully accessible for wheelchair users.
Important: the Express Drop Off zone is not free for Blue Badge holders at Aberdeen. Use the Short Stay car park instead to get your 30-minute free allowance.
EV Charging at Aberdeen Airport
There are electric vehicle charging points available in the Short Stay car park (4 units) and additional chargers in other car park areas. If you drive an electric or hybrid vehicle, Short Stay is currently the best on-site option for charging while you travel. Check availability in advance as spaces are limited.
Offshore and Energy Industry Parking
Aberdeen Airport is the main hub for the North Sea oil and gas industry, with heliport services operating alongside the main terminal. If you are flying offshore, the airport offers dedicated Offshore Parking at special rates — from around £4.00 per day. This is a separate product from the standard Long Stay or Short Stay and is designed specifically for regular offshore workers on rotation schedules.
Other Discounts (Student, Senior and Military)
- Student discount: We do not offer a separate student code. Our codes listed above typically provide a larger saving than most student-specific offers.
- Senior and OAP discount: There is no official senior discount for Aberdeen Airport parking. Pre-booking in advance and using our discount codes is the best way to save.
- Military and Armed Forces: Our discount codes are available to everyone, including serving military personnel and veterans, with no verification required.
Official vs. Partner Parking — Which Is Better Value?
Official parking (Short Stay, Long Stay, Priority) is owned and managed by Aberdeen Airport directly. Short Stay is very convenient but expensive. Long Stay is the budget on-site option, but even that is often pricier than off-site alternatives.
Partner parking (APH Express, Airparks, Park and Depart) consists of independently run, secure car parks near the airport. They are fully insured, often hold parking safety accreditations, and compete on price. With our discount codes, partner car parks will almost always offer better value than booking directly with the airport.

Yes. Blue Badge holders receive 30 minutes of free parking in the Short Stay car park. Present your badge at Customer Service to validate your ticket before you leave. The Short Stay car park is recommended for passengers needing extra assistance, as it is a 2-minute walk from the terminal with no shuttle needed.
