Cardiff Airport Parking Types

Cardiff Airport has one main, easy-to-navigate terminal. This means your parking choice is a simple one between convenience and value.

Cardiff Meet & Greet Discount: The Easiest Way to Park

This is the most seamless parking option, perfect for travellers who want to avoid any stress. It's the top choice for families, business travellers, or anyone with heavy luggage.

How Meet & Greet Works:

1. Drive to the Terminal: You'll drive your own car directly to the designated "Meet & Greet" area, just outside the terminal.
2. Meet Your Driver: A professional, fully-insured driver will be waiting. They'll confirm your details, take your keys, and complete a quick vehicle check.
3. Walk to Check-in: You are now just a 1-2 minute walk from the check-in desks.
4. On Your Return: After you land and get your luggage, you'll call the number provided. Your car will be brought to the collection point, ready for you to drive home.

Our 20% off voucher makes this premium service surprisingly affordable, often competing with the price of the official on-site "Short Stay" car park.

Cardiff Park and Ride Discount: The Best Option for Value

This is the most popular choice for cheap Cardiff parking. These secure car parks are located just a short bus ride from the airport and offer fantastic savings.

How Park & Ride Works:

1. Drive to the Car Park: You'll navigate to the secure, off-site car park's address (not the airport terminal).
2. Park & Shuttle: You'll park your car, and a free, regular shuttle bus will take you to the terminal. These buses run 24/7, usually every 15-20 minutes, and the transfer time is typically 5-10 minutes.
3. On Your Return: You'll head back to the same bus stop where you were dropped off and take the shuttle back to the car park to collect your car.

This is the definitive budget-friendly option. Our DISCOUNT26 code makes these already-low prices even better.

Drop-Off & Pick-Up Charges

This is a critical piece of information. Cardiff's drop-off and pick-up zones are strictly controlled and can be expensive if you don't know the rules.

• Drop-Off Zone: This is the most expensive option, right outside the terminal.
• Price: £3.00 for 10 minutes. (Note: This is cheaper than many other UK airports, but still charged).
• Payment: You pay at a barrier on exit.

• Pick-Up Zone: This is the designated pick-up zone, a 1-2 minute walk from the terminal.
• Price: £3.00 for 10 minutes. (It is the same zone as drop-off).

How to Drop Off & Pick Up at Cardiff Airport for Free

Yes, there is a 100% free option for both drop-off and pick-up.

• Location: The "Car Park 2" (formerly known as Long Stay).
• How it works: This car park offers 20 minutes of free parking.
• The Catch: It is a short walk to the terminal building. This is the best option for a budget-conscious drop-off where you're not in a rush, and it's also the best place for pick-up, as 20 minutes gives you a good buffer.

Accessible & Blue Badge Parking at Cardiff

Cardiff provides good support for passengers with reduced mobility.

• Blue Badge Holders: Please note that the main Drop-Off Zone is not free. To get free parking, you must use Car Park 2 (which allows 20 minutes free for all users).
• Assistance: Special assistance points are available in all car parks to call for help if you need a wheelchair or support getting to the terminal.
• Meet & Greet: This is an excellent choice for passengers needing assistance, as you are met right at the terminal.
• Park & Ride: All partner shuttle buses are fully accessible for wheelchairs.

Other Discounts (Student, Senior & Military)

Our 20% off code is designed to be the best deal for everyone, saving you the time of searching for a niche discount.

• Cardiff Parking Student Discount: We don't offer a specific student code, as our DISCOUNT26 voucher already provides a 20% saving, which is typically a larger discount.
• Senior / OAP Discount: To get the best price, simply pre-book your parking using our 20% off voucher.
• Military & Armed Forces Discount: As a thank-you, our 20% discount is available for all armed forces members.

"Official" vs. "Partner" Parking at Cardiff

You will see "Official Cardiff Car Park 1" or "Car Park 2" parking advertised. Here’s the difference.

• Official Parking: These are owned by the airport. "Car Park 1" (formerly Short Stay) is closer but more expensive. "Car Park 2" (formerly Long Stay) is the official budget option.
• Partner Parking: These are independent, specialist car parks (like our partner Britaincarparks.co.uk) located near the airport. They are fully secure, often hold the 'Park Mark' award, and compete directly on price and service quality.

With our 20% off code, our partner car parks will almost always offer superior value for money.
