Edinburgh Airport Parking Discount Code — 2026

How much can you save at Edinburgh Airport?

Eight days at Edinburgh costs about £84 at the barrier and £50 pre-booked in Long Stay. Code BCP25 takes that to £40. The code is worth £10; booking ahead is worth £34.

Edinburgh's off-site market is thinner than an English airport of comparable size, which keeps prices slightly higher than Birmingham or Bristol for the same stay length. The compensating advantage is transfer time: because almost everything is on the airport site, Edinburgh has the shortest average transfer of any P1 airport in this set.

Edinburgh is the only UK airport with a tram stop directly outside the terminal door, which makes its free drop-off alternative unusually easy to reach on foot and changes the maths for anyone dropping off without parking.

Car parks our Edinburgh codes work at

Edinburgh is the highest-volume airport in this set with the smallest operator cluster — 7,460 searches a month against three car park pages. Fast Park alone carries 340 monthly searches and the official airport product has no page at all, which is the largest single content gap on the site.

NHS discount at Edinburgh Airport parking

Edinburgh generates around 880 eligibility searches a month, the second highest in this set after Manchester, and it is the airport where the honest answer matters most because the volume of people looking is so high. NHS Scotland trusts do not negotiate airport parking discounts, and the airport's own car parks have no scheme. The public code is the better route and it is available to everyone.

Does the Blue Light Card work at Edinburgh?

Blue Light Card offers covering Edinburgh appear from time to time through the national booking platforms, but Scotland-specific parking offers are rarer than English ones because fewer operators run Scottish sites. Where an offer exists, check whether it covers the airport's own Long Stay, which is usually the product excluded.

Edinburgh drop-off and pick-up charges 2026

Edinburgh Airport charges £6 for up to 10 minutes in the terminal drop-off zone. The free alternative is the Mid Stay car park, which allows a free period and is a short walk from the terminal.

Pick-ups are charged identically at Edinburgh but cost more in practice — wait at the Mid Stay car park and let the shuttle bring them to you. Charges are set by the airport and reviewed annually — background on Edinburgh Airport, and our UK drop-off charges guide compares all 20 airports in one table.

Blue Badge and accessible parking at Edinburgh

Blue Badge holders pay the standard tariff at Edinburgh. Accessible bays are in the Short Stay car park closest to the terminal entrance, a walk of two to three minutes on the level. Edinburgh's single-level layout makes it one of the easier Scottish airports for anyone with limited mobility.

For the same answer at the other nineteen airports, see the Blue Badge parking guide.

Edinburgh terminals and getting there

Edinburgh has one terminal. Its car parks run in a straightforward tier: Short Stay is a covered walk, Mid Stay a longer walk or short shuttle, and Long Stay a shuttle ride. The airport's own Long Stay is the cheapest on-airport option, and the off-site independents sit a few pounds below it. Because everything is on one site, transfer times at Edinburgh are shorter and more reliable than at airports with dispersed off-site car parks.

Ryanair, easyJet and Jet2 carry the bulk of short-haul traffic, British Airways runs the London shuttle from a dedicated set of stands, and Delta and United provide the transatlantic services that peak in summer.

Edinburgh Airport sits west of the city beside the M8, reached from Junction 2. Set your satnav to EH12 9DN. Typical drive times are 20 minutes from Edinburgh city centre, 50 from Glasgow, an hour from Stirling and around 90 minutes from Dundee. The M8 approach is straightforward; the reliable delay is the Gogar roundabout complex on the airport's doorstep, which carries tram, road and airport traffic through the same junctions.

How to use your Edinburgh parking discount code

Four steps, and the order matters — the code goes in before payment, not after.

• 1
  Copy the code
  Use the copy button on any Edinburgh deal above. Every one is BCP25.
• 2
  Enter exact times
  Edinburgh prices by the hour from your drop-off time, so a 6am return costs less than a 6pm one on the same day.
• 3
  Check the total drops
  £47 should become £38 on Fast Park before you reach the payment step.
• 4
  Enter the flight code
  This is what holds your Edinburgh space if the inbound flight lands late.

If the total does not move when you apply the code, try it on an off-site Edinburgh operator before assuming it is dead. Official Long Stay is the product most often excluded from platform-wide offers, and an exclusion looks exactly like an expiry from the checkout. Our guide to why airport parking discount codes fail lists every cause we see.

Student, senior and military discounts at Edinburgh

No Edinburgh operator runs a student, senior or military scheme. Edinburgh's local alternative is genuinely worth considering: the tram runs from the terminal door to the city centre for a few pounds, and for a solo traveller from Edinburgh or West Lothian, not parking is frequently cheaper than any code.
