Glasgow Airport express pick-up and drop-off charges to rise

From tomorrow (February 3), customers can expect to pay £7 to use these points at the travel hub for 15 minutes. This is an increase of £1.

Once this period ends, drivers will then be charged an additional £1 per minute. This fee is not new and is currently in place.

AGS Airports, which operates the site, explained that the upcoming price hike is due to “increases in its cost base” and that it appreciates this “is not a popular decision”.

The company added that all money raised will be used to “strengthen” Glasgow Airport’s connectivity and “help to attract new routes”.

Motorists are being advised that there is a free alternative at the long-stay car park, where they can park for up to an hour.

A spokesperson for Glasgow Airport said: “Due to increases in our cost base, we have taken the decision to increase our Pick Up and Drop Off charges.

"We appreciate that this is not a popular decision; however, it is important that the airport remains competitive, and all money raised serves to strengthen our connectivity and help to attract new routes.

“This will be set at £7 for 15 minutes, representing an increase of £1 from February 3, 2026. It is important to keep in mind that there is always a free alternative where customers can park for up to one hour.

“This is located in our long stay car park, and passengers can use a free, on-demand shuttle service to and from the terminal.

“The pick-up and drop-off area is intended for short visits of up to 15 minutes only. We would encourage anyone who thinks they may be longer to use the free alternative or our short-stay car park.

“Valid Blue Badge holders continue to receive 30 minutes free in our multi-storey car park.”
