Types of airport parking

Meet and Greet

Meet and Greet parking offers the ultimate convenience for travellers looking for a seamless airport experience. With this service, you drive directly to the terminal, where a professional valet meets you, takes your car, and parks it in a secure facility.

Park and Ride

Park and Ride is a cost-effective option for travellers looking to save money while ensuring their vehicle is in a secure location. You park your car at an off-site facility and take a complimentary shuttle to the terminal. These shuttles run frequently, ensuring minimal wait times.

On-Site Parking

For those who prefer to park as close to the terminal as possible, on-airport parking is the best choice. This type of parking is typically within walking distance of check-in areas.
