Car Park 1

Car Park 1 is the closest car park to the terminal - it's just a two-minute walk away.

Directly opposite the terminal, Car Park 1 is the most convenient car park at Birmingham airport. Just follow the zebra crossing into the airport.

Parking is easy. Grab your ticket from the machine, glide in through the automatic number plate recognition barriers, then park wherever you see an empty space.

There are disabled spaces on the ground level - just make sure you display your badge while you're away. The whole car park has disabled access, with a lift between every level and departures. The spaces work on a first come first served basis.

You can keep your keys, which means your car won't move from where you leave it.

Car Park 1 is an official Birmingham airport car park. That means it has airport security like 24-hour patrols, barriers, fencing and CCTV.

What do you do if the barrier doesn't lift?
If the ANPR system doesn't recognise your car's registration, or there are any problems getting in or our of the car park, press the button for assistance and someone will help you.

Hints, tips and extra bits:

We also offer parking at Car Parks 2 & 3, next door to Car Park 1. They usually cost a fraction less and are a fraction further from the terminal - but still just a three-minute walk away.

The gate rate for the car park is currently Â£33.50 per 24 hours, subject to change.

The car park cannot accommodate vehicles over 2.15m tall.

[date from=2017-02-24 to=2017-05-19]Due to redevelopment work at Birmingham airport travel around the airport may take longer than normal. We'd recommend you allow at least an extra 30 minutes to get to the airport, particularly at peak times.[/date]

Remember to put your ticket somewhere safe as you'll need it when you return.
