Glasgow<\/a> and \u00a35.50 at Aberdeen previously.<\/p>\nAGS said at the time: “It is important to keep in mind that there is always a free alternative where customers can park for up to one hour. These are located in our long stay car parks, and passengers can use a free, on-demand shuttle service to and from the terminal.”<\/p>\n
At Glasgow and Aberdeen, the long-stay car park allows stays of an hour before a fee kicks in. Scotland’s fourth busiest airport, Inverness, still offers 15 minutes for free in its drop-off area, after which standard charges apply.<\/p>\n
Manchester and Newcastle<\/p>\n
Manchester and Newcastle are also popular airports for Scottish travellers, although most would liklely travel by public transport or book car parking. If you are getting dropped off at Manchster, the busiest British airport outside of London, it costs \u00a35 for five minutes or \u00a36.40 for up to 10 minutes. Stay any longer though, and it will set you back \u00a325. The free option is around a five-minute shuttle bus from the terminal.<\/p>\n
Newcastle charges \u00a36 for 10 minutes although there is a short stay option of \u00a34 for 15 minutes.<\/p>\n
Birmingham and Bristol<\/p>\n
The two airports after Edinburgh in the list of the UK’s busiest have very different attitudes to drop-off prices. At Bristol, it will cost \u00a38.50 for just 10 minutes, after which you’ll need to head for the short-stay car park. Birmingham, however, still has a free drop-off point around five minutes from the terminal although a ‘premium’ drop-off area right outside is available for \u00a36 for 15 minutes.<\/p>\n
London<\/p>\n
Four of the five busiest airports in the UK serve London. At Heathrow, a \u00a37 charge is applied to any vehicle entering the drop-off area with maximum stay of 10 minutes.<\/p>\n
Visitors to Gatwick face a \u00a310 charge for just 10 minutes, with a \u00a31 additional charge up to 20 minutes. Stansted Airport also charges \u00a310, albeit for 15 minutes, with a maximum stay of 30 minutes costing \u00a328. At London Luton, The Drop Off Charge is \u00a37 for 10 minutes and \u00a31 thereafter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Scotland’s busiest airport has hiked prices, blaming a huge rates increase and the lack of support from the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":954930,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8816],"tags":[1006,748,346,1102,11500,393,918,14986,4884,20665,257,2465,712,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-954929","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-edinburgh","8":"tag-aberdeen","9":"tag-britain","10":"tag-cars","11":"tag-edinburgh","12":"tag-edinburgh-airport","13":"tag-england","14":"tag-glasgow","15":"tag-glasgow-airport","16":"tag-great-britain","17":"tag-inverness","18":"tag-london","19":"tag-manchester","20":"tag-scotland","21":"tag-uk","22":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/116561959606190836","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/954929","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=954929"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/954929\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/954930"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=954929"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=954929"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=954929"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
