Short-term parking:
the short-term parking lot at East Midlands Airport is located next to the terminal entrance and within easy walking distance. On the way in is a convenient drop-off point with free parking for the first half-hour. The spaces here can't be pre-booked, but drivers can pay with a credit card before exiting.
Medium-term parking:
branded the Executive car parks, this collection of four car parks is best suited for stays of up to four days of parking. Walking from here to the terminal is possible, but complimentary shuttles take drivers back and forth. The Executive car park can be pre-booked (tel: +44 871 919 9000).
Long-term parking:
parking for five days or more is cause to reserve at space at the long-term car park. The daily rate is most affordable, and even greater savings can be secured by booking online. Otherwise, it is a good idea to call ahead (tel: +44 871 919 9000) to be sure that space is available during busy travel periods.
Drop off and valet parking:
