All UK airports have implemented parking drop-off and pick-up fees.


These parking fees need to be paid on the day of your travel, typically before midnight. This new system aims to streamline airport operations, but it can be a hassle for travellers.


If you happen to forget to pay the parking fee.


If forgotten you will receive a demand for an unpaid parking charge, which is usually set at £100. Fortunately, there is a discounted rate of £60 if you make the payment within 14 days of receiving the parking charge.

UK Airports with drop-off parking zones

Almost all major UK airports now charge a fee for "express" drop-off zones


Drop-off zones are located directly outside the terminal buildings. While the specific charges and policies vary, here is a list of UK airports that charge for this service, along with their typical fees for a short stay.


London Airports

  • London Gatwick (LGW): Charges £7 for a 10-minute drop-off.
  • London Heathrow (LHR): Charges a flat £6 fee per entry to the terminal drop-off zones.
  • London Luton (LTN): Charges £5 for up to 5 minutes, with additional fees for longer stays.
  • London Stansted (STN): Charges £7 for up to 15 minutes.
  • London Southend (SEN): Charges £7 for up to 5 minutes.
  • London City (LCY): Is an exception, as it still offers free drop-off directly outside the terminal, but with no waiting allowed.
