Durham Tees Valley Airport Parking

If you want safe, secure, and convenient parking when flying out from Durham Tees Airport, the onsite car parks provide an ideal solution. You can get great deals on your parking to help keep costs down. You can also benefit from being very close to the terminal building, which saves you time and hassle. Vehicles are monitored around the clock and travelers can keep their keys after parking up.

There are two main car parking options at this airport. The first is the general parking facility, which is located very close to the main terminal building, making it easy to walk there and without any need for shuttle buses. The car park is only a couple of minutes from the main terminal on foot, which means you can get to check-in with ease and speed.

For those who are blue badge holders, disabled parking spaces are reserved at the very front of this main car park. This makes it even easier for you to reach the main terminal and check-in for your flight.

The airport also caters to those that are simply picking up or dropping off other passengers. You can benefit from a generous three hours free of charge on the main car park, which makes it easy to park up for a short while as you escort travelers in or wait to pick them up when they return.

Match the option to your stay length
Park & Ride usually offers the lowest daily rate for week-plus trips; Meet & Greet can work out cheaper for quick weekend breaks.
