The Southampton long stay car park offers great value parking and only has a short bus ride to the airport terminal. Located at the end of the main airport road (past the terminal building). It has won the Park Mark Award for its security too, it boasts regular patrols, CCTV and on-site parking. You simply park up, keep your keys and then jump on the bus to the terminal which is only a 5 min journey.
The short stay car park is the closest options for parking near the terminal, it’s only a short 1 to 3 minute walk to the check-in desks. When you pre-book you get a guaranteed space, on the day you just drive up to the barriers and the camera will automatically detect your number plate. Similar to long stay, the short stay car park has also won the Park Mark Award. Along with CCTV, patrols and attendants on-site 24 hours a day. It also benefits from a multi-storey car park meaning the majority is undercover, a great option when it’s raining so you can easily sort out your luggage without getting wet.
The meet and greet option is really popular but please note, it’s key to book your car parking slot in advance for this. All you have to do is drive up to the pick-up / drop off area, an operator will meet you, inspect the car and drive it to the car park for you. This is a stress free way of parking as it leaves you to walk straight to the check in desk. Like long and short stay parking your car will be kept in a car park that has CCTV and patrols, so you know it’s in safe hands.
