Southampton Airport Parking

One of the most southern airports in Britain, Southampton Airport is easily the busiest airport of its size with a whopping 2 million passengers visiting every year. Unfortunately, due to the ratio of size to the volume of passengers, it’s also an incredibly difficult place to find parking – making booking a necessity. To help you find the right parking for a great price, we’ve put together this helpful guide to Southampton Airport’s parking services.

Pick-up & Drop-off at Southampton Airport

There are two options for visitors who’re picking up and dropping-off at Southampton Airport, either pay to use the short-stay carpark or use the long-stay carpark for free. If you choose to pay to enter the pick-up and drop-off section of the short-stay carpark, you’ll be able to park for up to an hour for a relatively low price. However, if you’d rather arrive and avoid paying anything, you can also use the long-stay carpark, where your passengers can get to and from the airport via bus, for 15 minutes free of charge.
