The buses have always been reliable and timely when I've used this car park. The staff are friendly and polite. My car has always been safe. The spaces can be tiny with people parking badly to give themselves more room. I had to squeeze a discovery sport into a space where I had to slide myself out the car with barely any room. Thankfully I was back the next day and neither of the cars next to me had moved meaning no risk of damage to my car. Spaces are fine if you have a small car. The only other 3 spaces I could not even have fit my car in unless I exited via the boot.

Maple Parking Edinburgh Meet & Greet - Non Flex

Very good service from this company. My only complaint would be the wait for your car to be delivered back to you. It would be better if the car was parked ready for you instead of the 10 mins sometimes longer for your car to arrive, especially if you are on a late flight. Apart from that no complaints.

Long Stay Express - Non Flexible

It was certainly quick and easy to park the car however on our return we were told the car was in A51 and left to find it on our own. We certainly found the channel marked A and followed the numbers from 1 upwards but then the numbers stopped. Luckily there were assistants driving around the car park that we were able to ask and they pointed us in the right direction but then numbers stopped again. It was a very long walk to find our car and not anymore convenient than where we had originally booked our car into namely ‘Plane Parking Express’ where you drove into the car park and handed your keys over to somebody and got the bus to the terminal. On your return, yes you had to wait for the bus to take you back to the car park but you just crossed over to the little office to collect your keys and your car was ready to be picked up in a bay just around the corner. This new car park in our opinion is now just too big and would have to be very well lit at night. Not for us especially when you see the charges for this new car park.

When you book a Meet and Greet Car Park, you will be met at the airport by a fully insured Chauffeur, who drives your car to a secured storage site.

On return, your vehicle is bought back to the terminal, so you can just drive straight home.

How far in advance do I need to booking parking at Edinburgh? 

You can book Edinburgh Airport Parking with us right up to your day of travel.

We'd always recommend booking as early as possible however to get the best prices and guarantee your space at your chosen car park, as some car parks can close out to arrivals days before in peak holiday periods.  

Prices are set by the car parks and change with the availability so as the car parks fill up the prices increase.

Do I need to print my parking confirmation voucher?

Why is a weeks’ parking calculated as 8 days? 

Most car parks charge per day or part thereof, i.e. they count the day you enter the car park and the day you leave. That means a 7 night trip is 8 calculated as days parking and a 14 night trip will be 15 days parking.

This will depend on the car park you book, but we recommend that you arrive to drop the car off at least minutes 30 minutes prior to your earliest check-in/bag drop time. 

Can I turn up at any time for my meet and greet? 

The 'parking from' time on your confirmation is the time slot the car park has allocated you, so it’s important to let us know if you need to change the time, if its more than 24 hours before you are due to park. If it is less than 24 hours before your meet is due, you should call the chauffeurs using the number on your confirmation voucher.
