Turning up and paying at the barrier is almost always the most expensive way to park at a UK airport. Booking in advance, comparing official and independent car parks and considering public transport can save a significant amount.
Book early
Pre-booked prices tend to rise as car parks fill, particularly around school holidays.
Compare the full journey
