What is Long Stay?

Long Stay parking at East Midlands Airport is your ideal option when you’re going away for a week or longer.

Our two Long Stay car parks provide great value for money - perfect for leisure travellers. With Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) for easy entry and exit, simply pull up and keep hold of your keys. You can then head to the nearest bus stop where a free shuttle bus will come every 15 minutes to take you straight to the terminal.

Booking the right parking space is quick and easy, too. Simply click the button below, enter your travel details, and we’ll recommend the best Long Stay parking options at East Midlands Airport for you.

Prices from £57.99 (8 day stay in April 2025)

Long Stay will be closed from 4 November 2024 until 31 March 2025, except for the free 1 hour pick up and drop off option. We recommend either Mid Stay 3 or Meet & Greet as an alternative if you are looking to park for longer.

How does Long Stay parking work?

Say goodbye to stressful planning and parking, and follow these 4 simple steps:

  1. Book in advance: Pre-book to guarantee your space, especially during busy periods.

  2. Park up: Our ANPR system will recognise your vehicle’s number plate and open the barrier (no tickets required). So on the day, just drive in, park up, and lock your vehicle.

  3. Head to the terminal: Walk over to a nearby bus shelter where a shuttle bus will come every 15 minutes. You’ll be at the terminal in no time.

  4. When you return: Find your vehicle right where you left it. The barrier will recognise your number plate again when you leave, so you can just drive away.
