How does Mid Stay parking work?

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

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

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

  3. Walk to your terminal: No need for a shuttle bus. East Midlands Airport Mid Stay car parks are just a 5–7 minutes walk to the terminal.

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