Short Stay Parking at Cardiff Airport
The Short Stay Car Park is a short walk from terminal entrance and is ideal for meeting family and friends and for short trips up to 4 days. After this you should use the Long Stay Car Park otherwise it will be very expensive.
A fast track lane is available for drivers picking up passengers. Signs clearly indicate which area within the car park is the pick up zone, and the pick up bays are also clearly marked.
The first 20 minutes in this car park are free which make it ideal if you are picking someone up. The short stay tariff will apply for any stays longer than 20 minutes.
You will find that within the pick up zone are "last chance to pay" bays located near the pay machine at the exit barrier should drivers who are picking up passengers exceed their 20 minutes free stay. Alternatively you can simply take a ticket at the barrier and then pay on your return at one of the machines in the terminal building. Remember to take your ticket with you when you leave your vehicle.

There is a disabled signage trail for all customers who require special assistance that will lead them into this car park. Here you will find that there is certain facilities available to accommodate your needs. Charges are the same as the short and long stay car parks.
These facilities include:
- A Special Assistance Call Point (linked to the service desk on the ground floor of the terminal)

Long Stay Parking at Cardiff Airport
The Long Stay Car Park should be used if you are leaving your vehicle for longer than 24 hours. You can just turn up and take a ticket as above but it is less expensive to pre-book and you will also be guaranteed a space.
