You can now only collect in the car parks, the cost is £2 for 30 mins, £3.50 for an hour. All the multi storey car parks have a height of 2m (6ft 6in). There is an uncovered park outside T1 arrivals, also at the far end of T2 arrivals and at T3 it is just before the mini roundabout on approach to T3. The prices are the same for all terminals. If you are doing it on a regular basis you can get a concession card for £25, you then put money on in advance. The rates are then £1.20 30mins and £1.80 for an hour, after 60mins the cost reverts to normal.

The only place where you can pick up for nowt is the station forecourt if you get them to ring you but it is a long walk from any of the terminals.

If you arrive a bit early, DO NOT park at the garage and get a coffee and a sticky bun because if the coffee is hot and you don't get away within 20 mins you will get a fine through the post. :wink:

The same people who do it at Heathrow, Gatwick and probably many other places.
