Pick up/Drop off

Passengers can be dropped off in front of the terminal, however if you are picking up passengers you must go to the short term car park which is just a short walk from the terminal. The first 20 minutes of your stay in the car park will be free.

Please do not pick up/drop off on approach roads as this may create traffic congestion and will also mean a longer walk for your passengers.

Short-Stay Parking

This carpark should be utilised by travellers who are leaving their car at the airport for a short duration. A higher daily tariff exists than the Long-Stay carparking rate.

On arrival at the car park, take a ticket from the barrier and park in the first available space or as directed by NCP staff. Payment for parking is made upon return via "pay on foot" machines which are now located inside the Arrivals Hall as is the NCP Customer Service Desk. Please keep your ticket with you when you travel.

Business Parking

This is our premier choice car park for speed and convenience for business travellers.

On arrival at the car park, Business travellers should utilise the Short-Stay car park entrance, and take a ticket from the barrier and park in the first available space or as directed by NCP staff.

Payment for parking is made upon return via "pay on foot" machines which are located inside the Arrivals Hall.

Alternatively a credit card facility is available on the exit barriers in order to avoid timely delays at the "pay on foot" machines. Simply insert your credit/debit card in the slot at the entry barrier & then insert the same card in the slot at the exit barrier when you are ready to leave. A receipt will be issue and the barrier will raise.

Please keep your ticket with you when you travel.

There are dedicated spaces in the car park for KLM pass holders that are located to the fore of the business Carpark, again utilising the Short-Stay entrance.

Disabled Parking

The airport has an ongoing commitment to passengers with special needs, with dedicated parking spaces in both the short and long term car parks. There is a help button on every entry & exit barrier and any customer in need of assistance should press for help and staff will deal with the queries. There is also a dedicated ramp access from the short stay/business car park to the main terminal.

Charges are the same as the short and long stay car parks.
