Hi all, looking for the best/safest car parking at Manchester airport for 3 weeks, (not until October).
Not interested in meet-greet take your car away to some field miles away.

Thanks in advance.

Manchester jetparks
Regular shuttle bus, approx every 15 minutes
Drops at each terminal
Just a huge carpark with cctv etc. You park up yourself and keep your keys.

Much better than the other place that has numerous greenhouse structures and seems to regularly damage cars as you leave them your keys.

Ok thanks for that, i thought it would be that one, but so many advertising makes it difficult to make sure one is booking with a genuine entity/company.
It has been sometime since i was last at Manchester.

Jetparks seems to be promoted by the airport itself as i found it via the airport website.
I wanted to park directly next to the terminals as i usually do but they had no avail.
Ended up at jetparks and id happily park there again.

Not sure if they own it like the short stay parking next to the terminals.

Just checked it is owned by the Airport operator.

I always book airport parking via TopCashback. For Manchester Jet Parks they are offering 20% discount, though that will be on the pre-VAT price.

Have used the meet and greet several times - they seem to have their own multi story car park now and the car stays on site.
I know this as I can track the car position on the app - it never moved all week.

APH are generally very good. Leave your car and your keys, they park on site and you get a shuttle bus to and from the airport. On the day you come back they put your car in a collection area and you pick up the keys from the desk.

They're good value for longer stays because their costs don't really relate to how long the car is there for, the costs are putting the car away and getting it out again, so 2 weeks is only £20 (say) more than 1 week. Other operators which charge per day would be much more for the longer stay.

Just looking to book one of the T2 multi storeys at Manchester that we always use and none of them are coming up on any searches (for any date as well). This is for a 10 night holiday in September. Does anyone know why this is?

They maybe fully booked up

Had similar recently and ended up using one of the airport parking sites that you park up in yourself and get on the shuttle bus. I think they were every 15mins

Turned out fine.

Didn't want to use the notorious offside parking on the site with huge greenhouses as a friends car was damaged there by the staff.

Would it not be more cost effective to get a taxi?
Anything over 1 week and for me it's the cheaper method, obviously depending on your distance from Manchester airport.

No I was putting loads of dates deep into 2026 and they still weren't showing. It's almost as if they're 'offline' at the moment for bookings. Strange.

I used JetPark 3 recently. Won't be rushing back.
It was absolutely rammed with very few parking spaces - quite a few under water.

Can't fault the shuttle buses.

We use the MAN multi-storey car parks quite often but they have recently stopped letting us book for 2 weeks (policy change apparently) so maybe the maximum you can book now is actually 7 nights (we haven't tried to book 10 nights).

We're back to using a taxi - same price as the parking but driving yourself there & back is actually more convenient (I never used to think that).

Ahhh I think we have a winner. I've just put in 6 nights and the multi storey comes up! Thanks!
