Parking at Cardiff International Airport

NCP operates a number of car parks for short and long term stays at Cardiff International Airport.

Passenger pick-up and 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.

Short-term stay

The Short Stay car park should be used by travellers who are leaving their car at the airport for a short duration.

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.

Long-term stay

There are two on-airport long stay car parks.

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.

For pre-booked passengers, on return from your trip please visit the NCP customer service desk in the Arrival Hall BEFORE returning to your vehicle with the parking ticket & booking confirmation or reference number in order to have the ticket validated for exit.

Warning: if you have pre-booked your car parking please do not insert your credit/debit card to avoid double payment.

Otherwise payment for parking is made upon return via "pay on foot" machines which are located inside the Arrivals Hall. Please keep your ticket with you when you travel.

A courtesy bus is available during Summer months to take passengers directly to the terminal entrance.

Discounts upwards of 50% available when you pre-book.

A number of companies such as Airpark also operate off airport car parks.
