Blue Badge Parking

If you are a blue badge holder, you can park in our Short Stay Car Park at the cheaper Long Stay Car Park rate.

To take advantage of the long stay rate please make a reservation for the long stay car park, then email [email protected] with your booking reference number and a copy of your valid blue badge (both sides) we will then update the reservation to be valid for the short stay car park.  When you arrive for your stay the entrance barrier for the short stay car park should lift automatically but if there are any problems, please scan the QR code on the confirmation email for the reservation to be activated and the barrier will lift. Please allow at least 48 hours’ notice for the reservation to be updated to be valid in the short stay car park.


The Blue Badge or a photocopy must be kept in view.

Blue Badge owners can also avail of up to 2 hours free parking to drop off / pick up passengers in our Short Stay Car Park. When they have finished at the airport, the driver needs to present the entry ticket and proof of Blue Badge ownership at the Disability Service desk. The entry ticket will then be validated for up to 2 hours, if your stay has been less than 2 hours the validated ticket will work to exit, if the stay has been over 2 hours the parking will be charged at the normal rate.

Alternatively, the driver can press the intercom at any pay station or on exit and a member of the car park team will confirm valid Blue Badge ownership before validating the 2 hours free parking.

Blue Badge holders who are at the airport for over 2 hours to drop off or pick up will be charged at the standard price for their stay.
