Edinburgh Airport Parking Guide
Compare Park & Ride, Meet & Greet, and Long Stay — Updated 2026
Edinburgh Airport (EDI) is Scotland's busiest airport — 15+ million passengers annually — with parking demand that consistently exceeds on-site capacity during Fringe Festival (August), Hogmanay (December-January), and Edinburgh Marathon week. On-site Long Stay runs £110-160/week; off-site Park & Ride operators sit 5-15 minutes away with free shuttles, cutting typical cost to £55-90/week. Meet & Greet (drop your car at the terminal) is popular for early business flights + tight family schedules.

FAQ
Cheapest Edinburgh Airport parking?+
Off-site Park & Ride 4+ weeks in advance: £45-60/week. On-site Long Stay is £110+/week. For 2+ week trips book 6+ weeks ahead — off-site can drop to £35-45/week during shoulder seasons (Oct-Feb excluding Christmas/NYE).
Edinburgh Airport parking during Fringe Festival?+
Fringe (August) is the tightest window of the year — book 8+ weeks ahead OR use Edinburgh Waverley rail parking + Airlink 100 bus (£4.50). On-site rates rise 20-40% during Fringe; off-site operators sell out fastest.
Tram to Edinburgh Airport — should I skip parking?+
For solo travellers or couples with light luggage, the Edinburgh Tram from Princes Street (£6, 35 min) is often cheaper than parking + fuel. For families with heavy luggage, or arrivals after 23:00 (tram closes ~23:30), parking wins.
Late-night parking pickup at EDI?+
All on-site car parks operate 24/7 with shuttle buses every 10-15 min day + every 20-30 min overnight. Off-site operators typically run reduced overnight shuttles (30-45 min gap 23:00-05:00). For very late arrivals, Meet & Greet is more reliable.
