This has made me something of an expert on Manchester Airport car parking and how to find discount airport car parking. Manchester airport parking charges vary widely so a little research can save a lot of cash.
Manchester international is a extremely busy place and as such it is better to have booked your parking before you leave for the airport. Many of the car parks have a website where you can book your parking before you even get in your car, this makes the process easier as you don’t have to drive around looking for a space when you get to the airport for your flight.

If you are not concerned with cost your choices will be either Global Chauffeur or Meet and Greet Parking, they offer a great service. They may be a bit on the pricey side but they may save you a lot of time and worry. All you should do is arrange a time and place to meet them over the phone and hand over your keys when you arrive. Your vehicle will be taken care of and parked in a high security car park.
For the commuter in a rush I would point you towards Carminder, APH or Premier Parking all of whom are based within ten minutes of Manchester International and are all very reputable . APH also give you the option of indoor parking for those cold and wet months.
For those travelling from the north then the best Manchester airport parking service is Airparks. A small problem with this business can be that they take a little longer for processing and I always allow around an hour if you choose their services.
Every company will request you to hand over your car keys so that they can move your car when you are gone. This usually happens automatically but I like to give the car park attendant my spare key just in case.
