Use the free 20-minute grace period if you’re just dropping off or picking up passengers.

Long stays

If you’re going away for a week or more, terminal parking is convenient but costs more than Park & Ride.

Peak periods

Terminal parking can fill up quickly, so if you're heading away, consider using Park and Ride for a stress-free start to your journey.
