Birmingham Airport’s various drop-off charges are causing quite a stir. Before reading any further if you haven’t already book Birmingham airport parking<\/a> today using our trusted providers.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Their regular drop-off area is around 10-minutes’ walk from the terminal, and offers up to 30 minutes for free.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, if you want to be dropped off directly outside the terminal, you’ll have to pay for the privilege.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The tariff starts at \u00a33 and rapidly goes up from there:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Asking friends or family members has often been seen as a cheaper alternative to parking in the past, however with such high drop-off prices across the UK airports, this may no longer be the case. Particularly if you’re likely to get stuck in traffic or amongst roadworks, further extending your time on airport grounds.<\/p>\n

Let’s take a look at one example.<\/p>\n

I could<\/em> get my friend to drive me up to Birmingham Airport today and risk spending anywhere up to \u00a348 for the pleasure of being dropped off.<\/p>\n

Or…<\/p>\n

I could arrange my Birmingham Airport parking<\/a> with SkyParkSecure. Just pop in the date I’m travelling, and add the promo code COMPARE.<\/p>\n

And what do you know…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I could book parking for an entire day for a fifth of the airport’s 60-minute drop-off charge!<\/p>\n

That’s 24 hours parking for less than it costs for a meal in the terminal. You’ll be free to say your goodbyes without worrying about running out of time.<\/p>\n

Of course, this method does require at least one of you to get a free shuttle bus, so if you’re not keen on that idea, you could always park in one of the airport’s own car parks instead.<\/p>\n

When we tried it out, again using promo code COMPARE, we got a price of \u00a320.24, which is actually half the \u00a341 price tag if you book direct.<\/p>\n

So you get the freedom to take as long as you need \u2014 at a fraction of the premium drop-off price, in essentially the same location!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Of course, if you’re really desperate to spend as much cash as possible, you can always be met at the terminal and have your car parked for you:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

But that may be a bit overkill!<\/p>\n

So whether you fancy just driving yourself, or you want to avoid the risk of being overcharged when being dropped off, always book ahead with SkyParkSecure<\/a>!<\/p>\n

*All prices were calculated for a full day’s stay in November.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n
