Short-stay
Upon arriving at the airport, keep an eye out for 'Short-Stay Car-park' signs, sometimes with descriptions underneath of the amount of hours you can use the car-park for (for instance, short-stay 0-4 hours, short-stay 4-8 hours, and so on). Tickets will either be available at a boom-gate that blocks the entrance and exit, or will have to be purchased after parking from a ticket box. Make sure you note the ticket instructions - some will have to be left on the dashboard or windscreen of your car (visible to inspectors), whilst others you can keep on your person. If you are issued a ticket from a boom-gate (rather than purchasing one), you will have to pay the required amount upon your departure from the car-park. Some car-parking complexes have terminals stationed outside of the car-park that allow you to pay before you get to your car, whilst others require you to drive to a manned-box for payment. |

Most major airports in the United Kingdom and indeed around the world have short-stay car-parking facilities for people that are picking up or dropping off passengers. As a general rule, most airports now discourage or ban entirely the use of the drop-off zone directly outside the terminal entrance, mainly because of the potential threat of terrorism but also to eliminate traffic jams. Short-stay car-parks are a great way to get around this problem and are generally affordable providing you don't spend too long in the terminal!
