Coaches typically £740* · Minibuses typically £480*

Per vehicle, one way: coaches for journeys of 15–30 miles, minibuses for journeys of 60–100 miles. * Includes the airport’s permit, parking or drop-off charge for a normal pick-up or drop-off. Waiting time rates may apply. Prices are subject to the time of year, the time of day and availability.

Dropping off at the terminal forecourt costs £9 for the first 12 minutes, then £1 a minute up to a 30-minute maximum — paid online only, by midnight the following day. Or pay nothing: the Long Stay Car Park gives you up to two hours free and a 24-hour shuttle bus that runs every 20 minutes and takes about ten. The satnav postcodes that matter are LU2 9QT for the terminal/drop-off zone and LU2 9NW for the Long Stay car park.
