Birmingham Airport Car Park 1 (formerly Short and Medium Stay 1)
“ Absolutely fine, easy to book, reasonable price and good access to the terminal.” - Phil Kelly
Contactless parking experience as you park your car yourself, keep your keys and do not need a transfer to the airport. Closest multi-storey car park to the airport.
Directions
- Leave the M42 at junction 6 and take the A45, following the signs to the airport.
- Keeping left, take the first exit towards Solihull.
- Follow the left fork, which will take you back over the A45 and towards the airport.
- At the roundabout, take the second exit straight on to Airport Way.
- Keep left. You'll see signs for Car Park 1.
- Take the third exit at the next roundabout, signposted for the car park.
- The entrance will be on your left.
Arrival procedure
- When you pull up to the barrier, the camera will recognise your number plate, dispense a ticket and raise the barrier.
- Drive through and find yourself a parking space.
- This is a contactless service so you can keep your keys; your car will be where you left it upon your return.
Return procedure
- As your car will have stayed where you left it, there will be no waiting for it to be returned.
- Drive to the barrier, which should raise automatically, and then exit the car park.
- Use the intercom button to speak to staff should the barrier not raise automatically.
Security
Entry and exit barriers restrict access to this Park-Mark awarded car park, complete with CCTV and regular patrols.
Disabled facilities
- Bays reserved for blue badge holders are available on a first come, first served basis.
- You will need to leave your blue badge displayed in your window. If you need it for your trip, however, head to the customer service desk to fill out a form. You can call for assistance should the desk not be manned.
Additional information
- They operate a 3 hour grace period for those running a little early or late; anything over this time frame, however, will be subject to the standard £15 daily rate.
- Vehicles over 2.15m tall will not fit into the car park.
- Payments can only be made by card as they have no cash facility.

Prebooked for a 4 day trip - paid £56. On return went to exit and inserted my ticket and it said I owed £156. Had to wait ages for customer services to respond - although eventually they did and sorted it. Apart from that car park 1 is handy for terminal and cover in case of snow.

i made the booking 2 days before departure, and I think this was good value for money. The car park was easy to find and a very short walk from the terminal. I would book this again.

Terrible customer service. Trip was cancelled due to CV-19. If I had booked direct with the airport they would have given me a credit to be used against a future booking. However FHR would not honour the same and are no longer replying to my emails so I have lost my money. I have been a regular customer of this app and FHR but I can see zero point of ever using them again and will just book direct. Really disappointing profiteering from the current situation.
