Manchester Airport Drop & Go

Directions

Exit the M56 at Junction 5 and follow the signs for Terminal 1 and 3. At the traffic lights go straight ahead for Terminal 1, you'll pass the Hilton hotel on your left. At the roundabout, go straight on, avoiding the ramp up to Terminal 1 Departures. At the next roundabout take the first left and continue straight on until the next roundabout. At this roundabout, continue straight on, into the Drop and Go arrivals area.

Arrival procedure

On arrival at the car park, your car reg will be automatically recognised and the barrier will lift. Please drive through an inspection area, which will automatically scan your car and record its condition so we can make sure it'll be returned to you in the same condition as when you left it. Please park your car, unload your luggage and head to reception to hand over your keys. Please note that keyrings and other keys cannot be taken, so you'll need to separate your car key from the others. You'll be given a receipt for your key, which you'll need to keep safe until your return. Then take the 5-minute walk to Terminal 3. If you are travelling from Terminal 1 or 2, it's a 2-minute shuttle bus ride to Terminal 1 and 5-minutes to Terminal 2. In the meantime, an insured driver will park your vehicle within the car park.

Return procedure

On your return, please head back to the Drop and Go reception and show your receipt at reception. You will then be able to collect your keys. Your car will be parked in the arrivals area.

Security

The car park has entry/exit barriers and is regularly patrolled. It has been awarded the Park Mark award.

Disabled facilities
