Arrival Procedure
The car park has an automatic number plate recognition system, so make sure you enter your car registration number correctly when you make your booking. We recommend that, as always, you bring a copy of your booking confirmation with you. Drive up to the entry barrier and press the button for a ticket. Your registration number and booking reference will be printed on your ticket. Follow the signs to the nearest available spaces. Make a note of where you have parked and make your way to the nearest bus stop. If the machine doesn`t recognise your car, you`ll still be able take a ticket and park - you`ll just need to speak to a member of staff when you come back from holiday.
Departure Procedure
All you need to do is collect your car and drive to the exit barrier. Put the ticket you took when you came into the car park into the exit slot. The barrier should lift. If it doesn`t, or the machine displays a price, you should press the intercom and staff will help you. If your entry ticket doesn`t have your booking reference printed on it, press the intercom and staff will help you. You`ll just need to explain that you booked and paid for your parking in advance, and give them your booking reference. If you`ve parked for more time than you booked, you`ll need to pay for the extra time before you go. The machine will show the amount in the exit column and you can pay by credit or debit card.
Security
The car park is fully secured and is regularly patrolled by security staff. It has a barrier, a high perimeter fence and floodlighting and there are plans to install CCTV. They have to have modern security measures, such as alarms and CCTV, and be clean and well-lit. Car parks which have been awarded the Park Mark are regularly reinspected by the police.

Notes
There are roadworks on the M1 from junction 10 to junction 13 for the rest of the year, so we advise you to leave extra time for your journey to the airport. More detailed information is available on the Highways Agency website. If your actual stay is longer than your booked stay, you will be charged extra on departure at the car park`s standard daily or hourly rate. Please note: No refund will be issued for part used stays.
