Manchester drop-off charge
What Manchester charges to stop at the terminal, what that buys you, and the free or cheaper way to do the same drop.
£6.50 for up to 10 minutes at the terminal.
That is £0.65 per minute.
| Stay | Price |
|---|---|
| Up to 5 minutes | £5.50 |
| Up to 10 minutes | £6.50 |
| Up to 30 minutes | £25 |
The free way to do the same drop
All passengers can use the free Drop Off area in JetParks 1, with a free shuttle bus to the terminal.
That is the airport's own wording, not our suggestion: where an airport publishes a free option, it is quoted here with its conditions.
How to pay, and what it costs to forget
- Deadline: Online by midnight the following day.
- Methods: Online only — no cash or cheque, and no payment in the drop-off area.
- If you don't pay: a Charge of £100, reduced to £60 if paid within 14 days.
Worth knowing
The 5-minute price is the cheapest way to stop at the forecourt; up to 30 minutes is £25 and the maximum stay is 30 minutes.
