What is walkable parking at Cardiff Airport?
Key Takeaways
- No shuttle bus needed.
- Walking times range from around 2 minutes to 6-7 minutes.
- Car Park 1 and Car Park 2 let you park yourself and keep your keys.
Cardiff Airport parking is refreshingly simple because the options are all on airport grounds and within walking distance. Express Park is around 200 yards from the drop-off area and was previously known as the meet and greet-style product, but it is not a classic meet and greet setup now: your car is stored nearby and the terminal is a short walk away.
Car Park 2 was formerly Long Stay, and Car Park 1 was formerly Short Stay, so those names may still be familiar if you have parked at Cardiff Airport before.
