Birmingham Airport Car park

Hi gents

anyone used carparks there? I am talking about short stay ones close to terminal building. Are they big enough to accommodate S8?

Be careful where you park at BHX as my previous car was vandalised in one of the older on site car parks which didn't have CCTV.

The multi-stories connected to the terminal are very good IME, use them all the time. Wouldn't use the long-stay surface carpark though. Spaces are not over-generous but there's always lots of Range Rovers and Land Rovers in there so you should get an S8 in.

Yes easily, just be careful not to scuff your alloys at the ticket barrier where they have those absurdly high and tight kerbs which make me v angry

I use the BHX short stay on a regular basis and it is incredibly busy but the spaces are reasonable. I've parked the father in law's Range Rover there on a couple of occasions next to other SUVs and it hasn't been too bad.

As mentioned BHX multi storeys are quite good.

Used both short and long stay without problem.

Obviously the higher a level you choose less hassle from other cars.


Alternatively. Leave car and keys with Kal or myself and have chaffeur service

My W.I.F.E (Washing Ironing Food and Entertainment) is already pre booked for that particular purpose.
