Cardiff Airport parking: four options, all close to the terminal

Cardiff Airport at Rhoose is the airport of Wales, small and easy to find your way around, with every car park close to the single terminal and open around the clock. The overview above lists the options the airport describes itself. Prices are not on this page, because they change with the season and with booking ahead; the current figure is on the official page linked above.

Which car park fits

Car Park 1 is the short-stay choice for a pick-up or a few hours, with no height restriction and spaces for disabled drivers; Car Park 2 is the cheaper option for a holiday, with the same features. Premium Parking is two minutes from the terminal, and the Express Park opposite the main terminal building is the valet option, with a height limit of 2.7 metres for both.

Getting there and the alternatives

The airport is south-west of Cardiff off the A4226, reached from the M4 at junction 33 via the A4232; the car parks are signposted from the approach road. Without a car, a bus stops outside the main departures hall with services to Cardiff, and Rhoose Cardiff International Airport railway station is linked to the terminal by a shuttle bus. For more destinations, Bristol is an hour away. The arrivals and departures of Cardiff are in the tabs above; every airport we follow is in the airport overview.
