With two major terminals helping 40 separate airlines operate, and serving 9 million passengers a year, this is an airport which has seen a great deal of development in recent years, and is continuing to expand.

20 for the first half hour, which is significantly cheaper than many of the major airports.
For longer stays you have a number of choices, and the multi-story medium stay car parks might be worth considering.
These start at £2.
60 per hour and although they offer the convenience of allowing you to simply turn up and park, they can prove to be expensive for extended stays.
If you're staying longer than a day or two you would be better off choosing the long stay car parks, valet car parks or even the hotel options.
You are also going to be considerably better off if you have the ability to book in advance.
Pre-booking 90 days in advance can result in long stay rates of just £2.

When you arrive at an airport sometimes for a little extra the convenience of not having to worry about parking your car, or of finding it again at the end of your trip, is worth a great deal.
If you have a lot of heavy or awkward luggage, or you have elderly or disabled passengers, or perhaps a number of children, you don't want the hassle of parking miles from the airport, catching a bus and then finding your way through to the terminal.
Just getting your passengers and luggage from the car to the bus stop, on and off the bus and then through to the terminal can start to make your vacation seem more like hard work.
If this is the case you would do well to consider the valet service available as one of the more convenient Birmingham airport car park facilities.
Imagine driving right up to the terminal, meeting your chauffeur who will then help you unload your passengers and luggage, and drive your car away for you, parking it in a secure compound while you are away.
On your return your chauffeur will bring your car to you, right up to the terminal, minimizing any worry or hassle about parking, finding your car or getting to or from the terminal.
Although slightly more expensive, this does represent the easiest possible option, and as far as Birmingham airport car park facilities go, it can't be beaten when it comes to peace of mind and enjoying your trip.
