If you're like countless others this summer, you may be looking to fly out from Edinburgh Airport.
The airport is the largest in Scotland and is a go-to location for those looking to explore a whole host of exotic destinations.
With that said, here is everything you need to know about Edinburgh Airport.
What parking is available at Edinburgh Airport?
Here are all the parking services available at the airport:
Long-Stay Parking
Dubbed one of the "most popular car parks" at the airport, Long-Stay Parking is a 10 to 12-minute walk from the terminal. The price of this is variable but travellers can make savings of 60% when they pre-book.
Mid-Stay Parking
The Mid-Stay Parking is described as a "secret gem" and is around a 10-minute walk from the terminal. A stay here can set drivers back £40 per day after the first 24 hours.
FastPark

Terminal Parking
Perfect for those flying out for a few days, Terminal Parking is only a few minutes walk from the departures. Every day here after the first 24 hours can set motorists back £50.
Multi-Storey Parking
Edinburgh Airport states: "It's not possible to park any closer than Multi-Storey."
Plane Parking
This is the airport's official budget car park and is ideal for those looking to make huge savings.
Located slightly further away, the car park has a free shuttle bus service.
Is there a free drop-off and pick-up service at Edinburgh Airport?
Free pick-up and drop-off services are available at Edinburgh Airport (at the long-stay car park) for stays of up to 30 minutes.
Those staying for more than this allotted time will have to pay a tariff (which increases the longer a driver remains there).
Stays of between 30 minutes and an hour will cost £10, while those staying between one and three hours can expect to be charged £18.
For quick and easy pick-ups and drop-offs, there is also a charged zone near the EDI control tower.
Stays of up to 10 minutes will cost motorists £6, with every minute after this costing £1.

Does the 100ml liquid rule still apply at Edinburgh Airport?
At the time of writing, the 100ml liquid rule still applies at Edinburgh Airport.
This is despite efforts to change this last year with the installation of new scanners.
Announcing that the rule would remain in place, the airport said: "Please prepare for security as normal and continue to follow the 100ml liquid rules.
"New scanners are being installed at security; however, this is an ongoing process, and the rules will not change this summer."
🧴| Morning! Hope you're looking forward to your trip today. Remember that liquids still need to be removed from bags - the well known 100ml rules still apply at EDI. Here's some tips to help you prepare.https://t.co/oKOWAGQqRK pic.twitter.com/alwX3yOwfS
