Glasgow Airport increases pick-up and drop-off charges ahead of summer

Glasgow Airport has increased the cost to use its pick-up and drop-off point ahead of summer. 

Customers can now expect to pay £6 to use the travel hubs' drop-off and pick-up point – an increase of 50p.

Previously, travellers only had to fork out £5.50 for 15 minutes at the point. However, after 15 minutes had ended, drivers would then be charged an extra £1 per minute. 

Now, customers will have to pay £6 for 15 minutes – an increase of 50p. Once 15 minutes have ended, those dropping off or picking up loved ones will still be charged an extra £1 per minute. 

While the travel hub has hiked up its pick-up and drop-off charges, the costs to use its Short Stay car parks remain almost the same.

However, the cost to use the short-stay car park for 20 minutes has increased by £1 from £7 to £8.

Here are Glasgow Airport's pick-up, drop-off, and parking fees for Summer 2025: 

Pick-up & Drop-off: 

Whether you are dropping off or picking up a loved one from the airport, there are "various free and paid-for parking options" available.

Glasgow Airport's Pick-up & Drop-off areas are located directly outside the main terminal building in car park 2.

The travel hub's pick-up and drop-off point costs £6 for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes is up, drivers will be charged an extra £1 per minute. 

However, those looking to hang around a wee bit longer can use the airport's Short Stay car park. 

Holidaymakers can expect to pay £15 for 60 minutes at the Short Stay car park.

Glasgow Airport's Free Long Stay Pick-up & Drop-off: 

If close proximity to the airport isn't essential, drivers can use the travel facility's free long-stay pick-up option. 

A spokesperson for Glasgow Airport said: "Pull into our long-stay car park and you can leave your car here free of charge for up to one hour.

"You can either wait here for your passenger or you can hop on the free shuttle bus to meet them at the terminal."

Glasgow Airport's Short Stay Car Park prices: 

Here's what drivers can expect to pay while using the airport's short-stay car park: 

  • Up to 20 minutes: £8
  • Up to one hour: £15 
  • Up to two hours: £24
  • Up to four hours: £35
  • Up to 24 hours: £60
