£Airport Drop-Off Charges.co.uk

UK airport drop-off guides

Five guides, one verified dataset: how to pay a post-pay charge, the ranked price index, where drop-off is still free, how pick-up really works, and the Blue Badge rules airport by airport.

Verified: · airports' own published charges

Every guide, built from the verified dataset

These aren't blog posts — each guide is generated from the same verified dataset as the comparison table, so when a fee changes, the guides change with it. Every figure carries the 25 Aug 2026 review date and traces to an airport's own published charges.

Looking for one airport?

Each of the 29 airports has its own guide covering the exact charge, where the drop-off zone is, how and when to pay, pick-up rules, the free alternative and its Blue Badge position — all from the airport directory. For data reuse, see the AI & data page, the embeddable table, or the press page.

Guides: your questions

What do these guides cover?

Five data-generated references: how to pay the charge at every post-pay (ANPR) airport, with deadlines and penalties; every UK airport drop-off charge ranked; the airports that are still free plus every free alternative; pick-up rules and costs at all airports; and Blue Badge arrangements including registration requirements.

Method & corrections

Every figure on this page is checked against the airport's own published charges and stamped with the date we checked it. We re-verify the full dataset quarterly, and after any reported change — see how we work and who maintains it.
