Pick-up and drop-off fee at Glasgow Airport increases to £5.50 for 15 minutes

Glasgow Airport’s pick-up and drop-off charge has been increased to £5.50 for 15 minutes.

Bosses said that as part of an annual review, the tariff had been increased by 50p and came into effect from February 14.

Last year, the charge rose from £4 to £5.

For those who stay longer than 15 minutes, they will be charged £1 for every extra minute.

There will be no change in the current arrangements for blue badge holders who are entitled to up to 30 minutes of free parking in the short stay car park.

The airport also says it will continue to offer a free pick-up and drop-off area located in the long stay car park.

A Glasgow Airport spokesperson said: “As part of an annual review, the pick-up and drop-off tariff has been increased by 50p to £5.50 for 15 minutes from Wednesday February 14.

“We would remind passengers that this facility is designed purely for pick-up and drop-off transactions under 15 minutes. Anyone planning to stay longer should use one of our short-stay parking options.

“The free option in our long-stay car park has also been increased from 30 minutes to one hour and is serviced by an on-demand 24-hour shuttle service.”
