How safe is Manchester Airport Vacationcare?
Vacationcare has 24/7 CCTV and is regularly patrolled at all hours of the day and night. A gate-house and barriers to entry and exit limit accessibility to unwanted guests. Furthermore, being in a multi-storey car park means that access is only possible via these entry and exit ways.
How does Vacationcare Park and Ride Manchester work?
Arrival
15 minutes before arrival, you should call the phone number provided in your confirmation email that you will receive after booking the car park. You then drive up to the entry barrier where the guard will let you in upon recognition of your number plate and booking. Once you have parked up you are free to grab the shuttle bus that regularly runs every 15 minutes for the 3 to 5 minute trip to the airport terminal. Your keys will remain at the car park for the duration of your trip.
Return
Upon your return you will be picked up by the shuttle bus. This does depend on the terminal that you land in though.
Terminal 1
If you arrive in Terminal 1, then call 07464 448279 to let the provider know you are ready for collection. Head to the Streetcars Taxi Rank. Across the road, you will find a grey hut with a sign titled T1 Meet & Greet Self Service (It is to the right of the multi-storey Terminal 1 Short Stay Arrivals Car Park). Wait by the hut and the shuttle bus will collect you from there.
Terminal 2
Once you have arrived in the Terminal 2 arrivals hall, call 07464 448279 to let the operator know you are ready for collection. Then follow the signs for T2 West Pick Up. Take the lift in the T2 West multi-storey to Level 1. Wait next to the lift for the shuttle bus to collect you from here.
Large Vehicles
There is a height limit of 6 feet and 6 inches (198 cm) at the entry to the ramp for the car park. Any vehicle that is considered to be larger than the delineated standard parking bays length and breadth will be charged an additional £15.
