Blue Badge Parking

Blue Badge bays sit in the main Short Stay and Long Stay car parks

Aberdeen’s Blue Badge Parking isn’t a separate car park; you use marked disabled bays in the on-airport Short Stay and Long Stay areas for T1. Bays sit closest to the terminal entrance in Short Stay, and by shuttle stops in Long Stay, so the walk or transfer distance stays as short as possible for drivers and passengers with mobility issues.

One reviewer with mobility issues said they found disabled parking “straightforward” and “not far to walk” from their car into the terminal at ABZ. That matches the general setup: you park in a signed Blue Badge space, display your badge, and then either head directly into T1 from Short Stay or take the shuttle from Long Stay. Prices just follow the standard Short Stay or Long Stay tariff on the day or booking you’ve chosen.

Airport assistance info and reviews line up on one thing: arrange special assistance with your airline before you arrive. Staff have been called “helpful with wheelchair assistance” starting from the car park, and the assistance points are positioned so they’re reachable from the Blue Badge bays without covering the full length of the car park. Give your airline your flight number, time, and that you’re using the Blue Badge bays so they can flag your booking.

Regulars with mobility needs say they pick Short Stay Blue Badge bays for 1–2 day trips and shift to Long Stay Blue Badge spaces for longer holidays to keep costs down. They stick to on-airport parking instead of third‑party off‑site lots so they don’t deal with extra transfers. One simple tip: arrive at least 30 extra minutes before check‑in opens, so assistance staff have time to meet you at your car and move you through security without rushing.
