Short Stay Car Park

£20 a day to park right beside BFS T1

The Short Stay Car Park at Belfast International (T1) sits directly beside the terminal, so you’re through the doors in roughly a 5‑minute walk from most bays. It’s a short-stay setup, geared to keep you close to departures rather than buried in long-stay rows.

Pricing is simple: around £20.00 per day, rolling up to roughly £140.00 for a full week if you leave the car that long. You’re paying a premium over long-stay, but what you get back is minimal walking, especially helpful on early morning flights or late-night arrivals into T1.

This car park is fully within the on-airport footprint, so you skip any shuttle buses and just roll luggage straight towards the Belfast International terminal doors. For quick trips of one to three days, the math often works out cleaner than dealing with off-airport operators and extra transfer time.

There are no special loyalty quirks or secret hacks here, just standard airport-operated short-stay parking at posted rates. You’ll usually get the best pricing by pre-booking online rather than driving up and paying the gate rate, particularly if you know your T1 departure time a week or more ahead.

Tip: If you’re dropping someone for a Belfast International morning departure, use Short Stay, walk them the 5 minutes to T1 check-in, then head straight back out before the charges climb into full-day territory.
