Holidays come with plenty of extra little costs - Brits spend an average of £100 on pre-flight snacks alone - but airport parking can be a frustrating fee whether you're opting for long-stay or just being dropped off before your trip.
While there are plenty of cheap car parks around airports, sometimes these aren't necessarily the most convenient locations - and sometimes you just want to minimise your travel time before you're even boarding a flight.
Luckily the team at Car Lease Special Offers has done the leg work for you and unveiled the top 10 cheapest UK airport car parks, based on prices including short stay, long stay and even pre-booked weekend parking.

Belfast International Airport came out top in the rankings, with some of the cheapest fees across all of the categories.
For example out of the airports surveyed it had the cheapest short stay fare for an hour costing £5, as well as the cheapest long-stay option with a price of £35.
Cardiff and Glasgow also took spots on the podium for their budget-friendly options.
For those who like to plan ahead, Edinburgh's airport offered up the best pre-booking deals out of all of the airports, for both the weekend and weekdays, with prices from £24.99 and £33.99 respectively.
Most of the UK's busiest airports including London Heathrow, Birmingham and Manchester didn't quite make it into the top 10 rankings -but you can see the full list of those that did below...

Of course if you're hoping to avoid parking fees, one option is to ask a friend or family member to drop you off at the airport - but it's worth noting that some airports do charge for using these drop off zones, or car parking.
However if your designated driver is happy to just drive you and drop you off, without hanging around, there are plenty of airports where you won't need to pay.
Belfast, for example, offers a free first 15 mins in its long stay parking, while Cardiff offers a free five minutes in its drop off zone.
Meanwhile airports including London Stansted, Bristol, East Midlands, London Luton, and Leeds Bradford all offer one hour free drop off zones.
