Edinburgh Airport issues parking update as FastPark service returns

Edinburgh Airport has announced the return of its FastPark valet service for passengers on May 1.

The state-of-the-art parking service allows people to quickly leave their car in front of the terminal without having to find a space in the airport's car park.

It was temporarily stopped due to the Covid-19 pandemic, with the space being used for the ExpressTest testing facility.

After following the dedicated FastPark access road, drivers will enter a photo booth, which will take 360 degree images of their car.

After checking in and leaving their keys in a dedicated chute, the car can simply be left and a trained and insured valet will move it to the airport's car park.

Before arrival back in Scotland, this valet will then return the vehicle to the FastPark area so passengers can leave the airport quickly and conveniently.

Edinburgh Airport states on their website: "FastPark is our super-convenient self-service valet parking option.

"Basically you just need to drive up to the car park, located just a short walk from check-in, drop off your keys, and we'll do the rest. It really is as easy as that.

"After you've dropped your vehicle off one of our fully trained team will drive it to our secure on-airport site for the duration of your trip. It will then be returned to a FastPark bay in time for your return."

The service is available from £5 a day, and can be pre-booked on Edinburgh Airport's website here.

Edinburgh Airport has also shared a five-step guide to using FastPark.

Step 1

Drive into the photo booth where HD cameras will take images of your car.

Step 2

Park in one of the designated ferry lanes and head to the FastPark reception.

Step 3

Check your vehicle in using the booking barcode or the booking reference on your confirmation. Add a FastPark tab to your keyring and pop your keys in the chute.

Step 4

Once check-in is completed, the kiosk will print a ticket to attach to your keyring. Don’t forget to drop your keys in the chute!

Step 5

On your return, simply scan your barcode at our collection lockers (located at FastPark reception) and pick up your keys. The check-out kiosk will inform which parking bay your vehicle is parked in.
