Collecting at Exeter
Thirty free minutes in P4
Exeter names Car Park P4 for both dropping off and collecting, free for up to half an hour. Stay on and it is only £2 to the hour and £5 for up to four — the gentlest overrun of any airport here.
£8 for fifteen minutes opposite the terminal
Car Park P1 has drop-off and pick-up bays directly opposite the Main Terminal. Past fifteen minutes it is £15 up to an hour, paid by card at the exit barrier or the pay stations.
P2 is £15 from the first minute
Pull into the wrong car park and a two-minute collection costs £15. P2 is where Blue Badge holders and drivers collecting passengers with reduced mobility pick up from Arrivals 2. Stopping on the approach roads is not permitted at all.

Frequently asked questions about collecting someone from Exeter Airport
What time should I leave to collect someone from Exeter?
It depends on the flight and on your traffic, which is what the planner above works out. As a rule, allow for the passenger to get off the aircraft, clear the border and collect bags before they reach the kerb — around 20 minutes for a domestic or Irish arrival, and longer after a long-haul flight — then add your own drive time on top.
Where do you pick someone up at Exeter Airport?
Car Park P4 gives you 30 minutes free and is named by the airport for pick-ups as well as drop-offs. Car Park P1 has pick-up bays opposite the Main Terminal at £8 for up to 15 minutes, then £15 up to an hour. Avoid P2 for a quick collection — it is £15 from the first minute.
What if the flight is late at Exeter?
Exeter is one of the kindest airports here for a delay. P4 goes from free to £2 after 30 minutes, and £5 covers you up to four hours — so if the planner shows a slipping arrival, P4 is the place to wait rather than P1, where an hour is £15.
Where do I collect a passenger who needs assistance at Exeter?
Blue Badge holders and drivers collecting passengers with reduced mobility can drop off or pick up in Car Park P1, and can pick up in Car Park P2 to collect from Arrivals 2. Drivers without a Blue Badge collecting someone with reduced mobility can move to the disability bays — the airport's Special Assistance page carries the detail.
Does FlightPickup arrange the car?
No. It is a free planning tool and nothing more. We do not operate vehicles, employ drivers or take payment for journeys — we tell you what time to set off, and you drive.
