£8 for twenty minutes in Car Park 1
Take a ticket at the barrier and use the drop-off lane on the left. It is the only place the airport permits pick-up or drop-off, and there is no free option.
Long Stay beats Short Stay past twenty minutes
Short Stay jumps to £15 between twenty minutes and an hour. Car Park 2, the Long Stay, is a flat £10 for anything up to four hours. For a delayed flight the "wrong" car park is the cheaper one.

Frequently asked questions about collecting someone from Norwich Airport
What time should I leave to collect someone from Norwich?
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 Norwich Airport?
Only in the designated area of Car Park 1, the Short Stay in front of the terminal. Take a ticket at the barrier and use the drop-off lane on the left, or park in a bay if you want to go in. It is £8 for up to 20 minutes, £15 for 20 to 60 minutes and £20 for up to four hours, paid by card on the way out.
Is there anywhere free to wait at Norwich?
No. Norwich publishes no free pick-up or drop-off option. The cheapest way to wait out a delay is Car Park 2, the Long Stay, which is a flat £10 for anything up to four hours — less than the £15 Short Stay charges for half an hour.
Is there a Blue Badge concession at Norwich?
Yes. Dedicated Blue Badge pick-up and drop-off spaces are in Car Park 1, and a Blue Badge holder can stay up to four hours for the current 20-minute rate. Take the Blue Badge to the parking office in the terminal and the ticket is adjusted before you leave.
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.
