Which airports charge most?
Gatwick and Stansted now charge £10 for drop-offs, up from £7. London City Airport charges £8, but only for five minutes. Edinburgh Airport has increased its fee to £8.50. These charges have risen by about a third on average since summer 2025, according to RAC analysis, making short stays very costly.
