Later this morning I'm dropping some friends at Birmingham Airport.
What coins does the car park machine take?
I admire your optimism that punters will drop in here, like they do with their begs for ferry codes!
Ouch! You have now made me feel cheap and shallow Wessie.
Je swee daze olay
In all seriousness, like most airports Birmingham offers an official way to avoid the drop-off charge by disgorging your travellers at a free drop-off car park (max 10 minutes) near to Car Park 5.
From there it's a 10 minute walk to the terminal or catch a free shuttle bus.
All done - 10 minutes free - no charge.Free Drop Off Info & Parking Charges - Birmingham Airport Website

But ONLY those from the Birmingham Mint!Florins.
I'm sure it's now £6 minimum charge for pickup.... for and up to the first 30 mins. The bastards!most airports have a parking fee now for drop off and collection. Manchester is expensive for this, most "collectors" park around 20 mins away from the airport and advise the person they are collecting to ring them when they get through passport control to the conveyor belts waiting for the baggage. the driver can then head to short stay pick up pay £3 , collect and leave.
seems along trip from Garstang that AustinW, glad they are home safe though
It is £6 per half hour. Barrier free entry to most car parks too together with confusing signage means you can enter a pay zone without realising it and can’t back out without paying (DAMHIK). No 10 minute grace period or anything.I'm sure it's now £6 minimum charge for pickup.... for and up to the first 30 mins. The bastards!
Exactly what happened to me the other week at 02.30. Shocking signage which initially put me back on the westbound M56 until I could turn around. I got that frustrated after eventually getting into the correct car park and with time ticking faster than normal that I had a bit of a shouty petulant frenzy in the middle of the road outside Terminal 3. There is that much signage that it's confusing to non regular visitors...and then while your dithering the fekkin taxi driving cnuts are cutting you up from both sides and have disabled their indicators on purpose. The utter bastards.....the taxi drivers too. Complete and utter bastards and I blame Margaret Fekkin Thatcher for all this.It is £6 per half hour.

Oh, and apparently a £100 fine for dropping someone off or picking someone up outside the respective designated areas too. How they monitor that I don’t know but apparently they do.
