A flight arriving late in the evening can change how you organise the final part of the trip. With self-service parking, you can collect your car 24/7 on the dates you have booked. The useful preparation happens before departure: check the collection date and save the information you will need after landing.
Check which date you will collect the car
A flight landing before midnight does not always mean you will reach the car park before midnight. Allow time for disembarking, collecting luggage and arranging the trip back to Kennedy Drive. Book the collection date that matches when you expect to retrieve the car.
If you are unsure about the dates, contact our team before confirming. Use your itinerary as a starting point and remember that access depends on your booked dates.
Save your keys, reference and instructions
Keep the car keys in a consistent place in your travel bag. Save the booking reference and access instructions on your phone so they are easy to find after a long flight. A saved copy is useful if you cannot quickly retrieve the original message.
Our site is self-service. Follow the access instructions from your confirmation and lock the gate behind you when leaving. Read how parking and collection work before your journey, rather than trying to work it out at the gate.
Organise transport back to Kennedy Drive
Arrange your own taxi or Uber from the terminal to 201 Kennedy Drive, Cambridge. We do not operate a shuttle or include a terminal transfer in the parking price. Check your provider's availability and follow the airport's current pickup instructions.
The short drive is usually around three to five minutes, depending on conditions. Waiting for transport and loading luggage take additional time. If you need a specific vehicle type, make that part of your plan before travelling.
Contact us if a delay changes the date
If a delay or rebooking moves collection to a different date, contact our team with your booking reference so the stay can be extended or rescheduled. Keeping the same return date is different from crossing into an additional calendar date.
Our guide to flight delays and parking changes explains the details to have ready. For a new trip, check your parking dates online and include the return transfer in your budget.
