Barrierless

The barrierless system will replace traditional barriers at our Drop Off and Pick Up forecourts, allowing drivers to drop off and pick up passengers without stopping at the barrier. With no barriers, you’ll simply drive straight through and pay remotely, either by pre-registering for an Autopay account or as a guest by midnight the following day.

There are no plans to increase the tariffs for Drop-Off and Pick-Up in line with this update. 

You can pay online: pay.manchesterairport.co.uk

Payments cannot be made using cash or cheque. Additionally, no payment for our drop-off and pick-up areas can be made upon exiting, as there are no payment barriers in these areas.

Payment must be made by midnight the day after your visit to avoid a Parking Charge being sent to the registered vehicle holder.
