Edinburgh Airport is Scotland's largest and sees thousands of passengers pass through its terminals monthly.

However, leaving your car here while holidaying or picking up a friend from a foreign trip can be challenging and costly.

If you're coming to Edinburgh Airport via car, here is everything you need to know about parking and pick-ups.

Are there free pick-up and drop-off services at Edinburgh Airport?

Free pick-up and drop-off services are available at Edinburgh Airport (at the long-stay car park) for stays of up to 30 minutes.

Those staying for more than this allotted time will have to pay a tariff (which increases the longer a driver remains there).

Stays of between 30 minutes and an hour will cost £8, while those staying between one and three hours can expect to be charged £18.

For quick and easy pick-ups and drop-offs, there is also a charged zone near the EDI control tower.

Stays of up to 10 minutes will cost motorists £5 with every minute after this costing £1.
