The UK government will review airport drop-off charges after a sharp rise in fees.
Prices at major UK airports rose by about a third since the summer of 2025.
Both airports charged £7 last year. Both now charge £10 for a short drop-off.
Edinburgh now charges £8.50, up from £6. Bournemouth charges £8, up from £5.
Heathrow is the UK's busiest airport. Its drop-off fee covers 10 minutes at the terminal.
An RAC survey found most drivers think the fees are unfair. Few understand why airports charge them.
The RAC says none of the top 10 airports in the EU charge drivers to drop off passengers.
Airports UK says the fees are part of the business model. It points to free drop-off points.
The government says the review aims to keep travel open to all and treat passengers fairly.
Most big airports offer free drop-off in a car park, with a shuttle bus to the terminal.
Cameras read your number plate. Pay by the airport's deadline or a small fee can grow.
