Two UK airports in top five most expensive in the world for parking - see full list

Two of the UK's airports are in the top five most expensive for parking in the world, new data has revealed.

Heathrow and Gatwick fall second and fifth, respectively, on the list which was topped by Hamad International in Qatar.

The figures, released by Moneybarn, looked at the largest airports in every country - with the list totalling 39 - by the number of commercial passengers.

They show the cheapest airport for parking is São Paulo/Guarulhos International Airport in Brazil, which charges just R$135 (£21.53) for a week's stay.

Hamad, meanwhile, charges QR960 (£433.61), while Heathrow, in London, charges £255.30 and Gatwick, West Sussex, charges £180.

The top 10 is rounded off with Singapore Changi, Miami International, Seattle-Tacoma International, Amsterdam and Frankfurt.

The second and third cheapest are Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen International and Antalya Airport.

The airport with the most significant drop in parking prices is Los Angeles International Airport, with prices dropping by 58.35% since last year and now going as low as $35.
