Choosing Between Different Types of Airport Parking

[Ken]

When you're booking your holidays, often one of the last things to be
thought of is how you're going to get to the airport. Do you take a
bus, train or taxi? Often the most convenient method is to drive to
the airport and park your car there while you are away. But where do
you park? Is it a safe car park? And what kind of car park do you
book?
There are three main types of airport car parking: Onsite parking,
offsite parking and meet and greet / valet parking. Onsite parking is
fairly self explanatory. You park within the airport grounds, and
either walk or take a short shuttle bus to your terminal. This is very
convenient, as you are very close to the airport, and know exactly
where you car is going to be left for however long you are away.
Offsite parking involves parking your car at a car park usually a few
miles away from the airport, and taking a transfer bus to the
terminal. This is often cheaper than onsite parking, but of course
incurs more hassle when it comes to getting to and returning from the
airport, and in some cases you have to leave your car keys behind for
your car to be parked by a car park attendant. Not all travellers are
comfortable with this scenario.
Meet and Greet / Valet parking has become popular in recent years, and
is an extremely convenient way to park your car at an airport.
Basically, you call the company shortly before you arrive at the
airport, and are met by a chauffeur who will then take your car away.
When you return from your travels, you give them a call, and they meet
you in the arrivals lounge ready to give your keys back. Incredibly
convenient and a great way to get your holiday off to a relaxed start,
but expect to pay a tidy premium for the service.
If you book your airport car parking early, you can expect to make
good savings - sometimes up to 60% - so it makes sense to plan these
things well in advance of your travel date.
Remember also, when travelling It can often be cheaper to travel from
a smaller UK airports compared to the larger ones, even if it is a
little further away. Parking and often the flight itself can be
cheaper, making your holiday even more cost effective.
