Always pre-book your airport parking
Rather than leaving your booking until the last minute www.goparknfly.co.uk recommends that you pre-book your airport parking as far in advance as possible as this will usually enable you to save money and get the best deals on your chosen car park.
Using the booking form above could secure you an early booking which will give you a greater choice of airport car parks, access to greater discounts, access to better rates and more options for holiday extra’s rather than leaving things until the last minute.
We appreciate it’s not always possible to book your airport parking in advance due to last minute holiday deals but in short, the more time between now and your flight, the better rate you should receive for airport parking.
Making a pre-booking gives you the peace of mind of a guaranteed airport parking space. Usually a pre-booking discount will be applied to the price which saves you money on the overall holiday costs. This discount could represent a significant saving. This saving would not usually be available to holidaymakers who don’t pre-book their airport parking and just turn up at the airport car park in hope that a car parking space is available.
Airport parking options
When making a decision which airport car park to choose there are a number of things which need to be considered by the customer. Factors which should be considered are those such as the required location, price and the type of car park you wish to use.
The types of airport parking which are now readily available are those as follows:
- Off Airport Parking
These car parks are located off the airport but are usually situated very close to the airport complex. There are usually several off airport car parks nearby UK airports for the customer to choose from. It is usually better value for money to use this type of secure parking and very simple and easy to use. Simply arrive at the car park reception, leave your car and keys and you will be transferred to the airport terminal by bus or coach. Your car will be parked for you by a member of the parking staff within the secure car park compound.
Many of the Off-Airport Car Parks now offer hand car wash facilities, so you could also get your car cleaned whilst you relax and enjoy your holiday.
Off-airport parking is usually the cheapest option for airport parking, so may be the best solution if you are on a tight holiday budget.
- On Airport Parking
These car parks operate a self-park car parking system as they are located within or adjacent to the airport. This makes for very convenient car parking at the airport.
The customer will be required to park their own vehicle upon arrival and then walk to their terminal as most of the car parks are within easy walking distance. Alternatively, for those On-Airport Car Parks which are slightly further away from the terminals a courtesy bus will usually be provided.
- Meet and Greet
Meet and Greet airport parking is the equivalent to Valet parking and is the most convenient way for you to park. You simply arrive at the airport terminal to be greeted by a car park representative who will make a quick check of the vehicle, then transfer your car to a secured car park for you. This leaves you free to start your holiday with ease.
At the end of your holiday the car parking representative will meet you outside the airport terminal and deliver your car back to you.
Meet and Greet airport parking is by far the quickest way to park; it offers the best option for those customers travelling to tight deadlines, who do not wished to be delayed after long-haul flights or families who wish to have the least disruption on their holiday.
Meet and Greet airport parking is usually the most expensive way to park at the airport and you need to be sure the airport parking company are insured to offer this type of service
Airport parking savings tips
Airport parking can considerably increase the cost of your holiday, but it’s usually the option people choose if they do not live close to an airport, or are travelling with a family. Go park ‘n’ fly can offer you some top tips to make sure you are not paying for more than is necessary.
Book Online – This will usually secure you the cheapest available price for airport parking. So take advantage of our cheap airport parking by booking online using the form at the top of this page.
Avoid Unnecessary Extra’s – Most airport car parks will offer you a free transfer to and from the airport. However, beware that some car parks will make a charge, so check the small print before you make a booking.
Stay the night in a hotel – It’s usually a cheaper option to combine your airport hotel and car parking booking. Believe it, or not, it can actually work out cheaper in some cases to combine an airport hotel and parking package than it is to just book airport parking. An airport parking / hotel package can be undertaken using the above booking form through www.goparknfly.co.uk. Combining a one night hotel stay with your airport parking can lengthen the enjoyment of your holiday, make travelling easier as well as costing less than if you book each component separately.
Time your flights just right – You could be liable for paying for one extra night in the airport car park depending on your flights departure or arrival time. One day of airport parking is calculated as a whole day; therefore if you park on a Monday and return to collect your car on a Monday this counts as 8 days car parking. It is the same if your trip runs over 14 days, meaning you will be charged for 15 days.
Airport Parking - arrival and return procedures
After placing your airport parking booking, please make sure as part of your booking confirmation you get a clear set of procedures regarding your arrival and return to your chosen car park.
There is nothing worse than returning from holiday in a busy airport at 4 o’clock in the morning to discover you don't know how to get back to your car. You need to be sure you have clear instructions on how to get back to the car park, or where to go in order to find the car park; let alone finding your car!
If you need to catch a shuttle bus then please make sure you are aware of how to arrange this with the airport parking company. Be aware of where you need to go to catch the shuttle bus.
Or, if you have taken the ‘meet and greet’ parking option then be aware of the number you need to call to arrange the retrieval of your car. Make sure you confirm the location of where to meet the car parking representative.
Security
Check the background of the car park to see what sort of security measures are in place to give you some peace of mind.
Some of the more prestigious airport car parks have been given awards so lookout for these, plus the following:
- Perimeter Fencing
- Entry and Exit Barriers
- Regular Security Patrols
- Manned 24 hours a day
- CCTV
Most airport car parks these days have facilities which won't allow cars in or out without sufficient booking references, identification or signatures but it's a good idea to check.
Alternatively, you could look out for the Park Mark logo to ensure you are parking your car safely and securely.
The Park Mark tick lets you know the car park has been checked by the Associations of Chief Police Officers (ACPO/S) to ensure they are being properly managed and maintained to high security standards.
The Park Mark schemes aim is to reduce crime and the fear of crime in car parks. It is not only used for airport parking but other car parks located at hospitals or shopping centres and so on.
