Always pre-book your airport car 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 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 is 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 car parking.

Making a pre-booking gives you the peace of mind of a guaranteed car 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 which would not usually be available to holidaymakers who chose not to pre-book their parking and turned up at the airport car park in hope that a car parking space will be available.

Airport car 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 car parking which are now readily available are those as follows:

• Secured Off-Airport Parking

These car parks are off the airport but are usually located very close to the airport complex. There are usually several off airport car parks nearby the 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 you 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 car park compound.

Many of the Secured Off-Airport Car Parks now offer hand car wash facilities, so you could now get your car cleaned whilst you relax and enjoy your holiday. This 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

This 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 parking representative who then transfers your car to a secured car park for you which leaves you free to start your holiday with ease. At the end of your holiday the car parking representative will deliver you car back to you at the airport.

This service 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. This is probably the most expensive way to park at the airport and you need to be sure the airport car parking company are insured to offer this type of service.

Airport car parking savings tips

Time your flights just right – You could be liable for paying for one extra night in the car park depending on the departure or arrival time.
One day of car 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 so you will be charged for 15 days.

Airport Car Parking - arrival and return procedures
