We have 5 top tips on how to get the best deals on airport parking, and save yourself a lot of hassle to get your trip off to the best possible start.
Airport Parking Best Deals – 5 Top Tips
1) Book parking online before you travel, it is always cheaper.
2) Check how far the car park is from the terminal and what the transfer arrangements are. You may find you have a choice between near and convenient and cheap and miles away.
3) If you have an early morning flight, check out hotel / parking combos. These can be cost effective and cut a lot of the stress out of getting to the airport.
4) If you want to stay in an airport hotel before you travel, check the transfer arrangements to the terminal before you book. Sometimes these are infrequent and expensive.
5) If you are travelling with a lot of luggage and / or small children, look at meet and greet or valet services. This is often not much more expensive than bus transfer options and can save a lot of time and hassle.
