Airport
parking
It can work out
considerably cheaper to pre-book your space at the airport.
Save as much as 60% to turn-up-and-pay (through the nose)
prices. You may also want to consider arranging an airport
transfer through www.nationalexpress.co.uk
or a2btransfers.
There are several different types of airport parking ranging
from the cheapest airport parking to valet parking to Meet
and Greet parking. So how does it all work and which will
be the most suitable for you?
On-Airport Parking - This refers to parking within
the airport boundary. Airports, however, are generally big
places so always check the transfer times and distance to
the terminal. In general the closer you are to the terminal
the more you pay for the convenience.
Off-Airport Parking - This means it is
located outside the airport boundary. Ironically, the transfer
times for off-airport car parks can sometimes be less than
the on-airport times, due to their location, so make sure
you check.
Valet or Meet and Greet Parking
- Arguably the most convenient option for parking
at the airport; this service means you are met at the terminal
by a driver who will collect your car and take it to one
of the on or off-airport car parks leaving you free to check-in.
When you return, your car will be delivered back to the
terminal for you. This is great for large families with
loads of luggage. There are some variants on this service
so be sure to read the details.
