All car parking facilities at the airports will offer some kind of discounted airport parking and consist of 4 types, short stay car parking, mid stay car parking, long stay car parking and off site airport parking which will be situated near to the airport but not on the airport car parking sites. It is important to determine if discount airport parking is available within all of the above options.
The costs will vary for all of these and may influence your decision as to which car park to use. There may not be a huge discount available in the short stay car parks as they are the most convenient as they are generally are the nearest to the airport. Mid stay car parks are generally the best option in terms of distance from the airport terminal and cost because discounted airport parking will be available the longer your stay. Long stay car parking is a long way from the terminal but the cheapest option in respect of airport car parking and again rates will be discounted the longer you stay.
Off site airport parking is usually via an independent source based several miles outside of the airport car parking facilities but discount airport parking will be available too if you are planning a long trip. Various companies operate this service and can be found either on line or via a local directory of the airport area.
Off site airport parking is a very popular choice for people who will be travelling for a long period of time and car parking within the airport is not an economic option. People use it even for short trips as very often a very personal chauffeur service is offered by companies operating off airport parking.
Local hotels to the airports also offer either discounted parking if you wish to leave your car within the hotel car park or sometimes free parking if you your stay with them has been sufficiently long. They will also offer a shuttle bus to the airport terminal if leaving your car with them is a possibility.
Payment for any discount airport parking will be determined by the individual airport or company concerned however it is essential to pre-book if off airport parking is your choice. The other options of short stay, mid stay or long stay do not need to be pre-booked. Credit and debit cards are accepted for pre-payment for discounted airport parking and either a deposit or full payment may be required.
To find the best deal and your discounted airport parking the very best option is to go on line and type in discount airport parking. The options will then be narrowed down by airport and their local surrounding areas. This will then be narrowed to the companies offering discount airport parking.
You will be asked to input your dates and times of travel and the best discounted price will appear. Always check that if the cheapest option is off site that you are aware of the transfer times to the airport terminals rather than risk missing check in. |
