Airport Parking Tips to Save Money
Linda Martin
Figuring out how to get back and forth to the airport when you are flying is often a very stressful situation. If you have an early flight do you ask a friend for a ride or should you just park the car? Today airports have short, long term and economy parking . You can also find some shared services as well as places that are in town that let you leave your car when you travel.
If you want to use short-term parking keep in mind this costs the most but it may be fine if you are going away for a short trip. It is generally very close to the airport and easy for moving your luggage to the terminal.
Long-term parking generally is used for those taking a vacation and there is a bit more inconvenience since you may need to take a shuttle to reach the airport terminal check-in point. The shuttle service is free and included with your parking fee.
When you park at the economy parking lot you save the most money but have a longer shuttle to the airport. Compare this with the long-term rates to see what works best for you. If you need to be in a sheltered lot, you may not get that in economy parking.
Many people forget where they park so remember to write down the aisle number and parking spot number so you can find it. There is nothing worse than returning from vacation and spending an hour walking up and down a parking lot with lots of luggage lost. You may be tired and not having the energy to do this, so forethought is a good idea.
Parking off-site is another option for travellers and some places entice you with a car wash, free cup of coffee and newspaper. Hotels and rental places often offer this service and shuttle you to your terminal.
When you park off-site see if the pricing for a covered vs uncovered spot makes a difference to you. Keep in mind that security may also be different depending on the neighborhood of the parking service.
There is something called a shared ride van where you pay only 15.00 or so and are put in a van with other travellers. The convenience is that you can leave your car at home. The inconvenience is that you may be in the van for a while depending on the order you were place in for drop offs or pick ups.
Think out what works best for you when you travel and how much convenience you need, time you have and the length of your trip. Parking can be expensive so it's important to compare pricing.
