Follow on Google News | Tips for finding cheap UK Airport ParkingCheap.co.uk release new promotional code for those looking to save on their airport car parking this summer.
By: Terry Exley A cheap.co.uk spokesmen commented: “Airport parking is one of those ‘little extras’ that many travellers forget and these can soon add to the costs of a holiday”. These travel extras include items such as car hire, airport parking and travel insurance and whilst they are not required for all travellers, for many they are. For example most have no option but to park at the airport with taking a train or bus just not practical especially with luggage and extremely excited children to keep together. The costs of parking in the UK is often in the news with various city centres criticised for charging too much but it’s much the same at airports. Whilst prices do vary wildly between the different airports, it’s not uncommon to pay £10 per day. If you use the Heathrow short stay car park prices are currently £51.80 per day (February 2012). The last thing you want to be doing when arriving at the airport is looking around at car park prices, hence why so many pull into a car park and leave the thoughts of costs until they return. Imagine returning home from a week away and getting stung over £400 for parking, don’t worry, that is the worst case scenario. For those who headed to the long stay typically its around £100 for a week. The below guide, in conjunction with our discount code will help those looking for airport car parking find cheaper deals: 1. Use an off airport park and ride – there are more and more off airport park and rides appearing and they tend to offer better prices then the on airport official car parks. Typically you will be required to leave keys with the car park so they can block park your vehicle and you catch a transfer bus to the airport, provided by the car park. 2. Research before you travel – airport car park rates tend to be high as they know many travellers head to their car parks and have to pay they rates. Travellers are in a rush and can’t risk missing a flight. 3. Pre-book in advance – many comparison sites can be found on the web comparing prices, reviews and car parks. By pre-booking you tend to get a discount of up to 60% but this does vary between airports and how far in advance you are looking. 4. Check all the options – Whilst typically off airport car parks are the cheapest option, it’s always worth checking the costs of meet and greets. This type of services was previously reserved just for businessmen but with the level of competition pushing prices down, these can sometimes be cheaper then the car parks. Please bear in mind that this type of service is not for everyone so consider carefully if you would be happy letting someone drive your vehicle, the last thing you want whilst away is to be worried about your car.
