PRLog (Press Release) –
Nov 20, 2009 – With the high cost of fuel and low profit margins for airlines, airports in the UK make most of their money from the “extras” they provide such as parking. Quite often holiday makers who just turn up to an airport and pay for parking on the day will pay a much higher cost for their parking, but it needn’t be that way. A few quick searches online even the day before you travel can save you up to hundreds of pounds.
What are the different options of parking available?
When it comes to saving money on your airport parking it’s important to know what it is you are booking. There are quite a few different types of airport parking available at most UK airports and all come at a different cost. The main types of airport parking are:
• On site – The car park of the airport and its operators.
• Off site – A car park that is not located in the airport, usually a private company
• Park and ride – off-site car parking with a free bus that shuttles passengers back to the airport
• Meet and greet – A “valet” style service where your car is parked for you
How can I save money on my airport Parking?
Book well in advance and you can save up to 60% on most airport parking. Leave it later and the saving will be less, but don’t under any circumstances just turn up to the airport! Even if you have left it as late as the day or morning before you travel, booking before you turn up will still save you quite a bit of cash.
The first place to try is a price comparison site, giving you an overall idea of the prices available. It’s worth using a few as most will give slightly different results due to affiliations with certain car parks and special offers they may have at different times of the year.
The main price comparison sites for airport parking are:
• Holiday Extras
• FHR
• Gosimply
Where can I make the biggest savings?
Quite often the best savings to make are on the local, smaller run airport car parks. These will always be off-site and some may offer a meet and greet service at a price similar to standard airport parking. It takes a bit more searching to find these smaller local businesses but often this is where the biggest savings can be made. One example of a smaller local firm providing good value for money meet and greet airport parking at Leeds Bradford Airport is LCS Parking. The prices of LCS parking are set out below.
LCS Meet and Greet Parking at Leeds Bradford Price List:
1 Week £34.75
4 Days £26

Good luck saving money on your airport parking!
