Airport Parking
Airport Parking
makes your life a breeze. When you travel abroad
or within Britain you often have to think of
many things. You have to think about what to
pack, travel insurance, remembering your passport
and also a good book to read on your journey.
Have you thought about how you are going to
get to the airport?
Saying you're going to Heathrow. You could take
the tube, or the Heathrow Express, but then
you have to take your bags on those, and getting
to Paddington by tube for the Heathrow Express
lugging huge bags isn't easy. So maybe you may
take a minicab. From the outskirts of London
this is at the very least £20 each way,
probably more. Some people may take a coach,
or bus, but again you have to lug your luggage
around. This is why some people will drive to
the airport. Completely in control of their
time, and able to choose where to put their
car. If you put a price on convenience, then
the cost of parking at the airport may not be
that much in the greater scheme of things.
With some airports, of course, you don't have
the choice of how to get there like you do with
London's airports. You HAVE to drive, or get
a cab, which means that the parking facilities
are even more important. Well, due to the classic
ability of the business world to meet demand,
there is a great choice of parking facilities
at every major airport in the UK.
When we talk about airport parking there are
two types. The first is "public" parking,
which is provided by the airports themselves,
and the second type is "private" parking,
which is provided by private companies, hence
the name. This site details the parking facilities
offered by the airports plus the major port
and train station serving Europe, telling you
the user about the choice, giving you instructions
for finding and using them, detailing prices
where possible, and any other information we
think you'll find useful. The private car parks
have provided links on these sites, so you can
follow those links to read about what they have
to offer.
One thing you should always consider is pre-booking
your car park space. Not only can you make sure
that you get the car park that you want, but
you can also save money.
Another thing you should look out for is security.
Your car is important to you, and you will want
to make sure that it is safe. So you should
look for the car park that you use to have been
awarded Secured Car Park Status by the ACPO
(Association of Chief Police Officers), and
is administered by the British Parking Association.
