www.Parctel.com: Just a little bit of commonsense will help you understand the different pricing structures in Airport Parking.
Consider the following terms:
- Undercover Parking
- Open Air Parking
- Short Term Parking
- Long Term Parking
Most Airport Parking falls into the above broad categories. You will get the most cost effective airport parking rates if you park in an open air long term parking lot. The closer you are to the terminal buildings and the shorter your vehicle's stay in the parking lot the more expensive your parking becomes.
This lesson in economics has not gone unnoticed by the airport companies who have now also introduced Undercover Terminal Parking in high rise parking facilities, allowing you to almost step out of your vehicle and straight into the terminal.
One other option in this equation is Meet and Greet or Valet Parking as it is known in the USA. Here a driver will meet you at the terminal curbside and take you car to a secure parking lot. Make sure that the parking lot is secure before you hand over your keys. Once again distance from the airport is the deciding factor in the cost of such parking. The basic rule of thumb is that the further the facility is away from the airport the cheaper the parking.
You could always Hire a Chauffer to take you to the airport or if you are really concerned about your Rolls Royce in any of the Airport Parking options, just park it in the closest disabled parking spot to the terminal that you can find - the local police will look after it very well in anticipation of collecting the fine from you when you get back. :-)
