The secret to saving a substantial amount of money on what could be a very large airport parking bill if you have to leave your car for many days is to book it online in advance. The on-line pre-booking system leads you step by step as you learn which parking is the best for you and then learn how to fill out the paperwork.
Ensuring the availability of parking is very important when you need to make your plane connection and is another benefit of making all arrangements online in advance. During the busiest times, if the long-term parking lot is filled, you would be required to park in the short-term parking and pay an exorbitant charge. The advance booking guarantees you a spot in the long-term parking or car park of your choice.
The benefit of parking on the airport itself is the convenience of being on-site and the time that is saved. However, parking off-site and taking a shuttle to the airport will save you additional money.
Pre-booking can give you as much as a 60% discount compared to the rate you will be charged if you just show up at the time of your departure and expect to park in the long-term parking.
If you are concerned about security, check on that issue when you learn about the different offerings.
An example of an excellent airport car parking service is ours at the Edinburgh airport. Not only do we allow you to save that 60%, but if you can find the same airport parking product elsewhere at a cheaper rate within 24 hours of paying for your booking, we will give you the parking for free! Read our terms and conditions regarding that.
Our long stay car park within the airport perimeter has transfers that run around the clock, and the terminal can be reached in just a few minutes. Our off-airport car park gives a greater discount, and you can ride a transfer bus to and from the airport. Short stay parking is just a short walk to the terminal. Or you may choose instead a “meet and greet parking” feature where your car will be taken for you and brought back to the terminal upon your return.
