Airport Parking in the UK
Author: RockyA huge majority of people travelling abroad choose to leave their precious car in long stay car parks. The problem is – how much does it cost? Would it be cheaper to book a taxi? Well the fact of the matter is ~ sometimes it actually IS cheaper to book a taxi than to take the car down to the airport and check it in for a nice holiday watching planes for two weeks… That is of coarse if you don’t check out Purple Parking.
I’ve seen this place a number of times , and would certainly recommend you check their prices for airport parking before you go anywhere else. It’s actually the most simple layout for finding a quote for airport parking that I’ve seen, and since i only want you guys to get the best deals, so you can make the most of your money (and ultimately have more spending money when you’re out there!) – naturally i am going to let you guys know of this company!
We actually park at Gatwick usually when we go to Canada – and taking car parking options with hopper bus services that run every so many minutes are truly the best way of getting your holiday off to a quick start. Some of the car parks offered offer a service where you simply drive your car into a designated area, take your bags – show the desk your voucher or receipt, drop off your keys and they will go park your car up for you – leaving you with the task of simply hopping on a bus to take you the short distance to the airport.
Different companies (and tariffs) offer hopper bus services at different intervals. The one we use is generally every 10 minutes – though usually even the ones who are the least frequent are only 20 minutes.
If you would prefer a more direct approach, many airports also offer car parks which are effectively on the doorstep, though you usually have to pay a little more for these – so check out Purple Parking to see what tariffs are on offer and what your best quote will be!
