Parking at the airport
At the beginning of a flight journey, whether for a holiday or a business trip, is the journey to the airport. With poor transport connections or a lot of luggage, travelling to the airport by car is usually the more comfortable solution. Those who are not taken to the airport therefore need a parking space. Parking at the airport, especially at large airports, can be challenging for holidaymakers and businesstravellers. Especially during peak travel times, it is often quite time-consuming and difficult to find a suitable parking space quickly. Since the vehicle usually has to be parked for a longer period of time, a public parking space near the airport is neither safe nor recommendable. The parking offers directly at the airport terminal, on the other hand, are usually very expensive.
The different options for airport parking
At every airport there are a number of ways to park your car. As a general rule, the closer the car park is to the terminal, the more expensive it is. In many cases, long-term parking in a multi-storey car park is not really desired by the operator and is correspondingly expensive. Through targeted pricing, the parking spaces further away from the terminal are usually much cheaper for longer parking. Every airport has a corresponding price structure to control parking by car. Therefore, there are usually price boards according to the parking duration as well as the distance to the airport terminal. At peak times, and especially during the holiday season, there are usually one or more parking spaces further away. The greater distance is compensated for by particularly low prices. To park at an airport with limited space, there is usually an additional parking offer from commercial car park operators, which are a little further away but include a transfer to the airport. This means that parking spaces are available even at peak times.
Parking with shuttle service to the airport
To make it easier to use a parking space further away, especially if you have a lot of luggage, there is usually a free shuttle service between the car park or parking garage and the terminal. The transfer to the airport usually takes only a few minutes. The shuttle vehicles usually also have enough space for the luggage and run at short intervals. However, it is important to plan enough time, as parking, the transfer with the shuttle bus and possible waiting take time. It is therefore advisable to find out in advance how much time is required so that you can reach the flight comfortably and without rushing. As a rule, you should arrive at the car park 2.5 hours before your departure.
Parking with Valet Service at the Airport
At many airports, valet parking is also offered. This means that the car is handed over to an employee of the parking provider at the terminal and the car is brought back to the airport on return. This eliminates the problem of finding a parking space or car park for the traveller. Valet parking is a great advantage, especially for travellers in a hurry.
Book the right airport parking space in advance
For most people, a flight is associated with a certain amount of excitement. For this reason, it is advisable to also plan the journey to the airport and the necessary parking in advance. More or less good information on parking facilities is available for all airports. This not only helps to find the cheapest parking fees, but also to determine the time required for the journey. To avoid unpleasant surprises, it is always a good idea to book your parking space in advance. Because then the parking space is secure and the often tedious search for a parking space in the desired price category is no longer necessary.
The desired parking space can be booked online from the comfort of your home via the Internet. The booking confirmation is immediate, but payment is not due until arrival and can be made in cash, by EC card or credit card. If travel plans change, the parking space can usually be cancelled free of charge up to 24 hours before arrival at the car park. In addition to the car park booking, other services can be booked in many cases. During the trip, the car can be repaired if necessary or it can be refuelled or washed.
Advantages of reserving a parking space
The biggest advantage of reserving parking spaces at airports is that the space is securely available as booked - regardless of whether it is an outdoor parking space or a covered parking garage.This makes it easier to plan the journey and the time required. Any transfer that may become necessary can also be limited in time. With the additional services that can be booked, the time of absence can be used to have work done on the car, refuelling or washing. For those who prefer comfort and convenience, the pre-booked valet service is highly recommended. As a free cancellation is possible up to 24 hours before arrival at the car park, changes at short notice can be accommodated without incurring costs. Attractive prices are available thanks to the pool of reliable providers. There are also always favourable package or special offers.
