When you are traveling out of town on a flight, you will need a place to park your vehicle that is safe and affordable until you can arrive back after your trip. Airport parking options provide several different options along with various other shuttle and transportation methods you can use to make that portion of your journey less stressful. The following provides you with some tips to help you be prepared with travel and airport parking arrangements for your next vacation.
Look at Parking Options
As you make arrangements to travel by airplane, you will need a way to get to the airport. You can get a ride from a friend or family member, take a taxi, or leave your vehicle parked in the airport parking lot until you return. Having your vehicle in the parking area is convenient for you and will help you get on your way without having to wait for someone to pick you up or having to arrange other travel. Just be sure you choose the right type of parking for your needs and finances.
Hourly parking and valet parking are a good idea for a short-term arrangement, but not if you will be gone for a day or two. You can check into a daily parking lot or a long-term parking lot, which will range in price from higher to lower prices, based on their location from the airport. Usually, the further from the airport the lot is, the less expensive it will be, but each will come with a shuttle service to and from the airport.
Make the Most of Convenience
No matter where you choose to park your car at the airport, make sure you are ready to handle any unexpected surprises before and after you park your vehicle. If you are traveling over a weekend or during the holidays, it is a good idea to make a reservation with the parking lot to make sure you will have a spot to leave your car in. You don't want to arrive for your flight and realize there are no long-term spots available and you can't afford a short-term spot. Get a reservation and bring a copy of it on your phone so you have verification.
You should also check into the availability of services at the long-term parking lot. Is there going to be an attendant on duty to drive you to your vehicle, help you locate it, or provide other services when needed? For example, if your tires are flat, your battery is dead, or your vehicle is covered in a layer of ice or snow, it will be nice to have someone who can help you inflate the tires, jump the battery, or clean off your vehicle.
