Off airport car parks provide bargain prices and free transfers to the terminal

Uk airports are constsntly trying to generate bigger profits and airport parking charges have gone up considerably in recent times. Availability on a lot of airports is restrictive and the space for car parking is at a premium in peak season and parking costs can be nearly as much as a flight.

Parking at terminal can be extremely expensive especially if you just arrive at the airport without pre-booking. This is some time called the gate price or the turn up rate. Because of increased competition that off airport car parks have provided most airports allow you to book prior which will cut down the cost but will still be far more than parking at the airport. If needing for Gatwick hotel parking, Heathrow airport parking or East Midlands airport parking be sure to compare on and of airport prices.

Traditionally car parks situated off the airport were just a field close to the airport surrounded by a chain link fence. These car parks through amalgamations, poorer operatives going out of business, technological advancement such as selling online, Safer Park Mark car parks ran by the police officers association and transport regulation by local authorities have developed into first class outfits.

If a traveller is in arush, parking on site could be the best option but if time is not of the essence the chepest parking will always be found at an off site car park.

The other main advantage of using an off airport car park is that you can avoid having to navigate around a frantic terminal where many car drivers have little or no idea where they are going but are forced to move at the same speed as other drivers. This is a far less hassle free way of getting to the airport.
