The report highlights how expensive gate prices can be when compared with booking in advance - as much as three times the price of pre-booked airport parking.
According to the Which? report, 36% of travellers drive themselves to the airport. And without pre-booking, these travellers can leave themselves ‘vulnerable’ to costly parking charges.
The report cites Heathrow Airport’s own car parking with prices of around £120 per week when arriving without a booking. Booking in advance is a much cheaper option and the sooner you book parking the cheaper it is likely to be - much the same as budget airline ticket prices.
Following the publication of the report, Gatwick meet and greet parking company, Help-Me-Park, issued the following tips for booking the cheapest airport parking:
- Book the airport parking the moment the travel plans have been confirmed. This secures a company’s best price, not to mention the peace of mind that the parking is booked; and that’s one less thing to worry about!
- Another top tip from Help-Me-Park.com is always to book your airport car parking online, again this is cheaper than making same booking over the phone
- Combine this – booking online and in advance - for the very best price
- Always make sure the company you are booking your valet parking with is a reputable and reliable operator
- Ensure the company provides fully insured, mature and experienced drivers
- Always make sure the parking operator provides a land line contact number and 24/7 contact number.
