Traveling abroad involves lots of planning. Surfing the internet for budget hotels, bargaining with the airlines for the most lucrative package, buying the discount tickets for sight seeing all are the part of an exciting vacation. But in our scurry to secure all those lucrative deals we often overlook a vital aspect of international travel and that relates to airport parking. While pre booking of the airport parking can give you immense saving, in our unawareness about the matter we often ignore this aspect of air travel.
Let's see, how pre booking can help you to save your hard earned dollars.
Most of the leading airports charge two parking rates. The first relates to turn up rate and the second relates to pre booking rate. Pre-book rate allows you to book the parking space in advance and pay before departure. Now the pre-booking rate at almost all the airports can be around 30% cheaper than the turn up rate.
Pre booking of airport parking is a simple procedure that does not take more than ten minutes. But devoting this little time you will be able to save considerably on your total travel expenses. But how can you do this? Well, check out with our useful tips.
Take a little more trouble and surf the internet to find out the standard rates of airport parking. But the rule of the thumb is: never base your decision on the price tag alone. This may throw you into the wrong car parking.
Select the location of the car park wisely. International airports are very large and may take fifteen to twenty minutes to move from one terminal to another and sometimes it becomes difficult to find out the right terminal in time. So consider the time of departure and how convenient it is to reach the parking area before booking just any car park. Make sure of the terminal from which your flight is going to depart before booking the car park.
Also check with the transfer times and frequencies of the airport in question. The transfer times of different car parks may vary. If you are going to catch an early morning or mid night flight, you can book place in an on airport car parking close to terminal and thus takes little transfer time.
Before making any commitment, make sure of the style of the operation of the car parking in question. This will give you an idea about what type of service you are going to receive. As for example, on airport car parks will not offer you much customer services; you will have to locate your own space, then find your way to the bus stop and carry the entire luggage onto the bus.
Finally, thoroughly assess the question of the security. Though, the airports are generally believed to be secure, if you need added assurance you can consider an off airport car parking which are claimed to be safer that their on-airport counterparts.
