Airport operators particularly, since the loss of duty free revenue from holidaymakers visiting European Union countries have looked to improve revenue from such areas as airport car parking.

When deciding which car park to leave your car at, especially in the current economic climate it pays to study the costs between on and off airport parking. The savings can be considerable especially when comparing to the airport drive on price. The downside to using an off airport car park is the transfer time to the terminal will take longer. When booking your Gatwick airport parking, Heathrow hotel parking or Manchester airport parking you can choose from numerous off airport car parks as well as on airport parking.

Off site car parks have come a long way since they first started out and are now top class professional outfits adopting best practices in safety including granted under the Safer Park Mark Scheme which is an initiative of the Associations of Chief Police Officers brought in to reduce crime in particular the fear of crime in parking facilities. Not only is security a top priority but also these car parks run constant transport to and from the airport.

When a traveller is short of time, parking on site may be the best option but if time is not an issue the best value parking will always be found at an off site car park.

When parking at an on airport car park typically at one of the larger airports on a dark morning, the experience can be quite daunting with the roadways milling with cars travelling at a fast pace to get into lanes and look at signs at the same time. By parking away from the airport you are taken directly to your airport by an experienced driver.
