I often use Manchester airport for going on a business trip abroad and I use Manchester airport parking rather
frequently. This has forced me to be something of an expert on Manchester Airport car parking and where to source
cheaper airport parking.
There are numerous benefits associated with travelling to the airport by car instead of the usual route of getting
a train of taxi to the airport. The most important of which is the option to ride in the comfort of your own car.
If there are four or five people in your group, this can offer a considerable saving too.
Great savings can be had online.
Airport parking was once considered an expensive luxury for a privileged few but this is no longer the case, sure
it can be very expensive if you just turn up without having booked in advance but you can book online for some
great savings weeks in advance of your flight.
Manchester International is a very crowded airport and as such its best to have your parking space booked before
you leave for the airport. Most of the local parking facilities have a website where you can book your parking
before travelling, this makes the process easier as you do not have to look for a free space when you turn up for
your flight out.
There are numerous car park businesses near to Manchester airport. Hotel parking is also available near the airport
and is excellent if a little pricey. All of the Manchester car parking businesses provide very similar services and
offer good security for you and your vehicle. All the best airport car parks offer a shuttle link from the car park
to the airport, and all provide a very good service. One way to make a choice is to decide on your budget.
If you are not concerned with cost your choices will be either Global Chauffeur or Meet and Greet Parking, these
companies offer a great service. They are costly but they will save you a lot of time and worry. All you have to do
is arrange a change over point and time on the telephone then hand over your vehicle when you arrive. Your vehicle
will be taken into their care then parked for you.
For the person in a rush I can recommend Carminder, APH or Premier Parking who are all within a few minutes of the
airport and are among the better airport parking services. APH also offers inside parking for those cold and wet
months.
For those travelling from the North I recommend that you consider Airparks. A small problem with this business is
that usually they take more time for check in and transfer and I always allow anywhere up to 50 minutes for parking
at their location.
You will find most companies request you to deposit your keys with them to enable them to move your vehicle when
you are gone. This is pretty much standard practice but I like to give the car park attendant my spare key just in
case.
You can often save money by going online to check out the available deals and booking ahead of time. You will
usually find that doing it around eight weeks prior to departure will get you the biggest discount.
