After the removal of duty free when vacating to EU countries that amounted for a high percentage of travellers passing through an airport, all airports looked to other areas to improve revenue and airport parking was natural target.

When choosing where to park, especially in todays economic market it helps to compare the prices between on and off airport parking. The savings can be considerable particularly when comparing to the airport drive on price. The drawback to using an off airport car park is the transfer to the terminal will take longer. When booking your hotel parking Gatwick, Heathrow hotel parking or airport parking Manchester you can select from numerous off airport car parks as well as on airport parking.

Off airport car parks have seen many changes since they first started appearing and are now professionally operated organisations adopting best practices in security including granted under the Safer Park Mark Scheme which is an initiative of the Associations of Chief Police Officers aimed at reducing crime and the fear of crime in car parks. Not only is security high priority but also these car parks operate regular transfers to and from the airport.

When a holidaymaker is short of time, parking on site could be the best option but if time is not of the essence the best value parking will always be at an off airport car park.

When using on airport car park typically at one of the bigger airports on a dark morning, the experience can be quite off-putting with the roadways full of cars travelling at a break neck pace to get into lanes and look at signs at the same time. By parking away from the airport you are transferred directly to your airport by an experienced driver.
