Park and ride parking is the oldest and cheapest form of Airport Parking there is, and this article gives the low down on exactly what can be expected if you book this kind of service.
As park and ride airport parking is cheaper than meet and greet the whole process is slightly longer. In past years park and ride was nowhere near as good or efficient as it is today and is now holding its own against the likes of meet and greet airport parking.
With park and ride airport parking the customer drives to the car park and hops on a transfer coach that would then take them to Manchester Airport for instance. Upon the customers arrival back into the country they would hop back on the transfer coach and be taken back to the car park where they then collect their vehicle.
There are still airport car parks out there who do not run dedicated transfer coaches which im sure you can appreciate slow the whole process down. In the main most park and ride providers generally follow the same procedure.
The customer drives direct to the car park where he parks in the arrival bay and gos to the reception. They will probably be asked to fill out a small form with such details as mileage registration etc and asked to hand over their keys. The customer’s luggage will then be placed onto the transfer minibus and the customer will be taken to the airport terminal.
Once the customer has left the car park their vehicle will be removed from the arrival bay and parked securely in the main car park where it can be accessed upon the customers return.
When the customer arrives back into the country they will call the number provided upon their departure and the airport parking provider will despatch the minibus to collect them and bring them back. Most companies now will run to and from the airport with one customer on the minibus but some airport parking providers will still insist the minibus is full before leaving. As a result please check the more info pages on our site for details of this.
When the customer arrives back at the car park their car will be waiting again in the arrival bay. Your keys need to be collected from reception and the car will be released.
