There are many things that need to be prepared before your trip. Do you need a visa? How about travel and medical insurance? One of the last things to be thought of, and one where a lot of money can be saved, is airport parking.
Many people believe that all you need to do is drive up to the airport on the day, get to the car park, check in and away you go. While this is true in many cases, you are paying a premium by not booking in advance. And what do you do if the car park is full? You obviously need to find somewhere else, but if you are running late and you really need to get to the airport, this can be a very stressful experience, especially if you end up missing your flight.
By booking your airport car parking early, you not only ensure that you are guaranteed a space at your preferred airport car park, but you can make great savings too. At some UK airports, it is possible to save over 50% off the gate price just by booking over 24 hours in advance - a great level of saving, and provides great peace of mind.
It also makes sense to research your car parking options before you leave, and not book the first one you see on your way to the airport. How safe is it? Is it secure? How easy is it to get from the car park to the airport, and is there transportation back from the airport? The latter is especially important if you are returning in the early hours of the morning.
By planning well in advance, and booking early, you can get great savings and also take a lot of the stress out of your holiday journey.
