If you are planning to fly out of one of the region’s airports for holidays or business, it is important to be aware of your airport parking options. Many travellers prefer to drive to the airport because it is convenient, especially when travelling in groups. Whenever you drive to the airport, you need to know where you will leave your car for the duration of your trip.Car Parking Facilities

Parking Options

Airport parking options are varied in terms of factors such as locations and cost. You can choose between short and long term parking, depending on how long you will be away as well as affordability. Short term parking is typically closest to the airport while the long term option is further away and buses are used to transfer travellers to the terminal.

The duration of your trip does not restrict your airport parking options. Travellers can still book long term parking for shorter trips or opt for short stay parking, depending on what is convenient and suitable for them. Short term parking is popular among business travellers while long term car parks are ideal for holidays and longer trips.

Self-Parking

Airport parking facilities enable people to drive in and park their cars or have their cars parked for them. With self parking, passengers park their own cars and keep their car keys. You can rest assured that your vehicle will be taken care of during your trip at a secure parking facility that is under 24 hour surveillance.

Near terminal parking is in close proximity to the airport terminal. This offers convenience for travellers who need a faster pick up or have a lot of luggage. There is a provision for secure shuttle buses for any distance that cannot be covered by walking.

Booking

• Booking your parking spot is an important aspect of planning your trip because you will be at ease with the fact that your car is securely parked for as long as you are away. During peak or holiday seasons, airport parking is typically in high demand and pre-booking is vital for your peace of mind.

• The process usually begins with travellers getting a quote, making the booking and confirming payment. After your booking is confirmed, you can look forward to driving to the airport and leaving your car at a highly secure parking facility.

• Some of the information that you will be required to provide when booking your parking includes name, type of vehicle, flight schedule, departure time and payment method. Special rates are available for corporate and regular travellers who use the parking facilities.

Security and Convenience

Airport parking services are aimed at making journeys easier and passengers will benefit from discounted rates if they book their slots in advance. Competitive pricing provides travellers with special offers to ensure that parking their cars is as affordable as possible.

The car parks are professionally run and security is a top priority. When preparing for your trip, it is advisable to consider transfer times and their availability according to your flight schedule. Airport parking facilities are a convenient and cost effective solution for both corporate and leisure travellers.
