5 Reasons why you should use Airport parking on a business trip

Airport Parking

Any travelling businessperson will know that although it sounds very glamorous, it can become somewhat tricky at times. Many people have business to attend in different towns, cities and sometimes even countries. The one thing that always becomes an issue after a while is getting to the airport. Most people rely on friends, relatives or even colleagues to get them to the airport on time. After you’ve asked someone to drop you off for the 10th time, some people might become annoyed or resentful.

What do you do when you’ve run out of parking options? Airports have underground and undercover parking areas where you can leave your car safely as you venture off to do your business. It’s not something everyone thinks about because how many people do you know travel for business every week? For those that know about it love it. No more being late or missing your flight waiting for a lift.

 

Why you should use airport parking

There are a few reasons why you should use airport parking.

 

1. Secure Parking

Most airport parking areas are fully gated and have 24/7 security guards watching over your vehicle and the premises. Not to mention the security cameras and lighting everywhere, so you don’t feel like your car is an open target for anyone, especially during the evenings.

 

2. On-Demand Shuttles

Shuttles are continually picking people up and dropping them off from the parking. They help with the luggage and drop you off where you need to be. Most airport parking will have a few shuttles making rounds every few minutes, so you know you won’t be left stranded somewhere waiting to get to your terminal. Some shuttles are kid friendly for anyone travelling with children, so if your family might be going with you, then it is one fewer thing to worry about.

 

3. Car Care

There are airport parking areas that offer car washes as well. All you need do is book a wash and polish if you want one before returning from your business trip.

 

4. Points

Some places offer you rewards for making use of their services, granting you discounts in the future for either a car wash and polish or even a discount on your daily rates.

 

5. Undercover

The option to park your car undercover will most probably feel a lot safer than having it parked somewhere where the elements might damage it (like a freak hailstorm).

 

The price of leaving your vehicle in a secured parking area far outweighs the stress of a family member picking you late for the airport. All you have to do is drive yourself to the airport, park your car and let them handle the rest. Some even have valet services, where you drive up, get out, grab your luggage, and they park your car for you as you head towards your terminal. All the while knowing your vehicle is in good safe hands, and that you can go off somewhere only worrying about the business meeting that you need to attend.
