Parking at Birmingham Airport: Get it Right
Parking at Birmingham Airport
Hi there, I want to share with you a few tips that
I've come across as I live near Birmingham Airport
and I do enjoy my holidays! The thing that was
always expensive was finding somewhere secure to
leave my car while I went.
So after doing a little research I found out where to go and what to do with regards to this and just wanted to share my knowledge with anyone that is interested.
Do you want to go on holiday whilst leaving your car
at home? It can be quite risky because if it’s left
on a public street and doesn’t move all sorts of
things can happen. The easiest option is to leave
your car at the airport. But if you do and you’re
going away on a long holiday it can be super
expensive! Some airports I’ve been to charge upwards
of £25 for an overnight parking spot.
The
best way to get around this is to shop around, you
wouldn’t think that shopping around for parking
would make any difference, but believe me it does.
There are about 12 different car parking facilities
at Birmingham Airport and depending on where you
purchase your ticket it can vary a lot in price.
You should always remember to do this before you go
to the airport because if you don’t, prices are at
their highest. It’s like most things at an airport,
the earlier you book, the cheaper it is! I’m not
sure why that works with car parking spaces but it
just does. So I don’t question it, I just go along
with it.
Book online at the official Birmingham Airport car
parking website which can easily be found through
Google and you’ll get to choose the dates of when
you’ll be dropping off and collecting your car
again. It goes as cheap as £2.99 a day. So a decent
2 week family holiday will cost less than £50 for
the safety and security of knowing your vehicle is
in good hands.
So what security does the airport offer? Well for
starters there is zero public access as it’s within
the confines of the airport. Probably more safe than
parking it in a garage at home. There is also 24/7
surveillance cameras covering the entire area. You
can go on holiday with pure peace of mind!
When you think about it too, how much would it cost
you to get a taxi to the airport and again when you
get home? I’m guessing it’s going to be near to that
amount anyway. So while you’re not saving money in
that respect, you will be making life easier for
yourself in another. We all know when you get back
from a long flight; all you want to do at that point
is to just get home and not because you haven’t
enjoyed your holiday, but no one really likes
hanging around at the airport. So you can just get
your cases, head off to the car park and drive
yourself home.
I hope that some of my pointers here have been of
use to you. So as a conclusion I highly recommend
you make use of parking at Birmingham airport if
feasible for you. I live about 20 miles away and it
saves me so much time and money on taxis. There is
less stress when coming back from my holidays now as
well. Thanks for checking this page out.
