Budget Car Parking for Manchester Airport have announced they’re moving their parking site beginning on the 1st of March 2009. The new site will continue to serve all 3 terminals and is located at Finney Lane/Styal Road, which is closer to the airport and will cut about 10 minutes off the time it takes for transfers.

Here’s a few of the security benefits of this car park:

• 7-foot perimeter fencing
• CCTV coverage
• barriers at the entry and exit
• a coded exit system
• 24-hour staff

In addition to Budget Car Parking, we also offer a wide choice of alternative car parks at Manchester Airport, and don’t forget, if you’re looking for convenience be sure to check out the Meet and Greet services on offer.  The gosimply Award-winning Meteor Meet and Greet Parking and Airparks Gold are just two examples, and every Manchester Airport meet and greet service will meet you at the terminal on your departure and return.

LCS Meet and Greet parking offers a convenient new option for parking at Leeds Bradford Airport and for only about £10.00 more than a standard “park and ride” service.

You can drive straight to the terminal, where an official car park driver will collect your vehicle and safely park it while you proceed directly to check-in.  When you come back, your car is returned back to you at the terminal building so you can be on your way.

If, however, you prefer to park yourself and hold on to your keys, you can always choose Leeds Bradford’s on-airport Long Stay Parking, which has great security features and is rated highly in Value for Money.

For those who don’t mind leaving their keys with the car park, try Sentinel Security Car Park.  They’re a repeat winner of our gosimply.com Award for Customer Satisfaction, and are a very popular choice with our customers.

As of the 2nd of March 2009, BAA has announced that the Summer Special car park at Gatwick Airport will no longer serve the South Terminal.  Customers who have already booked parking, or are returning on or after that date, will be contacted.

Although Summer Special will no longer be shuttling customers to and from the South Terminal, there are several great options still on offer that provide this service.

APH Parking (a gosimply Award-winner for December 2009!), Cophall Farm Parking, and Gatwick’s Official Long Stay car park are some of our most popular facilities who continue to provide complimentary transfers to either both terminals, or the South exclusively.

Blackpool Airport now allows 15 days’ free car parking for departing passengers in a new drive to attract more passengers from across the Northwest.

On the same date, Blackpool Airport will introduce a £10 Airport Development Fee for all departing passengers aged 16 years and older.  A ticket machine will be provided in the main airport terminal where passengers can pay the fee, and the ticket will be required to pass through airport security into the departure lounge.

Passengers claiming the free parking at Blackpool Airport will need to validate their car parking ticket in the Arrivals area upon their return.

“Funds from the Airport Development Fee will support continued investment from the owners to improve facilities and help attract new airlines, which in turn will increase route choice for our passengers,” said David Kershaw, Chief Executive of Blackpool International.

Q-Park, who provide long stay parking at Belfast Airport, have announced a seasonal special offer for all future airport parking bookings. The cost of 8 days’ parking has been slashed from £33.00 down to £24.00, and 15 days’ parking has been reduced from £66.00 to just £45.00.

As always, gosimply.com passes these savings directly to our customers, and there are never any hidden costs.

This offer is likely to be withdrawn in the New Year, so take advantage of these fixed low rates!

Q-Park Heathrow, one of our highest-rated car parks at Heathrow Airport and winner of the gosimply award for October 2008, has undergone a name change and is now known as Heathrow Quality Airport Parking.

There is one slight difference in the service they now provide, but it’s an improvement.  Transfers to the airport used to operate every 20 minutes, but will now operate “on demand”.  This means customers won’t have to wait for their transfer, as they may have had to before.

Park Mark Award

The latest car park to receive the Park Mark Award for secure airport parking is Central Car Parking at Luton Airport (the award also applies to their Luton Airport Meet and Greet service).

Choosing a service that displays the Park Mark award assures you that the car park you’ve chosen has taken steps to ensure the safety of your vehicle while you’re away.

Central Car Parking is also the recipient of our gosimply.com award for the month of October ’08, which recognises those car parks that provide excellent service and value-for-money.

The Park Mark award for security and the gosimply.com award for service and value – two great reasons to choose Central Car Parking when you’re looking for parking at Luton Airport.

The Parking Express and Park Plus car parks, both of which service Gatwick Airport’s South Terminal, have recently undergone a rebranding.

• Gatwick Parking Express is now called Long Stay Parking South
• Gatwick Park Plus is now known as Long Stay Plus Parking.
  

Both are less than a mile from the South Terminal, provide transfers every 10 minutes, and offer great security features such as automated entry and exit barriers and frequent security patrols.

So although the names have changed, you’ll still start your holiday comfortable in the knowledge your vehicle is in safe hands for the duration of your trip.

Manchester Airport has always had a good choice of on and off-airport car parks on offer but until recently there have only been two meet and greet services available. Thankfully Securapark have introduced a new chauffeur parking option that serves all three terminals.

Securapark meet and greet is operated by the same people that run Securapark at Manchester, who hold the Park Mark Award for safer parking. For those of you that are not sure what meet and greet is, here’s a quick reminder:

• Drive directly to your required terminal at Manchester Airport
• A chauffeur will meet you and unload your luggage, you can then check-in for your flight!
• The chauuffeur will then drive the car to the Securapark car park and store it until you return
• On your return, they will meet you outside the required terminal
