I regularly use Manchester airport car parking when travelling on business trips to Europe so I have to use Manchester Airport car parking quite often. This has taught me to be somewhat of an expert on Manchester airport parking charges and how to find cheaper airport parking. Manchester airport parking charges vary widely so a little research can save a lot of cash.
Manchester international is a very crowded place and therefore it is better to have booked your parking before you leave for the airport. Practically all of the airport car parks have an online presence where you can book your space before you even get in your car, this reduces stress on the day as you do not have to drive around looking for a space when you turn up for your flight.
There are a lot of car park businesses near to Manchester airport. Hotel parking is also nearby and is very good if on the expensive side. It’s usually easy to find Manchester airport hotels with parking. Many of the Manchester car parking businesses have very similar services and offer good security for you and your vehicle. All the best airport car parks provide a shuttle link from the car park to the airport, and all give a very professional service. The only way to make a choice is to choose the nearest one to the airport.
If you’re not bothered about the expense you should consider Global Chauffeur or Meet and Greet Parking, these companies provide the best service of any of the Manchester airport parking services. They may be a bit on the pricey side but they may reduce the stress factor. All you should do is pre-arrange a hand over point and time over the phone then give them your car keys when you get there. Your car will be looked after and parked in a high security car park.
For the person in a hurry I recommend Carminder, APH or Premier Parking all of whom are based within ten minutes of Manchester airport and are all very reputable Manchester airport parking services. APH also offers covered parking facilities for those cold and wet months.
For those travelling from the north . One problem with this option is that usually they take a little longer for processing and you should try to allow about an hour to get parked and transferred.
Every company will require you to leave your keys so that they can move your car when you have left. This is often standard procedure but should they forget to ask for them, I always prefer to leave a spare key with them .
You can save yourself a lot of time and money by using the internet to find the best price and pay ahead of time. You will usually find that doing it around eight weeks prior to departure will save you the most money.
