Can you share one or two tips for customers booking airport parking?
Book in advance to save money and guarantee a parking space – the further in advance you book, the more affordable the prices tend to be and more availability on offer. Parking costs often increase the closer to the departure date and the car park may even be full if travelling during peak holiday times. Booking more than two weeks in advance can reduce the cost by more than half compared to booking the day before or even on the departure day, so book as early as possible.
