Catamong Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 Avoid Airparks at Caddington near luton, the security is non existent and they leave your keys in the cars overnight, I got back from my hols to find the ****** had paid a nocturnal visit and driven off in my car and 5 others, nobody saw a thing. Try telling that to your Insurance Co, they weren't too keen to help as the keys were left in the ignition. It took me a year to get it sorted, Airparks didn't want to know. Cat.

Cranfield Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 I always book my airport car parking with Parking4less. As we only fly out of Gatwick or Heathrow, its a simple calculation, is it cheaper to park, or get a taxi. For holidays 3 weeks duration or less its park, longer than that we get a taxi.

Well, you wouldn't say that if they gave your car away, but don't take my word for it, check with the Crime Prevention guys at Luton Police Station, I'm not the only one it's happened to. They shunt all of the cars around the night before, so those returning are parked near the kiosk, they're supposed to take the keys back to the office, but some staff can't be bothered, they're left parked with keys in the ignition, the local ****** know this and do a raid from time to time.

steve_b_wales Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 We book in the NCP car park in Cardiff Wales Airport, and because we normally book it a few months (sometimes up to 9 in advance) we pay around £43 for two weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V8landy Posted July 22, 2010 Report Share Posted July 22, 2010 Top tip! Book you car into a local garage for a minor repair, like wiper blades or a new blub, but say you will pick it up in a couple of weeks Or try booking as far in advance as possible, this site is quite good for finding parking, and like has been said hotels will often do you a good deal. We are doing a hotel night before and carparking included. Makes the holiday seam a bit longer as well. http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/travel/ch...airport-parking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vince Green Posted July 23, 2010 Report Share Posted July 23, 2010 Most times its easier just to book a cab to the airport and have them pick you up again afterwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
