Poster: A snowHead
|
We're flying from Gatwick early on Boxing Day so driving is the only logical logistical option but the car park charges are about double what (I think) I remember paying last year.
Do they charge a premium for bank holiday parking?
Are there any discount codes or other saving schemes available?
I know I'll have to pay, but if I can save a few pounds it'll mean I can have another half of lager in Courchevel.

Sometimes it works out cheaper to stay at a local hotel or B&B the night before and pay them to park there (and even shuttle you to and from the airport).

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Purple parking just quoted me £50 for a week starting boxing day. A week starting 30th Jan comes in at aroung 10% less. So yes they may charge a little extra, but that could just be down to demand.
I don't notice any big difference from last year.

We used Gatwick Airport parking on Lowfield Heath Rd last January.
Arrived back to a comple chaos of a company trying to find cars, people waiting for 2-3 hours (there had been heavy snow all week)
Once lady nearly drove off with about 5 sets of keys that had been left on her passenger seat.
I'll never use this type of service (drop your car with them to park) again.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

NickyJ, that option was quickly discounted as we want to spend Christmas at home.
RobW, thanks for the tip, I've booked with them.

Going on Boxing Day from Gatwick, paid Airparks £52.99 so about the going rate.
