I frequently use Manchester airport when I am traveling on business trips abroad and I utilize Manchester Airport car parking rather often. This has forced me to be somewhat of an expert on airport car parking and how to get cheap parking at Manchester airport.
Manchester is a extremely well used airport and therefore it pays to have booked your parking before leaving for the airport. Practically all of the airport car parks have an online presence where you can arrange car parking before traveling, this makes the process easier as you do not have to search for a empty space when you arrive for your flight out.
There are many car parking facilities near to Manchester airport. Hotel parking is also available near the airport and is excellent if a bit expensive. Nearly all of the local car parking companies provide very similar services and provide high security levels for vehicles and passengers. All of the airport parking businesses provide a free shuttle service from the car park to the airport, and all give an extremely good service. The only way to choose between them is to decide on your budget.
Your alternative choices will be either Global Chauffeur or Meet and Greet Parking, these companies offer the best service of any of the Manchester airport parking services. They are quite expensive but they will save you a lot of time and worry. All you should do is arrange a hand over point and time over the phone then hand over your vehicle when you get there. Your car will be taken care of and parked in a high security car park.
If you're a traveler in a hurry you could do worse than consider Carminder, APH or Premier Parking who are all within a few minutes of Manchester International and are among the better Manchester car parking providers. APH are among those who offer inside parking for those winter months.
For those traveling from north of Manchester you should take a look at what Airparks have to offer. A possible problem with this business can be that they take more time for processing and you should try to allow up to an hour to get parked and transferred.
You will find most companies request you to hand over your car keys in case they need to move your car when you have left. This usually happens automatically but should they forget to ask for them, I always prefer to leave a spare key with them .
You can often save money by going online to check out the available deals and pay ahead of time. You will usually find that sorting it out a couple of months before you travel will get you the biggest discount.
