There are lots of things to consider when making this decision and price comparison is obviously one of them. There are obviously more advantages to having a door to door taxi service but sometimes this is quite costly especially if you live a long way away from the airport and in this scenario it makes more sense to park the car.

On Airport Parking

Although on airport car parks are nearer to the terminal, you would need to find your own parking space. You then make your way to the bus stop for the free transfer to the airport terminal.

Off Airport Parking

At off airport parking you check into reception and the staff will be able to answer any questions you may have. If security is an important issue to you, off airport parking is generally more secure as only members of staff have access to the vehicles.

Why Pre-book?

Most airports have two parking rates. Pre-booked, where you book and pay before departure. Or the turn-up rate, where you turn up and pay on the day. The pre-booking rate can be as much as 60% cheaper than the turn up rate. Also, by pre-booking you can compare prices before deciding on a car park.

Conclusion

It all comes down to the price you are willing to pay for comfort. On short distances to the airport or long breaks it is a very good option to use a taxi or for longer distances or short breaks it is more viable to use an airport car park.
