Parking At Birmingham Airport – Traveller's Guide

All passengers who ever flown out of Birmingham Airport know how much trouble, not to mention costs, car parking can be, particularly when you are in a hurry. I travel from Birmingham a few times each month on business, so I've used nearly all the airport parking services there.

The first thing I did was arranging car parking by pre-booking it online, which saved me some precious time and even a couple of pounds. I have picked up several useful tips regarding the various companies over the past five years, and I sincerely hope my advice on parking can make travelling easier for others as well.

There are around 10 different firms which operate parking services out of Birmingham International Airport and it isn't very hard to reach all of them and provide professional security for your vehicle while you are travelling. If you think dog patrols and police patrols are very different, then you may want to check this out further, but otherwise, I'm very sure: wherever you park your car it will be safe during your absence.

The most important thing to be sure of is how much available time you have left prior to your check-in procedure and how much the airport parking service is going to cost you.

Definitely the easiest service, but also the most expensive, is to make use of the valet parking options of a firm such as CPS Meet and Greet. A company's representative will meet you when you arrive at the airport and drive your car to the parking facility for you. You can then make an appointment with them to return your car when you come back from your journey and you're off! Could it be easier?

The only parking facility which is situated 4.5 miles from Birmingham airport is the Airparks Birmingham park, which runs a free of charge and frequent shuttle service to both terminals. Transfers are available day and night, seven days per week. When you check-in a telephone number will be given to you which you need to call for a transfer back to the parking site at your return.

APH Birmingham's car park can easily be found due to its location just off the M42 motorway and M6 toll road. The company offers valet parking services and from the car park there is frequent transportation to and from both terminal buildings. The duration of the trip is about 10 to 15 minutes. When you return from your voyage you will be picked up from the terminal after you have collected your baggage. Your car will be waiting at the return spaces area.

During the last five years I have tried several alternative opportunities, but by now I can say without a doubt that these online Birmingham airport parking companies mentioned below operate the fastest ways of ensuring car parking.
