What is a private car park near the airport?

In recent years, the number of private car parks near airports has increased tenfold. Numerous private car parks have been set up around airports and railway stations to meet strong demand. With airlines extending their services to a wide range of destinations, travellers are becoming increasingly numerous. New uses are developing and car parks are emerging around our stations and airports. Who are they?

We've all asked ourselves the question: Who's going to take us to the airport when we go on holiday? The flight is at 6 a.m., it's the middle of the week, there are already 4 of us plus luggage... it's impossible to ask the people around us! For some of us, it's already several hours' drive to the nearest airport.

Now is the time to look at parking options.

Find a cheap parking near Bordeaux Mérignac airport.

The most common is long-term airport parking. The supply is limited, and airports are quickly saturated, even outside school holiday periods. Last-minute bookings are almost impossible, as reservations must be made within 48 hours. What's more, the prices charged are skyrocketing.

With low-cost air tickets on offer, the cost of parking when travelling seems out of all proportion. Why pay more for parking than for a plane ticket?

Private car parks take this factor into account and offer attractive deals throughout the year.

The opening hours of the airport's long-term car park do not always coincide with late arrivals. It is therefore impossible to leave your vehicle there.

A closer look at the internet reveals that there are parking comparators near airports, offering solutions and services tailored to travellers.

Find the right car park at the right price.

We note that 70% of users reserve their car park at the last minute.

It's hard to trust this type of structure when you're not used to it. Going on holiday is a costly affair, and sometimes you have to wait all year to take advantage of it, so it's important to prepare your trip properly.

Online comparators are there to help you. You'll find all the information you need: journey times to the airport, fares and customer reviews.

Bookings and payments are mainly made online, so take the time to do everything before you travel.

What's more, you must leave your car keys in the car park, and the vehicle will be moved if necessary for the car park to function properly. This is sometimes difficult for some travellers.

Extra time is needed to be picked up and taken to the airport. Travel time to the airport should be included in the planning.

Many advantages for private car parks

Attractive rates

The price is the first advantage of parking! On average, a week's parking costs €35, including the shuttle. It's even more cost-effective when there are several people travelling together but only one vehicle is used to get to the airport. The rate includes parking and transfer for all passengers.

With low-cost airlines now on offer, it's no longer unusual to go away with friends or family for a weekend. Europe is accessible from as little as €30 from several airports, so there's no reason to miss out.

Flexible working hours

Time is no longer an issue! As the car park is open 24/7, there are no constraints when our plane takes off at 6 a.m. and/or lands at 12 a.m. You can be sure of being taken care of even if your flight is delayed, for example. It's never pleasant to be delayed, but at least you can be sure that the driver will be there to take you back to your vehicle, whatever the time.

On-demand and free shuttles

Unlike long-term parking, the shuttles run on demand. In other words, there are no fixed arrival times. The shuttles rotate according to the flow of traffic. Customers save time. No more waiting at the shuttle meeting point, and no more crowding to get there quickly. No need to cross a huge car park in full sunshine with luggage and children. The vehicle is dropped off at the entrance to the car park near the shuttle bus. The driver checks you in, loads your luggage and heads for the airport.

On your return, it's up to you to let the driver know when you're ready to be taken back to your vehicle.

Increased safety

The car park is secure and under video surveillance. The 24-hour presence of the driver prevents vandalism. It's also reassuring to be escorted back to your car when you arrive late at night. There's no need to worry about being late - the chauffeur will meet you at any time of the day or night.

Personalised assistance and a host of services

The driver will help you with your luggage and install the necessary car seat for children.

Additional services such as checking your car's fuel level, washing your vehicle or passing a roadworthiness test are also available. Why not take advantage of these services to save time in your daily routine?

An interior/exterior cleaning service is also available. A pleasure to find your car clean when you return from holiday.

Luggage such as surfboards, golf bags and pushchairs are no problem to transport on the shuttles. Campervans are welcome for a supplement of €10 per stay.

These friendly structures offer croissants and coffee on arrival.

Get started

Whether you're on your own, with family or friends, you're bound to find something to your advantage. Leave with peace of mind, without impacting on your holiday budget and with everyone's comfort in mind. You now have a choice when it comes to parking, so why not make the most of it now!
