Hopefully, you’ve already booked, or are at least getting ready to book, your summer travels. If so, you’ve noticed that airfares, hotels and rental car prices are all higher than ever.
After getting over the sticker shock, there’s one more thing you might want to do right now. If you’re driving to the airport, you really should book your parking spot right away.
If you use one of the off-site airport lots, which could save you some money, you can make a reservation on their websites. Our favorite lot, Fast Park & Relax, has the following warning:
I’ve already forgotten to book parking for a busy travel time and had to scramble to find a lot with an opening.
We visited both Orlando and Atlanta airports this past weekend and both of their on-site parking lots were full. Local news stations have been reporting that the lots at Orlando Airport have been full since May. Here’s the current situation at Atlanta Airport where there’s only space in the hourly lots on Saturday evening. When we were there on a Thursday afternoon, even those lots were full.
Other lots at both airports still had spaces available, but those are farther away from the airport, charge more, have less frequent shuttles or a combination of all three.
Another option is to take advantage of an airport hotel with stay & parking rates.
Whichever you choose, it makes sense to lock it in now before things fill up.
