How to Save Money on Philadelphia Airport Parking Fees
Parking at the Philadelphia International Airport can be an
adventure in itself.
Parking at the Philadelphia International Airport can be an
adventure in itself. Travelers need to be aware of parking fees
and how to get the best deals.
If you just go to the airport thinking you will find a cheap
place to park, think again. The parking lots are sitting there
just waiting for you to turn up unaware of prices and
policies.
The worst example we found was parking your car at any on-site
parking lot at Philadelphia International Airport. All of the
Philadelphia on-site lots are owned by the city of Phila. and
run by companies for them. The city sets the price it wants
people to pay when they either pre-book a space or just turn up
at one of the parking lots.
One way to save money is to park at one of the privately run
remote airport parking lots near PHL, and there are many of
them. These are often cheaper than the airports own long-term
parking lots, and online discounts can make parking at one of
these facilities even cheaper.
Drivers often avoid the private airport parking lots, thinking
it will take extra time to transfer to and from the airport.
But many of these private parking lots are also a shuttle ride
away from the terminal. And at busier airports, such as
Philadelphia and New York's JFK, the long-term parking lot is
often full, which means you could spend half an hour looking
for a space before searching for a remote parking lot
anyway.
Another good alternative is to find a hotel in the area of the
airport which has a secured parking facility and free shuttle
service 24 hours a day.
One of the best Hotels in the Philadelphia area offering this
service is the Philadelphia Airport Ramada's Park and Jet,
which is located just 2 miles from the airport and offers free
shuttle service to and from your car 24 hours a day, 7 day a
week.
When you return from your trip, you just pick-up one of the
direct phone lines in the airport and they will come pick you
up.
They also have a coupon on their website and they also offer
Park Sleep Fly package deals where you stay overnight and fly
out in the morning. So, the moral of the story is to do your
research in advance of your trip, compare prices and get the
best deal online.
