Compare my parking deals is a comparison site for airport parking in the United Kingdom. It suits anyone who drives to the airport in their own car and wants to book the space in advance instead of paying the highest daily rate at the terminal.
What you can book
On the home page you choose the departure airport, the date and time for drop-off and your return. Options include Birmingham, Bristol, East Midlands, Gatwick, Heathrow, Leeds Bradford, Liverpool, Luton, Manchester, Stansted, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Southampton Port, Aberdeen, Exeter and Newcastle. Besides regular airport parking there is a separate section for meet and greet, where you hand the car to a person at the airport and collect it there when you return.
What parking really costs
The daily rate is only part of the bill. For every offer, look at these points:
- Type of car park: Meet and greet is more convenient but usually costs more than a car park with a bus to the terminal. How far the walk to the terminal is appears in the description.
- Period: The price follows drop-off and return. If you come back later than booked, you may have to pay more. Better to allow a day as a buffer.
- Extras: Vehicle cleaning, charging or similar extras, if offered, are not automatically included.
- Getting there: Add the drive to the car park and the transfer to the terminal to your schedule.
Which fees apply exactly shows in the booking flow before payment. Compare the total price, not the daily rate.
Cancellation and payment
Check the cancellation terms before you book: whether you can change or cancel for free depends on the car park and rate. That also applies to changes in flight times. If your flight moves, tell the provider early, ideally using the contact details on the site.
How to save
No vouchers are currently listed for this provider, so the cashback comes on top of the comparison price. The key rule for airport parking is to book early. Popular dates such as school holidays fill up quickly, and late bookings cost more. Also click through daily cashback shortly before you complete the booking, and keep your confirmation until the cashback is confirmed.
Tips
- Compare at least two car parks at the same airport by total price and distance.
- Photograph your car at drop-off, especially with meet and greet.
- Note the car park's phone number for your return.
- Allow a time window on return in case your flight lands late.
Meet and greet or car park with a bus
The choice depends on your trip. On a short trip with a small budget and enough time, a car park with a bus is often enough. When you arrive late at night, travel with children or carry a lot of luggage, meet and greet saves nerves because you hand over right at the terminal. Weigh the extra cost against the time you would otherwise spend at the car park and on the bus.
On the day of travel
Do not leave at the last minute. With park and ride, allow time for entering, parking and the transfer to the terminal, and with meet and greet time for the hand-over. If you arrive early enough, you are not under pressure when there is traffic outside the car park. Read the confirmation once more beforehand, as it holds the address, access directions and contact details. On return, it is worth a quick check of the car before you drive off, and any issue should be reported straight away.
If you keep this in mind, you know what your car really costs at the airport before you travel.
Booking with cashback
The cashback runs through daily cashback. First open the daily cashback store page for Compare my parking deals, continue from there to the provider and book as usual. The credit arrives once the trip is confirmed. You can see the current rate on our provider page at TripPrice.
