Airport parking or taxi: a practical checklist

Do not choose on price alone: check how you reach the terminal from the car park and how you get home after landing. A taxi takes you door to terminal; with parking, walking distance, shuttles, opening hours and key handover determine the convenience. Use this checklist to inspect the parking product, terminal transfer and return journey before committing.
Check the parking product
- Check the exact address and whether you walk or take a shuttle to the terminal.
- Check if you keep your key or hand it over to the provider.
- Read the opening hours for your actual departure and landing time.
- Check conditions for flight delays and changed travel dates.
- Confirm which company operates the car park.
Plan the complete terminal transfer
- Allow time to enter, park, unload and walk or wait for a shuttle.
- Check how often the shuttle runs at the time you travel.
- Check whether the transfer works with your luggage, children or mobility aid.
- Find the return shuttle meeting point before leaving home.
- With a taxi, use your landing time and flight number for the return.
The journey home after landing
With parking you first return to the car park and then drive home yourself. With a taxi no one needs to drive after a night flight. Parking leaves your own car available; a taxi leaves it at home. Choose according to what you can comfortably do after your flight, not just the outbound journey.

You book online in a few steps. Enter your pickup address with house number and postcode, add your destination and choose the date and time.
