Why Park?

With so many ways to get to the airport, why would travelers need to drive themselves; why would they need to park?  Let’s look first at some of the alternate options available.  Public transportation, hired cars and carpooling all present alternate ways to get to and from the airport, but driving oneself has unique and positive effects.

Public transportation, such as trains, subways and buses all exist to transport the public about, more efficiently and for less money than other modes of transportation, such as hired cars.  However, the two main issues with traveling via public transportation are inconvenience and timing.  If you’re carrying lots of heavy luggage with you, trains and buses can be difficult; you have to carry everything, probably for a considerable distance, and find a way to fit it beside you or over your head.  Trains don’t have a “check your luggage” feature.  Furthermore, relying on public transportation, particularly buses, can be risky when you’ve a flight to catch.  There are many possibilities for delays that could cost you your next connecting ride to the airport.

Hired cars are often expensive.  While you won’t have to worry much about where to stow your luggage while you ride, or making it to the airport or not, the fact is that the cost of traveling by taxicab or limousine is often too expensive.

Carpooling, or getting a ride from a friend or family member is a good way to save money, but can encounter obvious hassles, such as different flight times, different terminals, traffic delays and personal delays.

Overall, driving yourself will allow you to bypass many unecessary delays and costs, while affording you the convenience of knowing you’ll have space for your luggage.  While you’re parking at the airport, why not enjoy a complimentary shuttle and a hotel room?  Booking your parking on ParkSleepFly will grant you all of those options.
