Anyone used car parks there? Any advice? Any tips on money saving? Going on Mon 18th Oct to 29th Oct (Zante)

Thanks

They are all okay, including Airparks (just outside the airport boundaries). I like Prestige - they were cheaper than the others for me last time I flew from East Mids, and they are onsite, right behind the terminal building, so you can walk from your car in less than 5 minutes. If you choose the long term car parks 6 or 7, you will need to rely on the shuttle buses, its too far to walk from them. Car parks 1, 2, 3 and 4 are all next to the terminal building, so again, you can walk easily from your car to the airport in minutes.

Last time my parents used one on site they were parked as far away from the terminal as possible - next to Donnington racetrack.

They almost missed check in as it took them so long to get back to the terminal due to having to wait ages for a bus which never turned up then eventually having to walk all the way back. They weren't impressed.

Sounds like that was either 6 or 7 - they are both long-term car parks.

Thomas cook use holiday extras and they sell all the car parks at ema if they are available, im not sure of the 11 night price but in the last few weeks 8 days prices were

Airparks off airport £39.99
car park 7 £39.99
car park 3 £49.99
car park 2 £49.99

my brother used airparks last week said it was very good no problems. So it all depends really if you want to walk from your car to the departures or get a shuttle bus.

Used Prestige a couple of times, they're a very good outfit, and location is spot on too.

There's also 10% discount via Quidco for Prestige Parking

crikey the £31.44 sure is cheap! Just looking now. I don't like having to leave my keys though, but I guess there's no other way. Sounds good to me. Thanks for all other suggestions too.

Booked this one, thanks ever so much, I couldn't find it any other way either, so if you hadn't given the link, there's no way I'd have got it for that price. You're a star :beer:
