I'd agree-whilst holidayextras CAN have some fab offers they usually sell-out fast! Try searching on the web with the names of small towns nearby-a search in google such as 'bed & breakfast + parking in...'.

That's the best way!

Sometimes-especially if you book in advance-it can be cheaper to go by train (if flight times tie up)-taht way you can have the odd drink on the flight (!)

Hi I need to book car parking at Stansted for 3 days - anyone have any tips to save money??? Please

https://www.fhr-net.co.uk are quite cheap - they are quoting £83 for hotel and upto 15 days parking but i suppose it depends on when you want to stay

We'll be going on holiday for two weeks at the end of August - think total time is 16 days - flying from Heathrow. Our flight is late afternoon outbound, returning early morning. Does anyone know of anywhere that we will be able to park for so long?

Thanks in advance.

friends of ours last year realised that over the summer they would be travelling from prestwick airport 3 times  and would go more if the cost of the parking didnt come into it

the overnight stay in the travel lodge  down the road  plus the parking was way way above the cost of the cheap air fare via ryan air that attracted us to prestwick in the first place.

so  they were moaning about this one sunday lunch when a few of us got together and I came up with this idea

we polled other friends and relations about them flying that summer from prestwick and if theyd go more often taking advantage of the cheap air fares , only for the cost of the parking etc

they all said a resounding YES  

so   I then contacted letting agents in the area

we rented a furnished flat - 1 bedroom - for £300  a month on a 6 month let, 15 mins drive from the airport, £6 in a taxi

there were 10  couples/families   joined in the scheme and it cost us  it cost us £37 a month including council tax

for that we got  not only free airport parking and overnight stays for early flights  but went to paris, oslo, frankfurt, brussels, paris again
and venice via stanstead  in our 6 months for  pennies.

we also had a 2 week break in the flat  and did the local scenery and shopping in in ediburgh glasgow etc

if you can get a reliable bunch of mates together   it works

Did the landlord know, if so did he/she not mind? What about insurance etc? for the property how was that arranged and named? or was it just all done under one name and used by others under trust? seems like u need very good mates for such a scheme.

we rented it in our name

the landlord knew didnt care as long as he got his rent and it was handed back ok which it was

the landlord is responsible for insurance of the fixtures and fittings insurance also fire

we didnt bother with contents insurance never occured to us

there were family and close friends involved

all did standing orders into my account and I then paid the rent

no problem

were going to rent somewhre in cornwall next year for a year to use as a holiday home for us all
