Airport parking - no. of days calculation

kuepper

Trying to find cheapest parking for leaving my car about 1300 on a monday and probably picking it up about 0030 on the following saturday (ETA of my flight is 2345). The airport parking search engines class this as 6 days parking though in reality it's only about 4 and a half. I expected to pay for 5 days / 120 hours but 6 days seems unfair. Is there no way round this?

Just put in you will collect at 2345, there is usually slippage in their systems to account for slightly late flights etc.

Just bumping this again further to my previous comment, as I just booked some parking at Manchester Airport @ Holiday Extras using a voucher I had, and it says this in the confirmation...

The car park offers a grace period of 6 hours at their discretion. Any longer than this and you'll be charged the car park's standard rate of £25, which is subject to change. If you pick up your car early we can't give you a refund.

I assumed there might be something like that in the small print but if I put my flight ETA of 2345 for collection and turned up an hour or more later I wondered how their discretion would be exercised if they checked my ETA
