According to a recent report in the Express newspaper, you could indeed. The unlikely sounding competition took place back in July, and focused on seven sites owned by the airport parking company Airparks.
Newcastle Airport Parking
Book in advance and save money on Newcastle Airport Parking. Are you jetting off anywhere nice in the near future? Luscious beaches, the exciting atmosphere of another country, the sights and the sounds and the aromas…
Yes there is nothing quite like going abroad for your holidays, but even if your reason for going abroad is for a business trip, you’ll have to visit the airport to get going.
And that brings up the thorny issue of how you are going to get there. Do you opt for a cab that may or may not turn up in time? Or do you climb in your own car and do it yourself?
There is no doubt that the latter of the two options is highly preferable to waiting for someone else to pick you up. But where on earth do you leave your car when you arrive?
Welcome to the world of airport parking!
Of course, many other people are in exactly the same situation as you are. They want to be in comfortable and familiar surroundings as they head for their flight. And that means finding a car parking space close to the airport where they can leave their car safe and free from harm while they are abroad.
But if you think the best idea is to book your space by turning up on the day, think again. Pre-booking is the only way to do it. But why is this?
The simple answer is the price. All car parks at the airports – Newcastle included – charge a gate price when you turn up without a prior booking. But if you take a few minutes to book in advance, you can save a huge amount on that all important final price. You can sometimes save more than half as much as you would have paid otherwise!
