It is all too easy to be caught out by dodgy deals on the internet, so make sure you do your research. Just type ‘airport parking’ into any search engine and take a look at the quantity of companies trying to sell you airport parking.

There are many parking sites vying for your business and often it can be difficult to know who to go with. Many of these internet parking sites simply re-sell parking packages so it is important to check who you will be actually parking with.

Airport parking takes on many different forms. We have a great range of parking for you There are several different types of airport parking and here at Holiday Extras we have the biggest choice of secured airport parking, serving 1.2 million customers a year - that's more than anyone else in the UK.

Whether you need to park your car for two weeks or just a couple of days we have something for you. So how does it all work and which will be the most suitable for you? Let's take a look at this:

Tip 5: Think about adding the Cancellation Charges Waiver.
Not only do you bag yourself great prices but for 99p extra you can cancel your booking and get your money back (within our cancellation procedure). If you would like to take advantage of this and protect your booking then select the option during the booking process. It can be found under the heading 'Cancellation Protection'.

Tip 6: Book early.
What's the difference? Up to 60%. Many car parks offer advance purchase prices and the earlier you book the more likely you are to find them. If you do find one, book straight away because these prices are withdrawn as you get closer to the departure date, and are subject to availability.

Tip 7: What's most important about the car park?
Our customers have told us that frequency of transfer and transfer times are what they consider to be the most important. Our car park information pages tell you all you need to know about when and how the transfers operate.

Tip 8: Check the cost of a hotel with parking package.
Compare the price of airport parking with the price of a hotel packaged with parking. At certain times of the year, especially August and September, parking packaged with a hotel can be up to £20 cheaper than parking on its own. If you have an early check-in, staying overnight takes all the stress out of getting to the airport on time. Compare the prices on the parking results page. You can click straight through from parking to hotels.

Tip 9: Feedback
Don't forget - when you get back from your holiday let us know how your parking went. Your feedback might even be published. We will send you an e-mail after you book; you only need to click one button to rate the car park.

Tip 10: Book at the right time.
Prices can change daily, sometimes more than once, so to guarantee you get the price you are quoted, reserve your parking space right away. Don't forget it is FREE of charge to cancel your booking online up to midnight on the day you book. On your booking confirmation e-mail you will have a link to follow if you wish to cancel.

And the golden rule...

Never turn up at the airport without first pre-booking your airport parking, you will pay way over the odds. Airport car parks charge a premium for turning up on the day which can be up to 60% more than our internet prices. Please remember that you are even able to pre-book your airport parking on the day you travel so where is the sense in paying the gate price. If you see a poor soul posting money into a machine at the airport car park, do them a favour and mention us...£9 a day or £6 a day - they can choose. Just think of it as your good turn for the day.
