ABIA Offsite Parking Lots?

[JackieMartling]

Anyone used these on 71 leading to the airport???

I've parked at the one on the right as you approach the airport (blue top called Parking Express), and the one on the other side of 71 (Airport Fastpark).

Both are better than parking in the long term lots at the airport where you have to wait for the shuttle. It takes the same amount of time.

Airport Fastpark is the best off-airport lot. Print the coupon from their siteThe Link When you arrive they give you a newspaper, and when you leave they give you bottled water. Little things, yes, but whatever. Plus, it's easier to leave Airport Fastpark because it's on the side of 71 where you don't have to cross over. Again, potentially a minor detail. Like I said, I've parked at all 3 mutiple times, and Airport FastPark is the way to go.

thanks.

Parking Express sucks. Trust me on this.

Airport FastPark rules.

I agree with sizzle and unpainted. I have tried both and Airport FastPark is better than Park Express. I went to Park Express one time and got them to wash my car but they did an awful job. Also their tarp doesn't protect your car as well as Airport FastPark. I also like the perks as mentioned before and they have a coupon which I always use.

Most importantly it is very quick. They don't circle a huge lot several times to pick people up. They have the van ready right after you park that takes you directly to the terminal. I never have had to wait for their van when returning either.

What everybody said about Fastpark. Never had to wait.

 

[Wrangler]

Ditto Fast Park. Never a wait at any time of day or night.

I haven't used the other place because of the poor service and long waits I heard about.

What's the cost / day for fastpark...don't you have to add sales tax since it's not city-owned?

 

[JackieMartling]

The coupon off the net says $6 / day. With tax, would be $6.50ish I guess.

 

[unpaintedhuffhines]

yes, you pay sales tax at both off-site lots

 

[SuperHero]

So it's the same price or slightly more than the long term lots, but further away?

 

[unpaintedhuffhines]

further away, but doesn't take any longer to get to the terminal. In fact, I've found it to be quicker.

I used to use the long term lots all of the time. Many of the times I would park my car, then walk to the covered area and wait about 5 minutes for the bus to come by.

At Fastpark, as soon as you enter the gates, a bus follows you to your car. You get on and go straight to the terminal. No waiting for the damn bus. All of the parking is covered as well.

other things that help (as I mentioned they are small, but I like them)....they give you a newspaper when you park there, and give you bottled water when you leave.

Agree w/ the above. Fast Park is the way to go. No wait at all, plus the paper and water were great.
