Airport Parking Made Easy

Written by Tania Young | Mar 17, 2015 11:00:00 AM

When it comes to getting ready for an 'overseas' holiday, whether it be another country or the South Island there's a lot of planning to do. Once all the planning is taken care of, anticipation set's in (let's face it that's often the best part) - the lure of fun, new experiences, places to see and people to meet.

Taking care of the little details allows you to make the most of your trip - flights & accommodation, local currency, travel insurance (a must) and making sure you have all the right visa's, as well as a current passport.

Getting to and from the airport is also a detail that needs sorting.  There are several options:

  • getting dropped off by a friend or family member (though no one seems that keen on those 5am drop offs or pick-ups)
  • catching a bus or shuttle
  • self- driving and parking in the long term carpark or parking close to the airport and catching a shuttle cover
  • Booksmart Car Storage (my personal favourite)

We were recommended to use these guys about 18 months ago and now we use them whenever we travel.  Even for a few days in Wellington, it's a great option.

I love it because it is so easy.

How does it work?

  1. Send a quote or booking request
  2. Confirm your booking and pay online
  3. Pull up to the public drop off area right outside the domestic or international terminal
  4. Take out your luggage, hand over your keys - and you are away!

The reverse applies when you come home - you'll be meet in the arrivals hall, and your car will be waiting - then you can drive yourself home.

When it's over, it's over - and home is the only place you want to be, without any hassle.
