Avoid parking fees and save money on your December getaway

If you have traveled from an airport before, you know how important it is to get there on time. One of the main concerns that worries everybody is the type of transport that will assure a punctual ride to and from the airport. Most people like to rely on themselves, so the option of getting there with their own car is pretty attractive.

If you will be flying from Venice, Bologna, Milan or any other airport, and you want to get there with your own vehicle, you may want to consider a few things first.

Being on time is hard when traffic plays against you

Being on time is extremely important when taking a flight. The plane won’t wait for you and you don’t want to miss it, since the ticket is non-refundable. During holiday season the roads are mostly overcrowded and everyone wants to get somewhere as quick as possible, especially in the departure areas.

The parking area will probably be overcrowded

Many times, mainly during holiday season, the parking areas are overcrowded, which only increases the chance that something bad might happen to your car. Also, you might have some trouble finding a parking space due to a higher number of travelers.

Don’t forget about weather conditions

You have to consider the fact that, if you decide to leave your car in the budget, uncovered area (which is still pricy and will cost you at least 10 € per day), you may experience some issues caused by snow and ice. You don’t want to get stuck and be unable to move your car once your return flight has landed.

Avoid leaving your car keys behind during holiday season

There are some private parking areas in close proximity that offer a shuttle service to the airport, but you may not want to lose precious time finding a parking space and wait for the shuttle to appear, especially not with the December traffic. Also, most of these parking areas require leaving your keys to the staff, since they try to cope with the high number of vehicles by moving them closer together.

Booking an airport transfer is probably the best option

You can still get to the airport in a safe, comfortable and affordable way, and save fuel and the money for the parking fees. By booking a guaranteed ride with one of the Goopti transfer options, you can make sure that you will get to the airport on time and won’t have to worry about your car.
