Tips for longstay parking at East Midlands Airport
East Midlands Airport (EMA) is located in the heart of England, about 13 miles southwest of Nottingham. The single terminal facility is popular among business travellers and provides sufficient and good car parking options.
Since a little bit longer than five years I’ve been catching business-related flights out of Nottingham. I seems like since I began to travel more frequent I always need more and more time going through the security and customs procedures. I was relieved when I discovered it was possible to save some time on my travelling due to making parking arrangements through the internet and it saved me a few pounds on the rather costly service.
At East Midlands Airport I found out that the levels of services which the available parking companies provide are similar. It’s taken me quite some time of trial and error, but I can say to myself that now I am some kind of an expert on the subject. Usually the firms only charge different rates and are situated at different locations. I always make my choice based on how much I want to pay and how much time I need.
The airport which only runs from a sole terminal offers short, mid and long-stay car parking. A short-stay parking amenity is located nearby the terminal building and you can pay the fees at several pay stations with your credit card. Within walking distance of the terminal there is medium-stay car parking available (maximum four days). The facility also operates a regular, free shuttle bus which follows a route to and from the airport terminal. The long-stay car park is positioned within a short walk from the airport grounds and a free transfer service connects it with the terminal. Booking beforehand online at a long-duration parking agency can reduce the price significantly.
Personally I am a fan of East Midlands on site car parking but I also can advice Nottingham East Midlands Airparks which is an off car park. These two facilities can easily be found nearby the terminal. On arrival at the Airparks facility you park your car in one of the arrival bays directly outside the reception building. When you check in you give your car keys and confirmation paper to the receptionist and a representative will park your car for you. After the check in procedure you will be driven to the airport terminal. When you arrive back at East Midlands airport you just give Airparks a ring once you’re finished collecting your luggage. The free number you need to call will be given when you check in for your return transfer to the parking site. Once returned at Airparks you give the card which they before gave you at check in, and they will give you your car keys back.
I’ve nearly tried all the alternative parking options at East Midlands, but I’m really convinced that these mentioned below online suppliers offer the quickest way arranging your East Midlands Airport car parking. As a sales manager it is necessary for me to travel out of Nottingham twice a month and I recommend their splendid trouble-free services.
