Manchester Airport Unveils Valet Parking
Manchester Airport has launched a new valet parking service providing fast and convenient access to both terminals 1 and 3.
Customers are now able to pull up in a dedicated VIP enclosure outside Terminal 1 and drop their car keys to a team of specially trained valet parkers before jetting off on holiday or business.
The valets then park the cars in a safe and secure, ParkMark awarded car park and then at the end of a customer’s trip return the car to the VIP area ready for collection.
The valet parking service will cost around £7 per day so parking for a week’s holiday will cost £56 – less than the £66 average taxi fare to and from Manchester Airport.
The move is part of Manchester Airport’s drive to further improve customer experience and cut “kiss and fly” trips to the airport where friends and family or even taxis make four journeys to and from the airport dropping off and collecting passengers.
Director of Car Parks, Andy Cliffe explained: “We’re really proud of this first valet parking service provided by Manchester Airport. We want to offer our customers choices that make the journey easy and this service is ideal for customers who want the ultimate convenience at great value for money.
“We are also very committed to reducing the number of car journeys to and from the airport. Obviously the best environmental solution is for people to come to the airport by public transport but not everyone is able to or wants to travel by bus, train or tram. The next best option is to just make one return journey to the airport and that means providing car parking here at the airport.
“There are already lots of car parking alternatives ranging from Shuttle Park to the Short Stay Multi Storey car parks and this new valet parking services adds another option.”
The service can be booked through www.manchesterairport.co.uk website or by phone.
