When it comes to airport parking most of us know that prices for the various types of parking can vary a lot. But what we may not know is how often those prices are checked by the companies involved.
We all want the best value for money we can get – although that doesn’t always mean paying the cheapest prices. Sometimes it can mean paying slightly more in order to get a better service, although the best deals offer the best services at a highly competitive price.
One particular company has recently undertaken a survey to find out how its car parks have performed at various locations. Airparks are known as one of the most popular and better known airport car parking companies. And their facilities at Manchester Airport came out as the cheapest among four airports they went to.
In order to see which airport came out the best they did a mystery shopper survey so that no one would know they were working out the prices for the parking services on each occasion. According to their results a week’s worth of parking at Manchester Airport cost almost £50 less than it did at several other locations in the UK. Needless to say this is a significant difference and one worth noting if you happen to be travelling from Manchester in the near future.
Indeed if you have the choice of travelling from there or from another UK airport, this survey could well tip the balance in favour of Manchester. The price difference is significant and it could also be the case that Airparks could prove a better choice than some other parking companies at the airport.
This is because their mystery shopper survey also found that the vast majority of customers were safely checked in within the space of five minutes. And when you have a plane to catch, speed is definitely of the essence. So you won’t just get good prices here – you’ll get good service too.
Of course the mystery shopper experience has provided the company with some valuable publicity material to use when it comes to promoting their parking facilities at Manchester Airport, as well as at other UK airports. But since they have some good facts and figures to promote we can see why they would want to make the most of this.
So if you are travelling from Manchester Airport soon, bear in mind the Airparks parking services.
