Should I book airport parking in advance
The short answer? Yes—booking airport parking in advance is almost always a smart move. Whether you're jetting off on a last-minute city break or planning a long-haul holiday, securing your parking space ahead of time can save you money, stress, and hassle on the day of travel.
At I Love meet and greet, we strongly recommend pre-booking to guarantee your space and get the best available price. With increasing demand at UK airports, leaving it to the last minute can lead to limited availability or higher charges. Below, we answer some common questions about booking airport parking in advance.

Booking & Pricing – Your Questions Answered
When is the best time to book airport parking in advance?
To get the best deal and ensure availability, it’s best to book as soon as your travel dates are confirmed. Prices tend to rise closer to the departure date, especially during peak travel seasons like summer holidays and school breaks.
How much in advance can you book?
Many airport parking providers, including I Love meet and greet, allow you to book months ahead of your trip. That said, you can also book right up to the same day, subject to availability. For peace of mind and the best rates, we recommend booking as early as possible.
Are there any price differences for booking in advance versus on the day?
Absolutely. Booking in advance is usually significantly cheaper than turning up and paying on arrival—especially if you're parking for a week or more. Like flights and hotels, airport parking prices fluctuate based on demand, so booking ahead helps you lock in a lower rate.
How are parking prices calculated?
Prices are typically based on several factors, including:
- Date and time of arrival and return
- Duration of stay
- Type of parking (meet and greet, park and ride, or on-airport)
- Airport location and terminal
At I Love meet and greet, we offer transparent pricing with no hidden extras, so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
Can I book parking for the same day?
Yes, same-day bookings are available with many providers, including us. However, last-minute bookings may have limited space and higher prices. Booking in advance is the best way to secure your preferred service and save money.
