As most dedicated winter sports fans will tell you, one of the hardest things about going on a skiing holiday occurs before you even depart. Namely transporting your equipment to the airport in the first place. Public transport is hardly ideal as ski's on the underground or on buses do not generally mix and most taxis will try their hardest to avoid the difficulty.

Because of these types of problems, lots of people opt to drive to the airport and park their car there for the duration of their holiday. As one of the market leaders in airport car parking, we can offer some fantastic prices for airport parking, starting from under £3.27** per day.

Many of our prices are much cheaper than what you would pay if you just turned up on the day looking for parking. Booking in advance with us could save you up to as much as 60% on gate prices.

However even parking your car yourself means that at the very best, having to drop off your companions with the ski gear and then park your car before catching the transfer bus back to the airport to meet up with them again.

This is where our ever more popular meet and greet service is a great alternative. You simply drive to the terminal that you are departing from, you will be met there by a fully insured and qualified chauffeur driver, who will (after you have unloaded your luggage) drive your car to a secure parking compound and park it for you. Upon your return the chauffeur will be at a pre-arranged meeting point with your car, ready for your collection.

Of course driving to the airport, one is always at the mercy of the traffic, as well as the unpredictable weather conditions that the UK experiences in the winter. So more and more of our customers are now realising the benefits of booking a room the night before departure at one of the airport hotels that we have available. (Most of which will also include car parking for up to 15 days)

If you are one of those people that like to plan and organise all elements of your winter holiday, rather than booking one of the inclusive tour packages, then Bookfhr can also offer overseas car hire at very competitive rates and have a great selection of cars available. If you click here, you will be able to access our on-line booking facility to check prices and models.

 

For those of you, who prefer not to drive whilst on holiday Bookfhr.com can help you organise the transfer from the airport to your holiday accommodation. Holiday Transfers can be booked for any amount of people, from individuals to group bookings. All at prices made more economical by the amount of passengers being transported.

* Price valid as at 22/11/06 for minimum one weeks travel insurance.

** Price valid as at 22/11/06 based on 8 days parking.
