Why Book Airport Parking Early for Christmas Rush

Travellers Advised to Book Airport Parking Early Amid Christmas Rush…

If you are planning to travel during the 2025 Christmas holidays, you are urged to book your airport parking well in advance to avoid high price surges, limited availability, or even missing out entirely.

Why the Warning?

Airports across the UK, Europe, and globally are expecting a record-breaking number of holiday travellers this December. The Christmas period typically sees a surge in travel, but with increasing post-pandemic demand and more people opting for winter getaways, parking spaces are expected to fill up quickly.  Similar to flights, airport parking spaces are priced on demand; therefore as the spaces fill, the price tends to rise.  Booking early ensures you secure your space and at the very best possible price.

What You Need to Know:

• Book Early: Airport parking can sell out weeks in advance during the festive period. Booking now can secure your spot and lock in lower rates.

• Compare Prices: Be sure to check out different meet-and-greet and park-and-ride parking options. Both offer different conveniences and are priced accordingly.

• Avoid Paying On-the-Day: Turning up without a booking often means paying premium prices – sometimes more than double the pre-booked rate.

• Look for Promotions: As a member, you will save instantly on every booking.  If you are parking with us for the first time, you will enjoy an instant 10% off your first booking.  Look out for our member-only promo codes that are sent out periodically.

• Check Cancellation Policies: In case your travel plans change, flexible bookings may save you money. We know things change and so we offer a free cancellation policy with every booking.  Read more here.

Airports Most Affected:

The larger, busier airports, Heathrow, Gatwick, Luton, Birmingham, and Stansted are likely to see the biggest demand for parking, especially between December 20 and January 2.

Pro Tip:

Consider park-and-ride parking options (off-airport parking) with shuttle services — often cheaper and still convenient if you plan ahead.
