Most airports have
facilities for both short term and long term parking. If the car would be taken
back within a few hours or at most by the end of the day, then short term
parking is fine. What happens, though, if you plan to go away for a few weeks?
Then the long term parking CMH you
would need at the airport could turn out to be pretty costly. Is there any
other way you could explore to get affordable long term parking at CMH and other
airports?
Think out of the
airport first. There are bound to be some hotels outside the airport. Many of
them would offer you the facility of long term parking if you book a room with
them for a night. The tariff would, of course, be a little more than their
regular room tariffs, but they would still be lower than the airport parking
charges. You can check in to the hotel the day before your journey, and park
your vehicle with them. The next day they would drop you to the airport in
their shuttle service, and would again you pick you up at the airport on your
return. This works best when you are travelling with your family for a
vacation, and this arrangement can give you the feel of a holiday a day in
advance.
If you do not want
to stay in a hotel in your own city, then you can try out the private parking
spaces outside the airport. They offer similar amenities and standard security
at much lower rates than the parking inside airports. They also offer free
shuttle services, and also free car wash services as well. If you are running
short of time, they can also offer valet parking services on payment. Overall,
you will find these a much more cost effective option.
