Default Leaving a vehicle at airport...

park2go or park and Jet?

Curious if anyone has tried/used these guys and if they would recommend them. I am leery leaving a vehicle just in the long term at the airport and thought this was the way to go.

I like Park2Go as they bring the vehicle up to you when you land (and you drop it off at the entrance), rather than dropping you off at your vehicle in a shuttle.

Have used Park2Go a whole bunch of times. Used the other ones as well and never had a problem with any of them.

I parked in P2 right at the terminal, it was about $20 more for the week and my vehicle was protected from hail.

And no dealing with the bus.

Economy lot at the airport for me. $40 per week and only a 7 minute walk from the car to the terminal. (I timed it.) I also hate waiting for the shuttles. When I get home from a trip I just want to go- not wait to transfer to a bus.

Park2go and use their app if you have a smart phone. As soon as you land ( if you are on a domestic) you can call for the shuttle and it has been there every time when I walk out.
You can pay before you get on the bus and just jump in your car and leave.

And with the app you can also make reservations so drop offs are simple as well

I rarely seem to be able to get a spot at the economy lot. I was at the airport yesterday and for the first time in what seems like forever, the economy lot was open instead of the "lot full, please proceed to P2".

Are they building a second economy lot? That would be great!

Every time I have parked in that lot the "Lot Full" sign has been lit and there were plenty of spots. People are leaving all the time, it might take you a few minutes but it's not hard to find somewhere to park most times.

I take cabs/sedans, they end up costing almost the same thing for me. But I've contemplated using Park2Go. I guess a big down-side is that the vehicles are parked outside, right?

That is the thing, do you park out side in a secured or fenced area or park in long term where you are covered but less secure. TBH I had thought about the economy long term but joyriders recently have let doubt creep in.

If movies have taught me anything, long term airport parking is where you want to go to steal a car.

That's the thing- it all depends on where you live. Close to the airport for a long trip; it's really a wash. However if you live further from the airport and/or aren't going to be gone long, the difference can be significant.
