Long Term Parking at the Airport (And wifi @ the Airport)
There appears to be a new parking facility near the airport. But for the life of me I cannot recall the name, nor can I find it in a search. Does anybody recall the name- it is on Barlow north of both Park & Jet and Park & Fly.
Also, has anybody used them? Just thinking it isn't worth saving $5 if I have to wait at the airport for an extra hour when I get home from my trip.

Are you talking about the one north of the terminal?

It's supposed to offer valet service, so presumably, you drop your vehicle with them and they park it for you while their shuttle takes you to the airport. Then, when you return, your car is ready and waiting for you.

Thanks getbak.
Looks like they have an online coupon making them $10 cheaper than Park & Jet. I'm just not sure how comfortable I am with the Valet concept; especially having their guy go get my car after it has been sitting in -15 weather for a week. How many seconds will the car jockey let the engine warm up for before he guns it into reverse?

Park2go is great. Drop your vehicle at the entrance. Get into your vehicle at the entrance when you return. No waiting.

I always use Park2Go, they are typically the first shuttle to pick you up too which I love. Its great seeing the Park and Jet people sitting there waiting...

Park & Jet is $72
Park & Fly is $84 (but I think they have an AMA discount)
Park 2 Go is $70, or use their online coupn for $60

My face is a bum!

If you're parking somewhere that isn't totally secure, take everything with your home address (registration) and your garage opener out of your car.

I use Park to go most times. Generally pretty good. Occasionally it seems to take forever for the pickup though.

Whatever you do, dont use the long term parking at the airport itself.. I was late for my flight to vegas last may and I ended up paying $120 to park for 3 or 4 days..

Because last time I looked into it the cost was around $70 each way. I guess it all depends on what part of the city you live in.

What happened was my one buddy had parking because he works for an airline, so we just parked close to the airport and he drove from there.
So my only airport parking experiences are with Park & Jet.
