Park2go has a 20% off discount for UofC grads, just show your alumni card.

Thought I would relate a recent experience with Park2go. Used Park2go during a recent trip to Europe. Had to call their shuttle, the last time I used them we didn't, no big deal. Get back to the lot and they can't find our key. After about 20 minutes, and finally letting us look through the keys, we find it. At that point I pretty much had my mind made up that I would never use them again. Because of the inconvenience they didn't charge us for parking, an $85 value. Thought that was pretty good of them. I will definitely use them again.

And I'm going to bump my own thread too. Going to the airport this morning I saw that there is now long term parking available at the airport itself for $80 per week. So that's about $8 more than Park & Jet, and no shuttle to deal with. Not sure how close to the airport it actually is, but it looked close.

To get to it you head east on Airport trail from Deerfoot and turn south on 19th street. (The only set of lights between Deerfoot and Barlow.)

Also, not sure if it needs its own thread or not, but the Calgary airport now has free wi-fi. (About time too!) Previously you had to get an account with Telus and if you wanted to pay per day it was around $10.

I just used Park & Fly this past week, so here's an idea of pricing.

Entered Jan 2 at 6:00 am
Departed Jan 7 at 7:00 pm

$83.70 (6 days at $13.95/day) - $13.95 (for stay over five days) - $10.46 (15% AMA discount) = $59.29 total stay + GST.

Thought it was a pretty decent rate, even though I'll get reimbursed by my company. I will say, though, that over holidays, Park & Fly is often full.

Park2Go worked fine for me too. Called the number on the card they gave me as I waited for my baggage. Bus was there when I came out. When we arrived at the lot, my car was first in line and heat was on full blast. It worked out well for me but like others have said, I get nervous leaving my keys with those I don't know. I noted the mileage before handing over the keys, hadn't budged really when I got back.

Seemed ok to me. HELL of a lot better than trying to trudge down snow filled lanes trying to find your car at midnite.

What's the deal with that 'cell lot' that is 'now open' right beside the short term parking?

That's where people waiting to pick you up can hang out until you call them on their cellular phone.

Used Park2Go before Christmas when we to Huatulco for 10 days. We drove there at around 4 in the morning the day that big snow storm hit. Drive there was pretty crazy but the Park2Go people had their place all plowed out and ready to go. Drop-off was painless and fast. On our return, there was a shuttle waiting when we walked outside the airport and we only had to wait about 5 minutes before we were off. Our vehicle was warm (mostly - it was frackin cold that day!) and ready for us when we got there. Highly recommend them!

Nice, wish they had that when I was there.

I know Edmonton, Toronto and Montreal all don't. Back on topic Park2Go ftw

I didn't really enjoy my experience with Park2Go. I was on Airport Tr and it wasn't marked anywhere...it is well marked on Barlow but I wasn't on Barlow and didn't have a map where it was located. I had already made a reservation and searching for it almost made me late for the flight. Then when I arrived there the driver was in the bathroom...fair enough but it was a frustration for sure.Then they took at least 20min to pick me up when I arrived in Calgary. When I went back to pick up my car, my snow brush/scraper was gone...I used it just before I drove up to the airport and it was definitely in my car when I left it there.

Meh...I'll just cab up there in the future.
