Spring break travel deal: Airport parking coupon saves you money before you take off
Getting a cheap flight or scoring a great deal isn't the only way to save money on your spring break trip. Look for less-than-obvious savings too, such as deals on your airport parking. This one could add up to the cost of a lunch or six-pack of something cold to drink.
The Parking Spot announced a spring break sale through April 30. Get 20% off your bill when you stay includes a Saturday night, and 10% off when it doesn't.
How to get the discount: Go to The Parking Spot website and click on the "Pack more into your vacation" banner to get the coupon. Print the coupon and bring it with you to the garage.
Tested: I checked prices for the LAX (Sepulveda) location for a March 18-22 stay, and rates were $19.50 per day for valet parking, $17.95 per day for covered parking and $13.95 per day for open-air parking, before taxes or the discount. For the cheapest option, the parking fees totaled $55.80 without taxes. When you apply the 20% discount (-$11.16) your new total is $44.64, or $49 including taxes. Prices may vary slightly depending on drop-off and pick-up times.
Tips: Make sure you print the coupon to get the discount. Reservations are recommended but not required.
Locations: There are 18 parking garages near airports, including Austin, Atlanta (two locations), Dallas (two locations serving DFW and one at Love Field), Houston (three locations serving Bush Intercontinental and one at Hobby), Kansas City, Los Angeles (two locations serving LAX on Century and Sepulveda Boulevards), Phoenix, St. Louis (two locations), Orlando and Nashville. |
