The Glasgow Airport is positioned within a short distance from the city centre. To reach the facility by car takes approximately 20 minutes. The airport lies north of the M8 motorway and is excellently connected to major highways serving the surrounding area. The airport has one terminal which features three piers, Central (Domestic), East (Lo-Cost & Ireland/Northern Ireland) and West (International). It is the United Kingdoms sixt largest airport complex. I used the airport in Glasgow probably more than hundreds of times as I fly three times per month out of the complex to London.

The past five years Ive parked my vehicle at almost all the car parking lots Glasgow airport has on offer including several off airport parking services. Because I have used the parking services so many times I guess Im not bragging if I say that by now Im an airport parking specialist. I always choose to park my car at one of the parking facilities before my flight takes off. At Glasgow airport you do not have to consider near which terminal you want to park as the airport operates only one comprehensive terminal.

Ive had the chance to try all the provided services and I think that they all are quite the same. They are all sufficiently secured and professionally operated. The only difference between the firms is obviously the situation and the prices they charge for the various car parking options they offer.

Directly outside the airport terminal is the dedicated area for pick-ups and drop-offs. The Glasgow airport itself has a multi-storey car parking lot proving spaces for short-stay and fast-track parking. Before you drive your car into this modern facility youll have to get a voucher from the barrier and when you return from your journey the parking fee can be paid at one of the pay stations which you can find in the multi-storey park. Alternatively you can pay by credit card at the barrier close to the terminal exit of the long-term parking amenity.

Direct access to the airport terminal building is provided by the short-term parking facility which is most convenient for those who wish to park their car for two or three hours. Attractive daily parking fees are available at the fast track facility on the ground floor. However, these special prices are only for passengers who pre-booked their parking online. There is a transfer service to and from the terminal, which runs every ten minutes, departing from the long-term parking car park. This facility is the best choice for fliers who are going on a long holiday or voyage. Services are reasonably priced and for those who booked car parking beforehand online are lucrative discounted fees available.

You also have the option to make use of the services which the valet parking option offers. It is by far the most laid-back way of having your car parked. One of the companys staff will meet you at a certain time at the airport terminal. He or she will drive your car to a well-secured compound not too far from the airport where it will be parked for you. Once you come back in Glasgow a driver will meet you at the same spot again and have your car ready for you. Obviously this service is more expensive compared with the other available options.
