IRISH tourists are being issued an important reminder ahead of their holidays as peak season hits.
When travelling abroad, there are a number of things to remember to make your trip plain sailing.
Whether it’s travel insurance, ensuring you get to the airport on time or security rules, there are always things to remember.
But one thing that passengers may forget is to pre-book parking.
Shannon Airport is urging passengers to remember that pre-booking is always best – especially during the peak summer season.
In a post on social media, the airport noted that it is now peak season, with thousands set to arrive and depart through the airport.
Taking to Facebook, Shannon Airport said: “Passengers are advised to pre-book car parking where possible.
“With peak season in full swing, we recommend pre-booking your car parking at least one week in advance.
“For more information on parking, visit our website.”
Parking spaces on site at Shannon Airport are set to sell out fast, as many plan where to leave their car when abroad.
The first reason to pre-book, is for the best price.
Shannon Airport said: “Make savings on drive up rates by booking online.”
ADDED BENEFITS
By booking ahead, you are guaranteeing a reduced rate compared to what you would get if you drove up.
The second benefit is securing your spot so that you won’t be left with nowhere to park on the day.
And, your booking is flexible, meaning if for whatever reason you cannot travel, you can change your booking for free up to 24 hours before you’re set to arrive.
On the website, you can input the date you will arrive into the car park along with the departure date to get your rate.
Passengers can choose between three options, depending on how long you are travelling away for.
The Shannon Park4Less is a 6 to 8 minute walk from the terminal, and is classed as the airports “best value car park”.
Prices start from €9 per day and it’s only available to book online.
CLOSEST OPTION
The Shannon Airport Long Stay car park is just a two to three minute walk from the terminal, and offers free cancellations.
Prices start from €10 per day, and you are urged to pre-book in advance to guarantee the best rates.
Finally, there is the Shannon Short Stay car park, located just a 30 second walk from the terminal.
It is described as the “closest, most convenient car park” and is ideal for short stays.
Prices start at €24 per day, and there is free cancellation offered.
