Shuttle Parking

Question 1

Are the shuttle buses frequent?

Accepted Answer

Let the provider know what time you're going to be arriving at the car park when you make your reservation. This means they can make necessary arrangements so that a shuttle bus will be provided at that time and you don't have to wait. Usually there is a bus available as soon as you have parked. Sometimes the driver may want to wait a little bit for other customers who are arriving at the same time before setting off. It can also be that the bus gets full quickly due to the car park being busy, such as in high season, the provider will therefore make sure more buses are running and more staff are on hand to assist you.

Question 2

How do I get to the airport after I have parked?

Accepted Answer

This depends on the service you have chosen but if you have chosen Shuttle Parking then there is always a transfer bus available free of charge to take you to the airport terminal after you have parked your car. With Valet Parking, you park directly at the terminal so there is no transfer.

Question 3

Do I have to give up my keys?

Accepted Answer

Mostly with Shuttle Parking this isn't necessary since you have the option to park yourself and make your way to the terminal by bus. Therefore, the parking provider doesn't necessarily need your keys. In some instances they may ask for your keys in case they wish to make more space in the car park and organise it better. They will not drive your car unless it is completely necessary and they will store your keys in a safe until your return. It can also be more secure due to fire safety. On our website Manchesterairportparking24.co.uk, it is always stated whether you have to hand over the keys or not in the comparison overview of each parking provider.

Question 4

Why is it necessary to give up my keys?

Accepted Answer

With Shuttle Parking you usually have the luxury of keeping your car keys since you park your car yourself. A parking provider may ask to keep your keys only for the interest of fire safety and making the car park more organised and efficient. This will be shown on our website Manchesterairportparking24.co.uk under the pros and cons section.

Question 5

How many people can the shuttle bus take?

Accepted Answer

The size of the bus differs per parking provider with most carrying a maximum of 8 people at a time. You can let the provider know, when booking, how many people will be travelling with you so the parking provider is aware of this when organising the shuttle buses.

Question 6

Is it possible to take the shuttle even if I am a wheelchair user?

Accepted Answer

If your wheelchair can be folded then it is perfectly find to take the shuttle bus.
