When my girlfriend, brother and I decided to fly out to Stuttgart from Manchester Airport, we were met with a problem common to many travellers, how should we get to the airport? I had used the train link when I had travelled earlier in the year but this had cost £20 from Huddersfield and with three of us, it was almost as expensive as our flights. We therefore decided to check out the cost of parking up in or around the airport.
I used the website simplyparking.co.uk to search for low cost parking at the airport and this gave me several options for parking. Having looked at the prices and locations, I decided upon Securapark. They were one of the cheapest at only £14.25 for the weekend but also, unlike some of the other companies; they appeared to be close to the airport and offered regular shuttle buses. My booking confirmation and information came through from simplyparking.co.uk and we looked forward to our trip.
GETTING THERE
Having travelled up from my house near Milton Keynes, we got to the outskirts of Manchester. The booking confirmation had directions from the M56 so we headed towards that road from the M6.
This led to our first problem, as we were unaware that you can't get direct from the M6 onto the M56 eastbound, something they should maybe have mentioned on the instructions. Having sorted ourselves we headed into Manchester looking for junction 3A. If you aren't used to the area then do be careful, as you have to come off at 3A then go back onto the westbound carriageway to get to J4.
Once off at J4 the instructions were clear: At the 3rd set of lights, turn left into Rowlandsway, 50yds on the left is a BP Station Securapark up/down ramps are next to BP station
These would have been fine if two extra sets of traffic lights hadn't sprung up. The directions came from simplyparking.co.uk and I don't know if they have updated these since but if you do use this service, be warned!
SERVICE
The car park takes the upper floors of a multi-storey car park and looked to be quire secure with only one entrance/exit that were overseen by the Securapark office. On arrival, you are met by a representative and they will take your details. The guy who met us was very miserable and gave a bad first impression of the company but I am pleased to say that the guy who picked us up two days later was the exact opposite.
Whilst your passengers are bundled into one of their fleet of mini-vans, you follow the driver to your predetermined space. There looked to be plenty of room at the car park so I doubt there will be any problems getting a spot. The driver then takes you and your party all the way to the front of the terminal from which you are flying, only a 5-10min journey.
When you return you are asked to call the company once you have cleared customs and baggage and they will send you a mini-van to collect you. I had a few problems at this point, as they couldn't find the confirmation that I had checked my car in on the Friday night but after a while sorted something out. I don't believe that this is a fair representation of the company as the other people who came back in the mini-van included a businessman who appeared to use the service frequently. My personal opinion is that the grumpy guy who checked me in hadn't filled the paper work in correctly.
OVERALL OPINION
Despite the miserable man ho checked me in on the Friday, I found the service offered by Securapark above satisfactory. I would use them again although their abilities I would imagine are comparable to other companies so I w0uld probably be swayed more by cost than company. I was happy to have left my car on their premises and it made my trip much more relaxing.

Advantages: close to airport Disadvantages: very very very slow service
securapark manchester- we needed nearby parking for our recent trip abroad, after a little research securapark looked a good bet £38 for a weeks secure parking 10 miutes from manchester airport, the blurb offers a quick turnaround "chauffer" driven service there eneded the sales pitch. We arrived at 3.45 am giving 2.5 hours before our flight, the place is easy to find, you go up a spiral car park and are met by miserable no one who books you in you ... ...at least thirty, you then wait for the very few staff to take three cars back and forth with no apparant rush or plan the cars are parked willy nilly and you wait and wait eventually you are taken to the airport and dropped in the bus park doesnt matter where you are going and even if they have made you late. on return there is more fun you ring the number spaek to the nice girl and wait again forty mins with the standard response --- we are rammed ...
