Most Holiday Extras customers save £125 on their airport parking

Book your parking in advance to save on the gate rate.

It's almost always cheaper to book your airport parking in advance rather than pay on the gate the day you fly. In fact, it's so much cheaper to book in advance that last year most of our customers saved at least £125, rather than paying on the day.

The average saving compared to just driving to the airport and paying the gate rate on the day in 2024 was £196. That means, with travellers telling us they'll average three trips abroad this year, just pre-booking parking for those trips rather than paying on the gate saves enough to buy a return flight to New York or a theatre break in London.

7% of UK travellers tell us they still pay for their parking on the day. That's £196 they could have put towards their holiday – so if you're still buying your airport parking on the day, we strongly recommend booking in advance to take advantage of the savings.

Book your airport parking in advance

Last year we saved our customers more than half a billion pounds on their airport parking

This year it's also important to book your airport hotel early – not just to secure the best price, but because block-booking of airport hotels by the government means there may be limited availability in the summer. So the best time to book your airport parking and your airport hotel is as soon as you've booked your flights.

*We calculate our customers' savings by comparing the price each customer paid for their parking through us to either the gate rate for that car park, where a gate rate is available, or if a gate rate is not available for that car park the cheapest gate rate available at the same airport.
