Travel expert advises precise airport parking bookings to avoid extra fees
Ricky Durrance of Teletext Holidays recommends booking airport parking accurately and allowing a sensible buffer to prevent overstay charges.
Accurate booking
Ricky Durrance, a travel expert from Teletext Holidays, advises booking airport parking accurately to avoid extra charges.
Buffer time
He suggests allowing a sensible buffer for airport procedures such as disembarkation, passport control, baggage claim and shuttle travel.
Adding a buffer of a few extra hours can push parking time over a 24‑hour limit, triggering an extra day charge.
Check terms
Ricky advises checking whether car parks charge in 24‑hour blocks or by calendar day and reviewing the booking terms for any grace period before overstay charges apply.
