The Manchester Airport valet service everyone should be using
My review of APH Car Parking at Manchester Airport surprised me. The service made me feel relaxed at a great price.
I love everything about going on vacation, from the excitement of finding the best deal and booking the vacation to getting on the plane and arriving at my hotel or cruise. But what I hate about going on vacation is the hassle of queuing at check-in and going through security, not to mention airport parking.
Am I the only one who hates the process of booking airport parking and getting from the parking lot to the airport? It always seems like a hassle to try to find a good deal, go through all the reviews and honestly some airport parking companies have a lot of bad reviews until you find a reliable one. That was until I tried APH Manchester Airport Parking.
In September I was due to go by train to Manchester Airport. Over the years I have started using trains to Manchester Airport instead of parking at the airport. This is because of the negative experiences I have had over the years.
My previous experience with parking companies at Manchester airport is high prices, problems finding a parking space and long waits for the bus to take me to the airport. I have had an unhelpful experience on a few previous occasions, and I would say the staff is rude. That's why I was concerned when they suggested I put my previous bad experiences to bed and try APH Manchester Airport Parking.
I jumped into my Nissan Qashqai and drove to Manchester Airport. To be honest, driving to an airport gives you more freedom. It allows you to decide what time to leave and can be much cheaper than jumping the train.
Still apprehensive about using an airport car parking company at Manchester Airport, I arrived at APH Car Park, based at Bradnor Rd, Sharston Industrial Area, Wythenshawe, Manchester M22 4TE. Arriving at the car park brought back some memories of when I was a kid, I used to go through Sharston, Wythenshawe to watch the planes take off.
My wife and I drove to the gate where the barrier was quickly raised. No need to worry about finding a parking space as we were told to park our car near the office for them to take it to their designated parking space. How easy is that? It was such a relief that after not wasting a lot of time driving around the parking lot looking for a spot.
After unloading our luggage, we walked a few seconds to the office where we were greeted by friendly staff. To be honest it was a huge surprise on many fronts mainly because it was early in the morning and secondly some of the manchester airport parking companies we have used the staff acted like they didn't they wanted to be there
The staff at APH Car Parking were very friendly and after handing over the keys and informing us of the procedure for when we return to Manchester Airport, we boarded a waiting bus. The bus driver who was very funny and chatty helped people with their luggage which was a lovely surprise. I remember telling my wife on the bus that I felt like I was in another world. My positive experience with the APH car park was unlike anything I had experienced before.
When you go to the airport you want to feel relaxed and enjoy the experience. Normally when I use an airport valet company I am stressed about the time I get to the check in desk which has a knock on effect going through security which I must add why i keep stopping But after using APH Car Parking at Manchester Airport I felt relaxed.
After a wonderful vacation, the experience of collecting my car was as relaxing as dropping it off. We didn't have to wait long for the bus to arrive, and as soon as we got off the bus our car was ready and waiting. A real plus was that our car had been washed.
I can't fault APH Car Parking, my experience from making my booking to arriving at the parking facilities to being transported to the airport was amazing. And another bonus was the information provided by the bus driver on the way back. He informed everyone on the bus what roadworks there were to avoid on the motorway.
One important piece of information I would like to add is that don't waste your time visiting airport parking comparison sites. If you want a professional parking service at Manchester Airport and want to get a great price, go straight to APH Parking (https://www.aph.com)
