Trying Out Buffalo Airport Parking Alternatives

Parking at Buffalo International Airport can be a big expense if you're not careful. As an airport traveler, you need to be aware of airport parking fees and how to get the best deals. Knowing in advance where you will park your car can save you up to 25% and more.

If you just go to the airport not knowing where you are going to park, think again. The airport parking lots are just waiting for you to turn up unaware of the exorbitant prices. The key here is to know where you are going to park before you head out to the airport.

The rates we found for parking your car at any of Buffalo Airport's parking lots were way too much to justify the high prices. Couple that with the lack of personalized service, and you are really getting ripped off.

One way to save money on Buffalo Airport Parking is to park at one of the private remote parking lots, and there are many of them. These are often much cheaper than the Buffalo airports own long-term parking lots, and online discounts can make parking at one of these facilities an even better deal.

Drivers often avoid the private lots, thinking it will take extra time to transfer to and from the airport. But many of these private parking lots are also a shuttle ride away from the terminal. And at Buffalo Airport, the long-term parking lots are often full, which means you could spend an hour looking for a place to park before searching for a remote parking lot anyway.

A good alternative to save money on parking at Buffalo Airport I have found is to find a hotel near Buffalo airport which has a park and fly package. These packages include a one night stay at the Hotel, parking for 7 to 14 days, and airport shuttle service to and from the airport 24 hours a day. Not to mention leaving the stress of driving into the airport to the shuttle van driver.

One of the best hotel parking package deals I found near Buffalo airport is The Village Haven Motel, offering up to 14 days of parking at just $89. It is located just 6 miles from the Buffalo airport and offers free shuttle service to and from your car 24 hours a day, 7 day a week on demand. No sitting in a hot or freezing cold parking lot hoping an airport shuttle van will come find you.

When you return from your trip, you just call the hotel and they will come pick you up.

There are some closer hotels to the Buffalo airport, including LaQuinta Inn & Suites, Microtel, Clarion, EconoLodge, and The Millenium Airport Hotel to name a few. They all offer similar deals, and usually have airport shuttles running on demand or on a schedule, but the service is much better, and you get a much better value for your airport parking dollars.

The bottom line is, doing your homework before you go to Buffalo airport can save you 25% or more compared to just showing up and parking in the first airport parking lot you find.
