A
irport parking is never going to be
the sexiest product but it’s easy to
sell and the commission can soon
add up if you encourage most of
your customers to book it with you.
The main selling point of pre-booking for
clients is that it is significantly cheaper than
paying at the gate – Superbreak estimates
that it’s up to 60% cheaper.
Commission rates vary between companies,
and Holiday Extras, which also owns BCP,
estimates that agents earn an average of £7
per parking booking.
Essential Travel, which offers parking at
27 UK airports, says there are three types of
services at major airports but some smaller
airports offer only one or two of these options.
SERVICE CHECK
Meteor Meet & Greet, Heathrow
By Lucy Huxley
Sometimes the best ideas are the simplest, and Meteor
seems to be doing the simple things very well with its
Meet & Greet service.
We found the process really straightforward.
Being able to drop the car off outside the terminal at
Heathrow was useful, but the service really came into its
own when we returned.
Rather than having to phone from the baggage hall
and wait for the car to be delivered – as is the case with
some other services – the car was already waiting in a
parking bay when we arrived.
As all parents who travel with children will know,
the importance of that level of convenience can’t be
underestimated.
This isn’t a luxury service, it’s all about convenience.
