Long Term Parking at PHL
 

We need to leave our car at Philadelphia Airport for a two-week trip -- I can find on the PHL website how much it will take to get my car out of hock, but not whether or not I can use my credit card to pay or if I have to pay cash.<BR><BR>Does anyone out there know??

I am 98% sure you can pay with credit car upon leaving the lots and the garages. Since most places that offer longterm parking are not connected directly to the airports, you probably won't find that info on the PHL website. Another place you could try is to call a local travel agency and ask (or call a AAA Travel Agency--they should know). Good luck and hopefully someone else will be 100% sure.

We usually park off site at Colonial Parking, but there are plenty of other places as well south of the airport. Colonial does take credit cards.

We usually park at Pacifico Valet which is near the airport. They take you to the airport in you car and come with it when you return. No need to catch a bus and find your car. Very convenient. Go to &lt;http://pacificocars.com/valet/&gt;. They take CC's.<BR><BR>No, this is not an ad.

We have parked at the long term/economy lot frequently. Yes, they take credit cards.

1. I would definitely use one of the private lots -- all of which take cc's -- instead of the long-term parking at the airport. (We use the Ramada in Essington, but there are others.)<BR>2. Make some call to the hotels surrounding the airport and see if they offer free parking to people who spend the night at the hotel. Parking your car for two week is going to cost you about $90, so maybe you can get a room for, say, $75, spend the night before you leave, and leave your car at the hotel parking lot.

<BR>Due to family in South Jersey, we sometimes fly out of PHL. We also use Pacifico Valet. It is about 7 dollars a day. They have someone take you to your terminal, and they pick you up when you arrive. Their website offers a 10% off coupon. If you don't use that one AAA memebers get the 10% off too!
