My family and I will be flying out of Philly on a Wednesday am in August, leaving vehicle for 8 days. Looking for safe, private parking lot near airport that provides shuttle service to/from airport. At BWI there are numerous choices, assuming situation is similar in Philly. Prefer not to leave it on hotel lot as there is no need for us to stay over before or after flights. Thanks for your suggestions!

I always park at Colonial Parking. You get picked up and dropped off right at your car. Very safe lot. I park here when I go away for business and vacation. http://www.colonialparking.com/airport.html

There's also Park and Ride. I've never parked here but my friends and family like it and say it's safe.

We have used a couple and they were very good. Shuttles take you to the airport and drop you at your airline. When you return you pick up a special phone located at baggage pick up and usually within 5 mins. they come and get you.
Flying Carport
7060 Essington
Phila., PA
215-492-1161

Smart Park
610-521-3400 (this is a couple of exits below the airport, but not a problem getting back and forth to the airport).

Have a safe trip.

For years we have used Pacifico Valet. It is not a shuttle. You drive in there, and a driver takes you to the airport immediately in your own car. When you come back, they pick you up in your own car, usually within 8 minutes. There is a AAA discount. Check out <http://pacificocars.com/valet/>

When you get back, please post on this thread what you did so others may benefit. Thanks.

Thanks for your suggestions. I will let everyone know which service we use when we return. Our trip leaves early am Aug 20 and we return late evening Aug 27.

We use Sun Park, they quickly scoot you over to the terminal and it only takes minutes from when you call on your return for them to show up. Everyone is very friendly and the car has always been well cared for. Ask for the "manager's rate," I believe it is only 8 bucks/day or something like that. But for some crazy reason, you have to ask for it.

We always use Smart Park and are very happy with their speediness in picking up and dropping off.

Bonus: there is a Wawa just a few blocks away from Smart Park and we inevitably stop for cash or snacks before or after our trip.

Hi everyone. We used Colonial Parking. They were perfect, our car was parked close to the gate for easy access, and their web site had a coupon for $6.00 per day parking, couldn't beat the price. Coming from the south, they were very easy to locate also, just off I-95 before airport exit. Would use them again.

Edye - Thanks for the info.

We've also used Pacifico Valet on the strip near the airport of car dealerships, and it's been terrific. Not having to load and unload luggage onto a shuttle is a true bonus. They even washed our car last time (the outside of it, anyway). Highly recommend this service.

Hello all. How much per day does Pacifico charge? We just started using off-site parking at the airport. We've used Kinney, and they were OK, but the price was great. On the rare times I accompany my husband on business, we park in the lots at Terminal B or C, and its such a treat just to get our bags and walk across the bridge. But it's too expensive for us to justify it on our own. And I got soo tired of waiting for the airport's economy bus! My husband would leave to get the car and I'd wait for our bags. I'd get all our luggage, go outside, and often find him still waiting for the bus.

The rates for Pacifico start at 8/day and decrease after. Check out <http://pacificocars.com/valet/>. There is a tip to the driver, but also a AAA discount or a printable internet coupon.
