I need to park my car at SeaTac for 32 nights. The best rate I've found is the AAA rate at ShuttlePark2: $48 for the first week and $8.10 per day after that. Do you know of a better deal? Have you had a good experience with ShuttlePawk2?

Wow, that's a heckuva rate! Looks like about $250 for the period.

If it were me, I'd consider leaving the car parked somewhere *in* Seattle, instead of at SeaTac, then cabbing or busing from wherever the car is to SeaTac, and back from SeaTac to the car when you return?

Do you have a friend or relative in town that would allow you to park on his/her property for that month?

Or: look into monthly rental rates for a parking spot in one of the city's many commercial parking structures. The price might be steep, but I can't imagine it being any steeper than what ShuttlePark2 has quoted.

Or: in case the other alternatives aren't possible -- Put a request out to Craigslist (Seattle) with a offer to *pay* a resident for use of a driveway or garage for a month. It could be *much* cheaper than an airport spot. Heck, for $150, you could use *my* garage for a month!

At those prices, I'd definitely look into alternatives.

You are so right, fritzrl.

After posting this query, I called around and found a Diamond garage about 1/2 mile from my place that will charge about $115 for the 32-night period.

Oh good, because I was getting ready to rent you MY parking space at my condo for 32 nights, and drive you to the airport myself

Terrific, HTTY.

Now you can enjoy a truly fine dinner wherever you're going, and *still* save money.

Good call.
