So I normally park in one of two places when going to the airport. No Vette or course! I either park at the airport if the trip is short, or I park at Winner Parking (off site), as they drive you to the airport in you car and for an extra $10, they bring your car to you at the airport when you return and leave you there, giving you the ability to leave directly from the airport.

I am parking less at the airport with the new prices, so I was wondering where everyone else parks? I like the service, but always looking for a better one. Thanks!

I always park at Pre-Flight http://www.preflightparking.com/PHL.aspx
parking, they used to be called Ampro. It's off site also, off Island blvd. They offer indoor parking for a little more same location.The indoor is under camera and very safe. Many people will bring a nice car and cover it too. I've even left my Vette there a couple times and no problem but I must admit I was worried, it is Philly. They have shuttle busses that take you to the airport 5 min ride incl. in the price, tips not incl.
I recomend them because once in the middle of the winter I returned from a trip late, about 11pm. It was snowing and miserable, the bus dropped me off at my car and left. I quickly realized my battery was stone dead. I opened my hood and 2 minutes later a pre-flight truck pulled up with a jumpstart box got me going imediately. No charge, I gave the guy a $10 tip (cheap).
They will also, for a fee, wash your car, chg oil, fix flats, tune up (?), etc...

Thanks! I just printed a coupon for Winner parking and it was real cheap too. The car I am driving their is my beater so it can be abused, but I will go on line and check these guys out too!

in the terminal garages

I used to park in the terminal garages until the day I found both my windsheild wipers arms bent at at 90 degree angle and a key scratch, to the metal, on the right side from the headlight to the tail light on my cherry BMW. When I reported it to the PHL parking authority their official response was "We ain't sponsible". I don't go there anymore. ;gab

I am interested to hear opinions on this too. I always park in the terminal parking garages too, mainly because my employer is paying for it so I want the ultimate in convenience at their expense. But for my own rare leisure travel it would be good to know some other options.

Sign up for Pre-flights frequent user program. You will earn enough points to park for free when not on the company's ticket.

I do that with Winner. I park for free almost every time I travel for personal reasons.

I park in their terminals some times, but even though it is the company's dime, my bonus is directly impacted by how much we spend, so I have an incentive to be thrifty!

I'd be happy to drive you to the airport in your Vette, pick you up in it upon your return and take care of it while you are gone. All for no charge:D

You might need new tires though

Sorry to hear of your incident. That sucks. I've been parking there for 20 years with no problems.

That hurts! I try to perform a useful service by checking tires for roundness and you hold it against me:D
