Is outdoors the best safest and most convenient place to park your car?

Luckily I’ve not had to leave my car at the airport very often. I’ve always been able to find a friend to drop me off. However, lots of people travel regularly and can’t always be asking people to taxi them here and there.

When considering where to leave your car think about what is important to you. If your airport is in a nice safe area of the city, which many aren’t, then you don’t have any concerns. I’m lucky that way. My airport has almost nothing around it, and the parking is sort of nestled in the middle of everything, so I don’t have much worry when I have had to leave my car behind.

In a town like Los Angeles, though, you will want to look at the location of where you’re leaving your car. Unfortunately you’ll not always find space available at an airport as busy as LAX. When looking for lax airport parking that’s off-site consider it’s location; the amenities it offers, such as indoor parking; how often the shuttle service runs; how far away from the airport it’s located; security measures that are in place; and of course cost. It might be worth paying a dollar or two more to have more frequent shuttles drop-offs, indoor parking during the hottest summer months, or have the lot located close to the airport for quick drop-off (especially if you usually run late). There are always good deals to be had, but sure they really are good deals for you and your needs before you jump at the cheapest price. It’s no fun to have a flight land late and find out the last shuttle to the parking lot was a half hour before you landed.
