Parking at Buffalo Airport???????

[SandraC]

Hi All ~ How does parking at Buffalo Airport work?

Do I make reservations?

Do I pre-pay & make make reservations?

Do we just drive there, pick a spot and pay when we leave?

THANKS! Sandra

Hi Sandra,
You just drive there, pick a spot and pay at the end of your vacation. Try this link for information on the different lots. We have used the 'preferred long-term' parking as well as 'long term A' parking. Both worked out well. You can print a discount coupon to save a bit of money. http://www.buffaloairport.com/airport_info/parking_availability.phtml

Hope this helps.

Hey there, just another tidbit we tried the second time we went...the shuttle buses that pick you up in the parking lot and take you to the terminal are great, but can sometimes be crowded and the luggage storage area on the bus is small (It's like one of those baby school buses). When it was just the 2 of us it was fine, but travelling with Connor and all his requirements (stroller, car seat) and all the luggage, I found it easier to drive up to the terminal, stop and drop off all the luggage and dh and Connor, then I drove back around (it's a huge oval basically) and parked the car and took the shuttle by myself. Much quicker and less hectic than trying to lug all the luggage and toddler onto the little bus. I also save tipping the driver because I don't have any luggage for him to help with.

Same thing when we returned, once we got all our luggage together, I took the shuttle back to the parking lot, got the car, paid the bill and then drove back up to the terminal and got everybody. The driver will give you a card when you first park your car with your location noted on it. Keep that handy but also try to remember where you parked in that section. We have found that when you come back the drivers will often take you right to your car if you remember where you are in the section. They are really nice.

Have fun! And I'll see you tomorrow at Square One!!
