Parking in Philly?

[disneyagain]

We're flying out of Philly next week (Thurs, April 5th) and I have a ressie for parking at Avistar (north-end) and we were also considering Pacifico Airport Valet.

Anyone with any experiences with either of these?

TIA

We use Pacifico whenever we fly. I like the idea of not having to have our luggage switched from our van to a shuttle, get the kids out, put them into a shuttle, etc. With Pacifico, they drive you to the terminal in your vehicle. Make sure you print the coupon from their website.

I have the coupon. Does it ever reach capacity? It's Holy Thursday, 4:00 flight out. I'm guessing that we should be a Pacifico around 1:30? Or do we need to be earlier?

Thanks!

You could try calling Pacifico and see what they expect crowds to be like that day. They may give you a suggestion on arrival time.

We also use Pacifico on every trip. Haven't been disappointed yet.

I think the suggestion to call them is an excellent idea. We've never had a problem with them reaching capacity, but we haven't flown right before a busy holiday weekend.

I think their website says to get there twenty minutes before you need to be at the terminal, so if you want to get to the terminal 2 hours before your flight time, getting to Pacifico @ 1:30 would work. Have a great trip!!

Thansks for your advice, I think I will give them a call.

It seems like you may have your decision already, but I used Avistar last week(departed 3/19 and returned 3/22), and had no trouble. The shuttle picked us up right at our car in the avistar lot, and assisted with the luggage. On our return we waited no more than 10 minutes after calling from the baggage claim for the shuttle to arrive. I would definately use them again.

Thanks for the reply MMomto5. We used Avistar at Newar Airport last summer and they were fine. I kind of like the idea of not having to go in one of the vans, It got quite crowded on the way back to our car in Newark.
