PHL's cheapest parking option (through the airport itself) has increased to $11/day. I've seen ads and websites for other parking lots and shuttle service close to the airport for $7-9/day, but not run through PHL. Has anyone used any of these and do you recommend any particular one? It could be a significant savings for us since we'll be parked 10 days (or 11 since we come home later than we'll arrive the first day) but I wasn't sure if anyone has had any problems at any of the locations. Thanks!
 
There are lots of options near PHL. A few I can think of ---- (I work near the airport.)

- Winner
- Pacifico
- Wally Park (the closest lot to PHL; right "next door")
- AvisStar/Fast Track
- Colonial Parking
- Smart Park

We've used Smart Park with great success. It is located on one of the airport's access roads. AvisStar/Fast Track and Colonial Parking are across the street from one another on Route 291, about 2 miles from PHL. I have no experience with Winner or Pacifico, but I'm sure others can comment.
 
I am looking for one as well. I can say that we used Winner in the past and we had a negative experience with them. There are some who will tell you they have had no problems with them and others that have had similar troubles as me. So, speaking for myself, I will never use them again.
 

I've used SmartPark for the 5 or 6 times I've flown from PHL and have always had positive experiences - very short wait and very convenient. I think I've found coupons on local travel websites as well.
 
Don't know which way you head to the airport, but, if it's 476S to 95N, Colonial Airport Park is a very quick easy off exit at Essington (don't remember the exit number, but, I believe the route is 412S). Exit south on 412 from 95N to the first traffic light (very short distance) make a left onto Industrial HIghway ....Colonial is on the right approximately a mile. We've been using them for about five years .....several times a year. They always have a coupon for $1.00 per day discount on their website. I think the current price (with coupon, including taxes) is about $8.00 per day. Secure lot, well lit, open 24 hours a day. The shuttle runs continuously thru the lot and picks up/drops off right at your car.
Usually by the time we have our bags unloaded from the trunk the shuttle is there waiting for us. On your return to the airport simply call their toll free number (remember to either take the phone number with you or pick up one of their business cards on the shuttle and write which section you're parked).
The longest we've waited at bag claim to be picked up was about 10 minutes.
I know others have used valet services for their car, but, I just don't feel comfortable with that. It's one thing to park your car in a secure lot for a week.....another to have a valet service drop you off in your vehicle and have your car and keys for the week.
