PHL Park & Fly recommendations

[Letsbgoofy]

Flying out of the PHL airport at 7:00am. We usually spend the night and do Park, Sleep and fly, but with such an early flight it's just easier (and less expensive) to drive down that night and use a Park and Fly. There are so many choices online, and I have no idea what companies are good. I would appreciate any first hand advice.

We've used Winner Airport Parking in the past. The accept competitor's coupons, and have a frequent parking program.

My only complaint about Winner is that I have a stickshift, and a lot of the driver's there aren't skilled with standard transmission. Winner actually takes you to the airport and picks you up in your own car.

But we just got an Entertainment book, and there's a coupon for Fasttrack (formerly Avistar) in the book, so we're going to try them next time around. They're on the same street as Winner.

We've used Pacifico Valet a bunch of times, and they've always been good.

I've used ExpressPark. $7.95 per day, and their shuttle takes you from your parking spot right to the airport, and as soon as you land and have your luggage, you call an 800 number and they pick you up and drop you right off at your car.

There's also the economy lot, $9.00 per day....which is right on site at the airport, and they have buses that run continuously.

Same here. We've used Pacifico many times and have always been pleased.

We booked the Renaissance through www.buyreservations.com. The hotel offers free shuttle service 24/7 to PHL and free parking for up to 10 or 14 days. THere is a great indoor pool and hot tub also. I believe the fee was 120.00 for the night.

Winner picked me up tonight, over a dozen positive trips in the last 1.5 to 2 years .

I'm a little weird about someone else driving my car. How far is the Winner lot from the airport? Do those of you that use Winner pay the fee to be able to leave right from the airport - and if so, what's the procedure?

I'm going to visit all these sites - thanks for your help all!

The fee to leave right from the airport (with Winner) is $10.00. It probably takes about 7 minutes to get from Winner to your terminal at the airport.

I do and quite honest, that is the reason we use them. By the time we get our luggage after the flight and vacation, we are done! We just want to head home! Especially if your flight is delayed or what not. They have always been great. You call when you get your luggage, tell them what claim area you are in and they head over. Someone from Winner picks up the driver. Its wonderful!

We use Colonial Parking - they're great! And they have a shuttle too.

I have used Winner 4 times in the past year. They are great. I was leary too about someone driving my car, but the actually photograph your car before they leave the lot. I guess for their protection and yours. It was great returning from Florida in December and getting in a warm car.

You pay the extra $10 for the leave from airport service when you drop your car off. My van was at the airport in less than 10 minutes from when I called to say I was ready.

Twice in the last 2 years we stayed at the Ramada the night before, they provided up to 14 days of secure, fenced parking, shuttled us to and from PHL. We were very satisfied both times. When it was just the 2 of us with 10 days of parking we paid $117 total, this was in March 2006. In Oct of 2007 we were a party of 4 adults with 7 days of parking and we paid $150 or so. Between our 2006 and 2007 stays the Ramada has done some refurb. work. We'll probably do this every time we fly early out of PHL.

I just flew a couple days ago and this is what I used. They were great. I parked my own car (they have indoor and outdoor parking), a shuttle picked me up within minutes and took me to the gate. When I came back it took about 2 minutes for the shuttle to come to the gate and drive me back to the lot. It's only like $8/day and you can print a coupon online for $1.50 off each day. Very convenient, safe, reliable, and hassle free. PM me if you need more info.

We have a reservation at The Holiday Inn for $134/night plus tax. We used them before for the parking and it was great. The problem is that we will be coming to Philly late, and the shuttle from the hotel will want to leave around 3:30am. I would rather just drive down and save the extra money that the hotel would cost since we aren't going to gt much sleep either way!

Thank you all for your responses
