Recommendation needed regarding best parking @ Bradley airport (Hartford, CT)

[Blanche_Neige]

Lost the thread ans cannot find it in the search option so I am asking again.

We will be flying out of Hartford, CT for the first time this coming Oct and would like to know where you recommend us to park.

Our flight is Saturday 4pm Oct 9 (Columbus weekend/Canadian Thanksgiving), we will be leaving Montreal around 7am.

Which parking do you suggest and what time should we arrive at?

I always use Executive Parking on Route 75. They are about a 5 minute shuttle away but it's worth it. They are probably going to be the least expensive option. I use them all the time and they are friendly and prompt. I never had a problem with them.

The most expensive but closest is Roncari. Again, I have used this company and they are very good. You are looking at about a 2 minute ride or so to the airport.

Last option is to park at the garage (but it's crazy expensive).

Bradley is a smaller airport. Going through security takes the longest out of everything. If your flight is at 4pm, I would suggest at least a 90 minute check in. It's generally quieter in the afternoon but you never know.

Have a great flight!

We use Roncari. They are the closest to the airport. There is also Galaxy Self Park right next to them. If you are a member of AAA Roncari gives a 30%discount. We have used some of the others on Rt. 75 but love Roncari and have used them for years now.

I don't fly out of Bradley as much as I used to, and I always used Galaxy, located between Roncari and the Tele-Track. Never had a problem and 5 min to terminals.

TY

Do you need to reserve in advance or can you just show up?

is there a long wait for the shuttle?

 

[Eponine1]

Reservations are generally not necessary. Just show up.

They run the shuttles as the people fill up the buses. Usually they don't even wait for a full bus.

These companies are opened 24/7.

In the past when we flew out of Bradley we used the Bradley airport parking lots. The 'economy' lots were the cheapest (lots 4 and 5), but last time we used Executive Valet Parking. I found that with my AAA membership I could buy a voucher for a week of parking for $26.95 (reg. $32.95). After taxes it came out to about $4 a day. I see you're in Canada, so I don't know if the Canadian version of AAA would honor those prices if you're a member. It might be worth your while to check out their website for prices even if you can't get the discount.

Executive Valet is off the airport property, but their shuttle only took 5 minutes to get to the terminal. Their vans were new and clean and were right there to take us to and from the terminal. I wouldn't hesitate to use them again.

We used Galaxy self-park in April and had no problems. Quick shuttle to the airport.

I will cast my vote for executive. I have been using them for both disney and business trips since 2002 and they are great.

In your case, the AAA discount should work well.

We have always used Roncari. Love it.... 60 days to go and we will be there parking the car and heading to our favorite place....

Roncari for us too. We do not reserve in advance, we just show up. Also, their website has 15% coupon (in case you are not AAA).

We used the lot right next to the Garage for $8 a day with a coupon on Bradleys sight for a free day. We just walked our bags right across to the terminal no need to wait for a shuttle.

We always use the self-park at LazFly (used to be Piccolo's then changed to Fast Track, now LazFly) they also have a valet parking lot across the street. Have used them about 10 times and shuttle is always waiting to take us to airport and never a long wait to take us back. There is usually a coupon online - I think we pay about $4.99/day for self park.
