LAX Long Term Parking Suggestions in Southern California http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r22650956 en Sat, 28 Nov 2009 18:38:51 EDT Sat, 28 Nov 2009 18:38:51 EDT Re: LAX Long Term Parking Suggestions http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22821720 cdma : Update:

Just to let everyone know that I ended up using Auto Airport Parking ( »www.autoairport.com ) and I will definitely use them again. They have covered parking and are very close to the airport.

Their whole staff was very friendly and helpful, from the moment I called them the first time to the time they picked us up at LAX. I left my car there for nearly 18 days for a total of $157.00 which is about $9.00/day with valet parking. I had no problems with the car at all, no scratches or any thing.

I would definitely recommend them.

Thanks to everyone for providing their feedback and experiences on this issue.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22821720 Wed, 05 Aug 2009 20:29:00 EDT Re: LAX Long Term Parking Suggestions http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22723082 TheRul :

You must have gotten a deal then. RARELY would any rental car rate be the same renting in one place and returning at the airport as it would be renting at the airport and returning somewhere else, especially a spot so far from the airport.

I've always been satisfied. They are inexpensive and I've never had to wait long for the shuttle. The shuttle drivers were always very helpful with the luggage. My car has always come back in great shape.

On the negative side, they aren't super friendly. They aren't unfriendly, they just don't say that much is all. Its all business. Their website is a little 1997. You have to make sure you make a reservation to park there. Don't just show up and expect a parking spot. I don't mind any of that. I'll continue to use them.

Personally my issue is similar to another poster, I'm not going to take a child seat on a trip where I will never need it and I'm not going to use some funky thing the rental company might or might not have.

Hence I park in Lot C, don't have anything in the car except the car seat and a few flares and never have a problem.

about 160 (2 X about 80) for a car to LAX from Victorville and to Victorville from LAX. Large SUV to carry 5 people and Luggage.

Lot C $11 per day X 9 = $99 X2 for 2 cars to carry everything (we have small cars) = 181.

Not sure if it still happens, but there were groups of thieves that would enter the lots at night and spend several hours there, waiting for landing planes to fly overhead and they would then break in to vehicles and help themselves. No one would hear the glass breaking due to the planes' noise. Alarms always trigger with a lot of noise too, so no one paid any attention to them. If you do park there, always ask one of the "attendants" if they "know" of a good spot (have a $20 ready). They'll always pull their car out of a spot right next to the shuttle bus stop for you.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22719659 Thu, 16 Jul 2009 18:21:27 EDT Re: LAX Long Term Parking Suggestions http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22719655 No_Strings : They are suspect, though, until deemed worthy.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22719655 Thu, 16 Jul 2009 18:20:30 EDT Re: LAX Long Term Parking Suggestions http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22719534 CurtesyFlush : Nope, only that one guy, HardwareGeek.

Don't park. Rent a car. Drop it off. Much cheeper and you can get a large SUV for your luggage. Did that last year, and was happy I did.
Not from San Diego I don't think, but it would be cool if you provided the math on that. It might be close. (Enterprise rent a car would pick him up from his house during normal hours right?)

Certainly not the most convenient, but they have good rates. »www.airport-la.com/parking/lot.php?id=7]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22719314 Thu, 16 Jul 2009 17:09:02 EDT Re: LAX Long Term Parking Suggestions http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22719224 anon : Even after reading many of the posts, I could not determine if there was a clear 'best' place to park, so I called around to Park 'n Fly, The Spot, WallyPark, and a few others. After the phone conversations, reading the reviews, and getting quotes, for my trip last week - I chose Park 'n Fly @ Park One. It started well - easy to find, shuttle picked me up, etc...HOWEVER, upon returning, my experience went from good to absolute frustration!

When I got to the cashier, contrary to what I was told on the phone (using their 800 #), I could not combine the only coupon currently offered (FREE Day with Minimum 3 Day Stay) with the rate they quoted me at - even though I had print outs for the rate, the coupons, etc....!

I returned from the cashier and went across the lot to the managers office and met Andy Tran (the manager on duty). He not only treated me poorly but seemed to prefer to lose a regular traveler than offer any type of assistance. He wouldn't even admit that in the history of offering parking service at Park n Fly that the firm/employees had ever once made an honest mistake, misstated a quote, or honestly provided an incorrect statement based on confusion. It was unconscionable - he offered nothing. From his point of view - it was my fault and my fault alone and he wasn't going to budge/let alone admit that Park n Fly would ever make that mistake. It was disgusting.

In summary - I paid the $35 or so dollars more and they lost a potentially loyal customer and one who isn't afraid to speak out.

Going forward - I'll try the spot, but never again will I trust Park n Fly. Disgraceful.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22719224 Thu, 16 Jul 2009 16:57:17 EDT Re: LAX Long Term Parking Suggestions http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22652815 HappyBunny : I used them once, when I had a crappy car.

Or if you want a bit of an adventure, take the train to Union Station and then take the LAX Flyaway bus for $6 per person. You can park at the Flyaway bus station for $6 per day and it's underground and guarded.

My car was damaged when I parked there last Christmas and they did not give a shit. Someone grabbed my little chrome antenna and snapped it off. Their workers park the car and bring it to you when you return, so it was not just someone who parked nearby. Either they dont patrol the lot at all or their workers enjoy breaking stuff. Their shuttles were also slow. Anyway, they just gave me a lot of attitude and wouldnt pay for the repair.

I like the Hilton on Century. It might not be the cheapest place (it isnt) but I have used it many times and never had a problem. They have a lot of shuttles and good service.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22651862 Fri, 03 Jul 2009 21:21:29 EDT Re: LAX Long Term Parking Suggestions http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22651860 cdma : Thank you everyone for the info, it is appreciated.
