Is it necessary to book a reservation prior to arriving to the parking lot? 
We will definitely recommend that you pre book your parking reservation prior to arriving to the parking location so that you can have a guaranteed parking reservation and so you can get the discounted parking rate. If you drive to the location without a reservation, we cannot guarantee that you will get the same discounted rate most parking locations have a more expensive parking rate onsite. Some hotels will not allow you to just park if you don't have a prepaid reservation.

What is an "Airport Tax"? 
Certain airports/port authorities have levied a tax on parking related transactions at hotels and parking lots in their vicinity. In such cases we are required by local laws to collect this "airport tax" and forward it to our client parking lot for payment to the airport/parking operator. If your destination is affected by such a tax, you will see a line in your reservation total labelled "Airport Tax"; if this line is not present in your reservation total then your destination does not levy a charge of this sort. 

Do I have to book a room to use a hotel's parking lot? 
No, you do not have to purchase a room at the hotel to use their parking facilities. Your Book2Park.com purchase covers the cost of parking and transit to/from the airport. 

What Drop Off & Pick Up Dates Should I Enter When Booking A Reservation? 
You should enter the same dates of your flight. 

How much time should I add to my departure time for arriving at the parking lot? 
Please allow extra time for check-in at the airport especially with the TSA regulations. Depending on your departure airport, the time of your flight, and day of the week, the time varies from 1 1/2 to 2 hours for domestic flights and 2 to 3 hours for international flights to check in at the terminal. We advise to check with your departure airport or your travel agent for more specific information. You should plan to be at the parking lot 15 to 20 minutes prior to the time you want to be at the airport. Make sure you read the shuttle hours of operations for the parking lot you have selected; some of the parking lots run their shuttle every hour on the hour or every 30 minutes on the 30 minutes. 

How much time should I allow for parking my car and getting to my terminal? 
All of our parking facilities are in close proximity to the airport entrance. Unless otherwise stated on your on-screen or email confirmation, please arrive 15-20 minutes before the time you want to arrive at the airport terminal. For your time back to the parking lot, allow 15-30 minutes to get your baggage and ride the shuttle back to the parking lot from the time your flight lands. For international flights, add 1 hour for customs. 

Can I make a reservation for someone else? 
Yes, you can enter a different driver's name on the checkout. Be sure the driver has a copy of the Reservation Receipt, which must be presented to the cashier at the lot. Some of our parking partners require a printed receipt, while others accept an electronic copy from a mobile device. The Reservation Receipt will indicate whether a printed copy is required or if an electronic version of the receipt is acceptable. 

Do you have coupon codes and how do they work? 
We do offer discount codes on our Daily Deals tab located at the bottom of our site but we also offer better deals if you follow us on social media and if you subscribe to receive our promotional emails. If you do have a discount code, you will need to apply the discount code on the checkout page. Please note, all discount codes can only be use on new reservations. They cannot be applied to any existing reservations.

If you can't use any of those options, you can call us and we will contact the lot to inform them that you won't be able to present your confirmation receipt. In this case you will need to present your ID at the front desk for them to allow you to park. 

There's no Print button on the receipt page. How can I print a copy? 
To print a copy of your Reservation Receipt from your screen, you can use Control-P (for PC) or Command-P (for Mac) to access the print window. Depending on which browser you are using, you should also be able to print a copy of the receipt by using the FILE or TOOLS option in the menu bar. In addition, you should receive a copy of the receipt at the email address you provided during the reservation process.
Where is the parking lot located? 
Most of our parking lots are within 1 to 5 miles from your destination airport. Distance is stated on each lot details section. In that section, you will also be able to see a Google map that will allow you to see the distance to the airport. Once you have made a reservation the address of the location will be sent to you and their phone number will be listed in order for you to contact them if you need further assistance. 

Hours of Operation
Most of our parking lots are open 24 hrs. a day 7 days a week unless otherwise noted on the facility details section. 

How often does the shuttle run? 
Shuttle hours and frequency vary by location. Some shuttles run 24 hours a day at specific intervals, while others may have more limited hours of operation. Please check the information displayed on each lot's page for additional details. If you have additional questions about shuttle frequency for a particular lot, please feel free to contact us or contact the parking lot at the number provided on your confirmation receipt. 

How do I get to the airport once I've parked? 
All our Parking Partners provide free transportation between the parking lot and airport or seaport via shuttle. Typically, you should allow at least 20-30 minutes to check in at the lot, park, and take the shuttle to your terminal. Be sure to confirm the shuttle frequency ahead of time, since some locations have limited hours of operation. 

How do I get back to the parking lot when I return? 
Your Reservation Receipt will include specific instructions for the lot you selected. Depending on which airport and lot you are using, you may need to:
- Wait in the designated area at the airport for the next regularly scheduled shuttle pickup,
- Use the courtesy phones in the baggage area to contact the lot for pickup, or
- Use your phone to call the number on your claim check to request pickup.
Please be sure to read all available information about the parking lot before making your reservation, since there are some lots that do not have shuttles and/or have alternative arrangements. If you have additional questions, you can also ask the lot attendant when you drop off your car regarding their return procedures. 

What do I do when I return from my trip? 
The process for retrieving your car varies by location. Typically, you will call the parking lot after retrieving your luggage. They will advise you of the shuttle pickup location and approximate wait time. Be sure to present a copy of your Reservation Receipt to the cashier at the time of payment. Some lots may have more specific procedures for checking out; please refer to your Reservation Receipt for more information.

You may need to present the Reservation Receipt when you arrive at the lot and again when you return from your trip.

Is my car safe at your parking lot? 
The parking lots are usually fenced, fully lit, and secure. At most parking locations, the lots are open 24 hours a day. As with any parking lot, the parking operator is not responsible for any valuables that are left in your vehicle. Book2Park.com connects travelers in search of airport parking with off-airport parking lot operators. Book2Park.com is not involved in the actual transaction between you "the traveler" and the parking lot operator ("Partner"). You assume all risks through business conducted with our Partners as well any other third-party with whom you come in contact through this web site.

If you have additional questions regarding your specific vehicle, you may wish to contact the lot directly prior to your arrival. The lot's telephone number will be provided on your Reservation Receipt. 

We are a large group of people traveling together with a lot of luggage. Will that be a problem? 
In most instances, the parking lot will provide shuttle transportation for your entire party. However, if you have a large group or a lot of luggage, the lot may not be able to accommodate everyone at once. You may wish to consider dropping off some of the passengers (and/or luggage) at the airport before parking your vehicle. Review the information listed on our website for that location as some partners may charge a fee for more than 4 passengers. If you have additional questions regarding shuttle service, you may wish to contact the lot directly prior to your arrival. The lot's telephone number will be provided on your Reservation Receipt. 

Can I bring my pet on the shuttle? 
We will recommend for you to contact the parking location prior to booking as they each have different pet policies. The lot's phone number will be provided on your Reservation Receipt. 

Does the shuttle have child car seats? 
Typically, shuttle transportation falls under the same category as buses, so car seats are not required or provided. However, you can usually use your own car seat, if you wish. For additional assistance, you may want to contact the parking lot directly prior to your arrival. The lot's phone number will be listed on your Reservation Receipt. 

How do I contact the parking location directly? 
The parking lot's phone number and address will be on your Reservation Receipt, which you'll receive via email once you've made your reservation. 

My car was damaged at the parking lot. What should I do? 
Although, this scenario is very unlikely if a vehicle is damaged while parked, the best thing to do is to contact the parking lot's management as soon as you notice the damage, preferably before leaving the lot and then file a police report. Book2park.com does not own or operate the parking lots listed on our site, so we are unable to address damage claims.

What if I am parked longer than my Reservation indicates, due to flight delays or other schedule changes? 
The reservation itself cannot be changed once it has been submitted. The rate on your Reservation Receipt is guaranteed; however, parking longer than indicated may result in additional charges, payable directly to the parking lot. Please be aware that a shorter parking time than indicated on your reservation receipt will not result in a refund. 

My car is already parked and I need to come back earlier. Do I get a refund? 
If you only paid a Deposit to secure the reservation and your return date or time has changed, the balance due will be determined by individual parking lot policy. In many cases, the remaining balance will be calculated when you return, based on the actual length of your stay. However, some parking lots collect the balance at the beginning of your stay and will not provide a refund if your return is earlier than expected. If your reservation was prepaid in full, the price of the reservation was calculated based on the information you entered when booking. Unfortunately, we are not able to offer any refund for an early return.
How is the total calculated? 
The total displayed on the checkout page is based on the dates and times you entered. Lots calculate their rate in 24-hour increments, starting at the time your car enters the lot. Other lots calculate their rate by calendar day, which means that each individual date your car is parked will be counted as a full day. Any applicable taxes and fees will be included in the total. While we do our best to provide an accurate tax estimate, the actual total may vary slightly based on changes made locally and will be calculated at the parking lot. Please remember that the total shown on your receipt is based on the information you entered. Any change to your itinerary may affect the final balance. 

Are there any hidden fees? 
We list all charges clearly on the checkout page and Reservation Receipt so you'll know what to expect. However, there are a few factors that can cause these amounts to change.
- If a schedule change results in your being parked longer than indicated on your reservation, you will be charged the difference by the lot upon departure.
- You must show your reservation receipt to the lot's cashier to receive credit for your online payment. Failure to do so will not result in a refund, and you may be billed at a higher rate.
- We do our best to provide an accurate estimate of any taxes, fees, or surcharges imposed by the parking authority, but these may vary slightly based on changes made locally and will be calculated at the parking lot.
Book2park.com may also charge a Transaction Fee, which enables us to bring you the convenience of choosing the best parking option at the most discounted rates with the help of a great customer support. 

Why can't I pay the whole amount ahead of time? 
While some of our Parking Partners allow customers to pay the full cost of the reservation in advance, many prefer to have customers prepay only a portion of the total and then pay the remaining balance directly to the lot. The checkout page will reflect which option is offered for the lot you selected.
