BEFORE YOU BOOK
Choose for your actual trip, not just the headline price
Valet reduces steps
It can reduce the time between reaching the airport and entering the terminal, but the meeting point and custody conditions need to be very clear.
Shuttle means you park yourself
You leave the car at the operator’s facility and retain a clear physical parking location, in exchange for adding a transfer to the terminal.
Compare the whole journey
Price, terminal, time, keys, cancellation, opening hours and delays should be assessed together. No one service type is best for every trip.
