U.S. AIRPORT PARKING RATES, ALL IN ONE PLACE

You need to park your car and you're crunched for time. You're not in a position to comparison shop parking rates. Thankfully BestParking has already crunched the numbers for you and can help you find the best rate.

How much can you save by comparison shopping? In our tests there was a surprising disparity between the highest priced and lowest priced parking area. In the screenshot above, for example, we searched for parking around Detroit Metro. Among the airport parking garages there was an almost 100% difference between the highest price and the lowest price for parking.

That kind of price gap isn't a big deal if you're only parking for a single day and are willing to pay a little surcharge for convenience but if you're plunking your car in long term parking for a week you could save yourself some serious cash by picking the right lot.

If you didn't plot out which parking garage to use ahead of time, fire up the browser on your mobile phone and head to the mobile version of BestParking to get a last minute rate check. Have a trick or two for scoring cheap parking while traveling? Share them in the comments.
