Best parking options at BDL?

Submitted by austinin4 t3_11cdsyi in Connecticut

I have a flight Tues morning from BDL. Was going to Uber, but because of storm thinking I may need to drive myself. For those that know, which lots/services are safest? I’ve heard there has been a lot of catalytic converter theft lately. Thanks!

Same. Easy, safe, and quick, in my experience. If you count when Galaxy owned that lot, I've had a total of 45-50 total weeks of parking there without issue.

Yup. Same. Have used them many times; safe and super quick.

Park in lot 2. $60/wk. Walk to the elevator.

I always park on site. The lots are $7-$10/day, and have weekly discounts.

You can get as low as $5/day offsite.

I agree with this. Never saw a reason to use any of the the companies. Free shuttle that's well organized, prompt and picks you up and drops you off at your car. The drivers I've had are always friendly and help with luggage.

I parked on site and came back to a messed up car, that is also when I found out they do not have cameras and they are not liable either.

I've always used Executive Park and Fly. Secure lot, they'll handle the luggage, drop you off and pick you up in front of your terminal and even detail/was/wax your car for a decent price. Plus when you get back your car is all warmed up and waiting for you.

I parked at lot 4 and the shuttle was already there, even picked me up at my car which was down a ways into an aisle. Drop off was nice too, dropped me off right at my car so I didn’t have to walk in the cold.

Parking Spot. Book online. They have covered parking so you don't have to dig your car out of snow. It will be ready for you when the shuttle arrives back to the lot. Maybe a 2 min drive to/from the terminals.

Lot 3,$8 a day and some of the fastest and most professional shuttle drivers. Be sure to have a few singles to tip as they always grab bags to load, etc.

For early morning flights with snow predicted, I've occasionally done "park, sleep, fly" where you spend the night at a nearby hotel and park free for a week. But I'm far enough away (and hate driving in the snow at 4 in the morning) that it makes a difference. Ymmv

I always use the parking spot. Check with your friends and family members to see if anyone can get you a corporate discount. I believe they take AAA too. When I park there it comes out to $4.60 a day. Their shuttle service is continuous and I've never had an issue with it.

The easiest thing to do is just park in the structure directly across from the terminal. It's a little more expensive but it's covered and it's so quick to get to once you get home from your flight, It's worth the extra expense.

Lot 1 or 2 for sure both are walkable to the airport vs shuttling from 3.

I do LAZ valet. When you get back, your car will have the snow cleaned off and will be warmed up and ready to drive off. After a long flight, I just want to get in my car and go.

Been using Z for years. Well lit, 24 hr surveillance, door to terminal, reasonable pricing, extra services if needed, online discounts. https://www.zairportparking.com/discounts/ Never had an issue.

I’ve always used Z and I love it. So easy and car is warm (or cool) when you get back. Especially if you’re coming from the western part of the state is the best one.

As others said, lots 1 and 2 are good choices and a very short walk away.

I fly out of brandley specifically because on site parking is so cheap

If you know any national guard or air national guard members ask them if you can park on base and get a ride to the airport

Reserve online at the parking spot. Do self parking, the valet is dumb.

LazFly is pretty easy, 5-6 dollars. Shuttle is like 1 minute from across the street to the airport.
