Park Mark Safer Parking Award – Why It’s So Important
Millions of air travellers rely on airport parking each year – and the insatiable demand for space makes it an attractive target for unscrupulous ‘operators’ looking to earn easy cash – at your expense. This is why the Park Mark Safer Parking Award is such a vital tool.
It’s easy for rogues to hide behind smart-looking websites, but creating the physical infrastructure required for a legitimate, security-protected car park isn’t so simple. In fact, many such meet and greet ‘providers’ settle for street parking or unguarded public car parks.
As a Police Crime Prevention Initiative, the Park Mark Safer Parking Award is intended to help cut crime and the fear of crime in car parks across the UK. The scheme also covers facilities at Manchester Airport.
Take a look at the Manchester parking services we offer – such as APH Car Park Park & Ride – and you’ll see all are recipients of the Park Mark Safer Parking Award.
The Safer Parking Award is only bestowed on car parks that meet or go beyond the requirements of a risk assessment set by the police. Keeping safe is easy when you book with APH.

From how much change you’ll need for baggage trolleys, to searching out the best restaurants for a pre-flight pit-stop we’ve got the details you need.

Book early to save on your Manchester Airport car parking
The cost of parking at Manchester Airport is not set across the year! Peak season sees demand rise and the same will inevitably happen to prices! However, there are plenty of other factors that influence what you’ll pay – and APH can help savvy travellers gain significant savings.
Here at APH, our priority is to ensure you get the best airport car parking at the best prices! That’s why we’re happy to share our ‘market intelligence’ to help you secure potentially huge savings on the cost of parking for your trip.
Crunching the figures, it’s clear to see that booking early can cut significant amounts of cash from your parking bill. If your travel plans are set early and unlikely to change, reserving on-airport, park and ride or meet and greet parking right away could prove a smart move.
Using our data, you can see that booking six months ahead of departure day could potentially cut a jaw-dropping 60 per cent from the purchase price compared with making the same reservation a week before you’re due to fly from Manchester Airport.
Putting this cash terms, an average week’s parking could cost around £77 when booked a week before you leave, whereas securing the same space six months earlier could reward you with a bill of around £29. So, if a saving in the region of £48 is tempting – you know what to do.

Getting to the terminal on time can result in a stressful departure day – with this a particular problem for travellers departing on early morning flights from Manchester Airport.
With this busy international airport fed by some of the most congested motorway sections in the UK, it’s all too easy to suffer the effects of rush-hour delays or unexpected road closures.
There is an alternative, though, with many savvy travellers choosing to cheat the jams by arriving the day before their flight and pairing airport parking with a night in a nearby hotel.
Swap early morning alarms and rush-hour snarl-ups on nearby motorways for a relaxed night’s sleep and leisurely breakfast before taking a short transfer to the nearby terminal or car park.
Booking a hotel and parking package isn’t just a pricey perk for folk with cash to spare, though. Check-in at the Britannia Airport Hotel packaged with APH park and ride, and you’ll pay just a few pounds more than parking alone.
