Manchester Airport Parking
I tend to fly out of Manchester Airport these days and stay in the short stay parking at Terminal 3 or the short stay at Terminal 1, it’s Like £25 a day but at least my car is undercover and In a secure part of the airport…
well I parked in the short stay carpark on the 20th of last month, I was only away 1 night and when I came back one of the supporting box sections had rusted through and dropped a 1 foot lump of metal and crap on my BMW..

http://www.phototiki.com/So the more expensive parking is not only safer due to vandalism, but safer because parts of the building won’t fall on your car.
I guess airports worldwide are equally bad these days.

http://www.esrun.co.ukDamn that sucks real bad. I get paranoid about something walking past my car and check for any scratches. To come back to that on what is also a brand new car would drive me crazy. Would suck if you have to claim on your insurance rather than the parking place paying the costs.

http://www.webdistortion.comDid you have to fork out? Or did they hit you with the old “Visitors park at their own risk?”. For £25 a day, I’d be kicking off a proper fuss.

http://blog.pushon.co.ukIt’s a BMW. A ton of crap falling on it can only help.

http://www.mubinahmed.comThats a biatch, but looks more like crap rather than metal, so it looks like most of it will clean off, and you should be alrite.

http://www.homeandgardengifts.co.ukI am sure it will be expensive to fix, so I hope the airport does pay up I had a very small bump and BMW charged £2,500 to fix it, it was a good job I was sat down even though I was not paying

Ok the car is been repaired today, and the claim is in the hands on the insurance company. So this will be the acid test i guess on how good my insurance company is.

Mind if I either link to this page or take some of the comments off it. I run a small airport parking comparison site called http://www.compare-airport-parking.co.uk.
Its nice to see some photographic evidence of problems as I always feel car parks should be seen in both good and bad views to let customers see for themselves and make an informed decision with that information.
Can you let me know, i’ve attached my email. £25 for a single day, I could have found a cheaper site for you.

http://www.mavp.co.ukDid the airport pay up? Like a few others, I’d like to mention my business which is based next to Terminal 2, offers valet parking so no bus journeys, and is fully insured.

http://www.flypark.co.ukThats a bit of bad luck and a case of being in the wrong place at the wrong time, I would have thought you would have been paid for the damage though. My site http://www.flypark.co.uk which also provides airport parking to all uk airports could park you in the same car park for around £8 per day

http://www.airportparkingcompared.comThat’s the kind of thing I would expect to see happen in China. I really hope our country isn’t going down the cheap and cheerful way of building and producing things!

http://www.1stairportparking.co.ukI’m amazed that the on airport car parking at Manchester is in such a state. This is a council owned airport (via MAG), that should have the funds to keep its infrastructure up to date. Good job the lighting was good and you saw it before you move the car. Otherwise you would have been told ‘not me guvnor’ !
The moral of the story as far as the £25 you paid, as a couple of people have mentioned above, is to compare prices when you book (at http://www.1stairportparking.co.uk !). You might also want to ensure that you look up before you decide an airport parking space is right for you.
