airport parking
 
I am looking for long-term parking at Orlando; "xpress valet parking" has excellent rates - can anyone recommend them? Can you recommend another outfit?

premier parking usa
 
I used this lot last month. Make a reservation online here:
Premier Parking - Orlando International Airport Parking
and there even was a working discount code for another 10% off their regular low price of 3/day. Parking10
It went smoothly except that the website does not own the lot, they sell the reservation so there is no signage that says Premier Parking. Instead look for EZ Park. Picked me up as I parked the car, and when I called from MCO they were at the cubside in 10 mins.

I parked recently at Xpress Park and had my RayBan sunglasses stolen as well as a change box. ($12-15) for toll. If you park....watch your valuables! My first and only experience was employee theft.

I would find someplace else!

I have had good experience with the airport Marriot. Secure lot, and less than 5 minutes on the free shuttle.

We just used Premier parking this last week. The website looked great, I called the folks and they sounded good. I pre-paid and it was cheap.....$17.65 for 5 days.
When I got there the place looked really sub-standard. The signage did not say Premier Parking, it was basically a grass/dirt lot with snowfence around it.
Tons of cars were there, and it did go well, but I expected a better looking place.

I DID like the fact that you keep your keys. Other better looking places take your keys, so they can move or go through your car when you are not there. I would not use a place that kept your keys.

Neighbors used U-save across the street......that place looked better, but they keep your keys.

it never ceases to amaze me how people will park their $30000 car in an unguarded parking lot to save $5.00 ....i always park in the airport garage safe/close and no worries!

I agree....but as I stated, the Premier website made it look like this option was safe, secure, clean, paved, etc. It was guarded 24/7 and provided shuttle service, so it wasn't THAT bad....just not nearly as nice as the website looked.

I also agree that airport on-site parking is probably the best, but there are many options and some of those options offer safe, secure parking at a lower price then the airport.......the lesson here is that one cannot always trust a website or their customer service.

We use them every time we fly out of Orlando and have had no problems. I read where someone else had a theft problem but we never have. Maybe it's because we don't leave anything of value in the car except our GPS and that's never been touched. I agree, the rates are great, the valet service is nice, and the free bottles of water is appreciated.
