Getting on for three years ago I was due to fly out from Valencia and was looking for alternative parking around Manises because of the high parking fees charged by AENA. I spent a fair bit of time searching the Internet and looking in forums etc, but found nothing. So in the end I did park at the airport and it cost me around 120 euros for the 10 days. I don’t know how they can justify such charges as there are no facilities to speak of, the car is out in the open and you are still a fair walk away from the terminal. When I returned to my car it was covered in red saharan sand.
Since then I have made a point of using Reus Airport, where at first the parking was free but they have stated charging there since a proper covered car park was created. I have discovered recently that there is now some alternative car parking for Valencia Airport. Victoria Rent a Car offer parking http://www.victoria-parking.com/car-parking-valencia-airport/parking-valencia-airport.html and only this week Lavacolla, that started out in Santiago, have opened a branch in Valencia http://www.lavacolla.com/index.php The cost of parking for a week on the offical AENA car park works out around 76 euros whearas offsite the cost could be as low as 43 euros. I am due to fly out from Valencia in the near future and think I will be trying out this new service.
Another day in paradise
