Discount Park and Ride Drives Toward Expansion and Consumer Education

TAMPA, Fla., March 11, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- The airport parking industry is one that has undergone some major changes in recent years, with more and more people opting to park at off-airport facilities while they travel. However, this can be difficult to execute for many folks; they struggle to find the location, price and services that work best for them and their travel plans. While some markets have been aware of off-airport parking for quite some time, other markets are just learning about the option.

That's where Discount Park and Ride comes in. Founded in 2013, they handpick and vet every facility that they work with, providing a number of options to choose from in terms of airport parking. Potential parkers are then able to comparison shop, narrowing down their search based on the features that are most important to them.

According to Alex Miningham, President and Founder of Discount Park and Ride, they go through this process for the benefit of their users. "We've been able to tailor our partner network to include only the most reputable and trustworthy facilities across the country in order to ensure the best possible customer experience," he said.

Discount Park and Ride is now expanding their offerings, though maintaining the integrity they know their customers rely on. They're looking to work with more high quality brands people know and love, while continuing their partnership with their current parking options. U-Save JFK, one of their most prestigious parking partners, said, "We are busy and fully booked all the time." While their largest markets, San Francisco (SFO), Boston (BOS), and Orlando (MCO) continue to flourish, they're expanding further into Philadelphia (PHL), Pittsburgh (PIT), and Phoenix (PHX) every day. Simultaneously, they're continuing their efforts of expanding to offsite parking lots throughout the nation.

Discount Park and Ride's partners have benefited from this expansion because customers trust in their integrity. Benjamin Green, who manages operations at QuikPark at Aloft SFO in Millbrae, CA, said his company has "seen consistent online business from [Discount Park and Ride]" that has led to "over $70k in revenue generated in 10 months."

Additionally, Discount Park and Ride is increasing their attempts to educate consumers about the options for airport parking. People are no longer forced to deal with the poor parking situations that airports often offer; there are an increasing number of options to reserve parking ahead of time. By teaching people about these options now, they'll be more prepared for when they travel.

In the way that the airline and car rental industries have changed over the last decade, Miningham sees "the off-airport parking industry consolidating even further." People are increasingly demanding the ability to view all of their options and compare among them to ensure that they are getting the parking space that fits their needs.
