Save 20% on season ticket parking with Park Let

8th April 2009 Print
By shopping around for their season parking ticket, motorists are saving an average of 20 per cent with Park Let, the UK’s largest parking space letting agent. To help motorists compare prices within a particular area or postcode, the company has just launched the UK’s first real-time interactive parking space tool at parklet.co.uk/parking-rental-price-guide.aspx. The tool is free to use and is based on both current contracts and over 17,000 advertised spaces across larger car park operators, county council car parks, businesses with spaces to let and individuals with idle driveways and garages.

Luke Kelly, managing director, Park Let commented: “We have created the first real marketplace for parking spaces to help motorists compare prices, just like they would for any other product or service. Most people are very comfortable with switching their car insurance provider if they can get a better deal. However, switching to a more affordable season ticket is less familiar territory yet it is not as complicated and can result in similar savings.”

Park Let also advises motorists to consider whether they need to rent their parking space for a full calendar week or just a five day working week as the latter can also save them even more money. Both are available via the company.

Park Let’s new parking space price-guide tool gives car owners three separate prices (low, medium and high) in each area or postcode, dependent on factors such as proximity to facilities or congestion zones. The company also provides details of which security measures are in place including key-pad entry, patrols, CCTV and electronic gates. Often the cheapest parking spaces are on an individual’s property where there is less security but equally less chance of the car being damaged by other motorists.

Kelly added: “The most popular searches on our site are in city centres and near railway stations but that shouldn’t put all season tickets holders off from shopping around as new parking spaces are being added all the time. We also organise rental contracts in areas where there is mainly on-road parking, near busy hospitals, schools and leisure attractions.”
