| - Until my vacation earlier this month, I hadn't flown in years. After (most of) the stress of planning ten days away had passed, I moved on to researching my parking options. I found that off-site parking lots were not much cheaper than the long-term parking directly at the airport. I debated, thinking that if I went off-site that would at least mean I was guaranteed a spot and wouldn't have to drive around the airport lots. Then I found a sweet deal online for Globe (through way.com). The total for ten days was around $45, a deal that sounded too good to be true. My next step was to see if I could find any reviews for Globe Parking online. Thanks to the awesome reviews here from my fellow Yelpers, I did not hesitate a minute longer and booked my space.
The day of my very early morning flight, I drove to Globe where I found several other people also arriving. I quickly checked in and got my ticket and information on contacting them for when I return. I had no idea what to expect and was surprised to find several employees working, checking people in and loading bags on to the shuttle van. Did I mention this was at 3am?
It's about a ten minute ride from Globe to the airport. My drop-off driver was friendly and my handshake somehow even turned into a hug. They're so fast and efficient, I was there and in line before the kiosks to check-in for flights were even open.
The only hiccup I encountered was in returning home. I tried to call for pick up but their line was busy on several attempts. I finally got through and waited about 15 minutes (which I expected) for pick-up from the airport along with a few other Globe patrons. Upon returning to the lot, I overheard that they were having issues with their phones and internet which they were actively trying to remedy. I couldn't fault them for that, it happens.
Once I checked out (since I used the online deal, I had already paid ahead making check out easier), I was told to keep the info on way.com for next time. The whole experience was better than I expected from beginning to end. Great and friendly customer service from a company that knows their business. They even offer car washes, detailing and a few other services that can be done while you're away. I highly recommend Globe Parking to anyone looking for extended airport parking.
