Short stay at the Airport

For years now I’ve been hiring cars through George & Kula at Easy Rent and am doing so again for our next holiday starting tomorrow.

Normally George leaves the car in the short stay car park, however this year I have to ring him when I’ve landed as he’s advised the car park might be closed!

We’re due to land at 9.50pm, although we’ve arrived at similar times in the past with no issue. Anyone aware of the reasons why it’s closed?

Thanks, Mike.

I am amazed that the car parking closes at all.. Flights come in at all times. Sometimes much later than scheduled.

Perhaps it could be because many people, me included, have been complaining about the lack of spaces in the Short Term car park over recent months, Hermes are perhaps cracking down on rental companies who are not using the official rental car park the larger companies use, and forcing them to the more expensive long term parking, or outside of the airport parking facility completely.

We used to exactly the same thing with our rental car prior to living here, and the car could be there for a fair while.

I was in there yesterday, loads of spaces all over. Plenty of rental and private cars In there. only issue was you could not pay by card at the exit barrier had to be at the machine in the central area. 8-)

I have never known that you could pay at the exit barrier. There are 'Pay' machines near the cafe opposite the exit. I believe you then get so many minutes to load up your car and go through the exit Barrier.

Thanks i didn't know that. It would be a bit annoying if you had to go back to the cafe area
