For some, parking fees at the Dubai International Airport’s those fees are a bit costly. But what many don’t know is that there are actually cheaper options. Residents looking for cheaper parking rates on a long-term basis while they are away for their summer holiday need not look further—two of the four hotels just across the Dubai International Airport offer parking fees at a fraction of the cost of parking at airport terminals.
Le Meridien
The VIP parking service at Le Meridien features an underground parking for 500 cars. Non-hotel guests who wish to leave their cars at the hotel may do so and pay Dh250 for two weeks, Dh350 for three weeks, and Dh450 for four weeks. Transportation to and from the airport terminals are available at the hotel for the customers’ convenience. The VIP parking service is available for the summer holidays until September 30. Nijhawan said residents who will avail of the offer will get dining or spa credit at the hotel equivalent to the amount they pay for parking upon their return.
Premier Inn Hotel
Another option for long-term parking is Premier Inn Hotel, which is just 3km from the airport. A hotel concierge said long-term parking is available all-year-round for non-hotel guests at Dh50 per day. The hotel has 72 parking spaces. Shuttle bus service to and from the airport is also available for those availing of this service at the hotel. The hotels may require a copy of the driver’s ID and to leave the car keys with the hotel. Pre-booking is also required.
