Heads up, Bay Area travelers planning a trip out of Colorado Springs this holiday season, Colorado Springs Airport (COS) is slicing its long-term parking fees in half as a special holiday treat. If you're jetting off any time between December 20, and January 2, 2025, you'll only need to shell out $4 a day to stash your car, generously down from the usual rate of $8. You can thank the seasonal parking promotion for that neat little price cut. This deal, however, is exclusively up for grabs in the long-term and overflow lots, not the short-term one, as conveyed by Colorado Springs Airport.
Since the lots are likely to get packed with vehicles as travelers throng the airport, COS has put up clear signage to guide you to available spots. Once you hit the terminal, if you find the short-term and long-term parking lots busting at the seams, signs will shepherd you to an overflow lot, providing the extra space to accommodate your vehicles, located west of the terminal. Coming past the short-term lot, a quick right onto Milton E. Proby Parkway is all it takes to find your way to the designated overflow area.
With the anticipated surge in travel during the holidays, the airport's advice is to come early. Time is of the essence as you might need to hoof it to parking areas that you're not accustomed to, especially when they're filling up fast. There's no need to clip coupons for the discount, just make sure to exit through a manned booth to get your reduced rate as the automated machines won't apply the promotional price.
Remember, the cozy discount is a going-away present that refuses to stick around past January 2. So, don't dawdle if you want to snatch up that half-price parking. When it's time to make your exit, glide on over to a manned booth, because with a staff member present, they'll ensure you receive the discount, ensuring the promo does its job of lightening the load on your wallet. Before taking off to celebrate the season with family and friends, the folks at COS are doing their part to make your holiday travels a tad more wallet-friendly.
