A-1 Express Airport Parking

Shuttle service ssssssuuuuuuccccckkkkkssss.
Driver has gone past me twice now. I have been in the ground transportation loop for over 45 mins. Gentlemen have even jumped up and screamed at guy to stop but he just swings thru, doesn’t even tap breaks … And he is not even looking toward the curb where people are but toward his lap.
Might be close but not worth the drama at pick up.

This is my fourth time using A-​1 and their service and friendliness keeps us coming back. This trip we landed much later than usual and the van was super fast to respond to pick us up after we made our phone call to them as instructed when dropping our car off. The price is always reasonable and I will continue to use them for all my airport parking needs…

I’ve used A-​1 a couple of times now and each time has been pretty much a breeze. It’s conveniently located just outside the airport property off Spruce St. and the valet service is nice as you can just park and unload your bags and they will move the car later to wherever they need to put it. The shuttles to and from the airport run pretty regularly and the drivers are always pleasant and friendly. Make sure to check the net or their website for discount codes as my last trip worked out to only $ 6/​day. My only gripe is that this past trip I took, my car must have been parked under a tree for a week and was covered in leaves, debris, and bird crap.

Havnt even gotten back to my car and I know I will never use them again. 30 min plus for shuttle plus I am thinking all the people standing next to me are waiting for the same shuttle. Mean while economy shuttles are up to a dozen gone by (and I am counting). On top of that I didn’t really like that they charged me more for parking myself at $ 9 instead of $ 7. There are very pleasant so I can’t give them one or two stars. I will definitely try economy next.

I am really happy that I found this company. Had to fly out of Tampa for a conference and needed a place to park without paying high airport prices.
The online reservation system was easy to use. The agent at the front desk (even at 3AM in the morning) was kind and friendly. The shuttle driver was also very welcoming and even offered to carry my bags.
When I came back, the shuttle was sitting there waiting for me at the shuttle stop at Tampa.
Overall, it was an excellent experience. I’ll make sure to use their services again.

This is a good alternative for airport parking. The cost and value are good for valet parking in a covered garage. We checked in and checked out quickly and the shuttle service to and from was prompt. Free bottled water and coffee are available, which was a nice bonus.
Would recommend for parking anytime.

Got my car detailed while parked on a trip. So easy for me. And my car even the trunk has a great clean scent. Perfect for me as I had taken it on a long car trip. Nothing like killing two birds with one stone. Tip: If you are taking the shuttle go to the taxi/​rental car area. Call them to get your car pulled up so when you arrive it is available for you.

It’s worth the extra couple of minutes to park at A-​1 Express rather than the airport. I travel rather frequently, and I love being able to drop my car and keys off and go about my trip. Being able to get my car washed while I’m away is an added bonus.
But my favorite part of parking at A-​1 is the service. Whether I’m coming or going, the they address me by name and with a smile. A cliché customer service point, maybe, but even after years in customer service it still works every time.

Wayyyyy better than parking at the airport. Everything was so easy here. Dropped the car with the valet, dropped the keys off inside, jumped on the shuttle, and they drop you at the terminal. Doesn’t get easier than that. Coming back was equally as easy. Shuttle came every 2 min and brought us right back to A1.
Our truck was very dirty when we picked it up, and they even offered to wash it! We declined, but the offer was nice. Very pleased and would highly suggest using this place!

A-​1 was highly recommended to me by my boss. I was very impressed. The check-​in process was quick and efficient and the driver had my luggage out of my car and in the shuttle before I was done checking in. On the return, we waited less than 5 minutes to be picked up and again check out was just as efficient. My only complaint is that I chose to have the car cleaned inside and out. Unfortunately the side windows were not cleaned. I didn’t even notice until I was on my way home because I was in a bit of a rush.

I’ll give A-​1 Express an A-​OK. I rented a car from a nearby rental car company and they didn’t allow me to park in their lot. So they said I could park my car at A-​1 Express at an additional cost to me. Well, I didn’t have any other options so I drove over to A-​1 Express and self-​parked my car in their garage. I signed in at the front desk (after walking around the whole building trying to find it) and they said it was $ 7 a day. OK… since the rental car was very cheap, another $ 21 (for 3 days of parking) was fine.
The shuttle bus driver was nice, even after he had to drive me back to the garage because I made a clown move by forgetting my rental car keys in my own car. So I got my keys out of the car, and he drove me back to the rental car place once more and I was on my merry way.
Three days later, I go back to pick up my car at A-​1 and walk into the office to pay my bill. Surprise! $ 21 was not my final charge. They added a normal sales tax as well as an airport sales tax to the bill. I think both taxes combined is 15.5%. Whoa! But I didn’t even go to the airport! I explained to the nice desk lady that nowhere does it say that I would be charged an airport tax and that I didn’t go to the airport. So why should I pay an airport tax? Fortunately, she agreed with me and since there was no way of removing that tax, she took off a full day instead. So it actually came out to $ 19 instead. Thank you nice desk lady!
So 5 stars for the customer service at A-​1 but the rating drops down to 3 stars because with the taxes, it seems to be cheaper to park at the airport’s economy lot where they don’t charge taxes (unless my memory is incorrect). The lady did say it was a new charge so keep that in mind when reading older reviews.
CORRECTION: 87 cents a day cheaper to park here than the airport, not enough to bump up rating to 4 stars but thank you for the response.

This has been so convenient and inexpensive over the past few years. Definitely the best of the off-​site parking. I can tell a difference in service since 2015 — they have you wait a bit longer, but still a great convenience and deal.

excellent parking facility, whether you use self park or valet. very friendly staff, and very clean waiting area, and very easy access from highway.

I love parking here when I travel. Friendly staff. I love the fact that I can get my car detailed while I’m gone.

A-​1 Express is a good alternative for airport parking. It is close to the airport and the shuttles are quick and friendly. They are literally located one street light away from the ramp leading to the airport.
You can either choose valet or self-​parking. Valet saves you about a $ 1 per day but I prefer self-​parking so I can have my keys. Plus self-​parking in the indoor parking garage while valet is usually outside (still not bad). You also have options like car washes and detailing if you wish.
The drivers have also been friendly and help you with luggage. There is free water, coffee and papers in the lobby. The process to check in and check out is pretty smooth and quick.
Overall, I like A-​1 Express and have used them several times and will continue to use them for all my future trips.

Service went down now a days waiting in settle for 15 minutes because they can’t go with 3 people.

I am very happy with the service I recieved from A-​1. This was my first time using a service like this and I must say it was so worth doing so and will do it again the next time I have to travel.
Friendly service and staff and quick shuttle service to and from the airport. I don’t think I waited 10 mins for a shuttle both ways. In addition to parking sevice, they also offer car wash and car detailing at a very reasonable price. Some times their are coupons available for discounted parking. There was a little confusion for me on my parking situation but it was clearified to me by the service rep at the front desk.
I am fan for sure and happy my first time experience was a great one.

Maybe I got lucky but after flying home from Washington, I had the fastest exit from the airport I ever have.
The car was waiting for us when we arrived and we were on 275 just 20 min after landing.
Thank you A-​1!

The wait for the shuttle getting longer since I have use them for past 8 years. One thing that they have been doing is taking the nearby hotel passenger from airport and prolong the the drop off time to the parking lot since they have drop them off first. I am disappointed with their current business model.
I have make a comment to their employee. And they not willing to admit the customer is right for the delay pick up and drop off. They are getting the shouting match with you. Their attitude from my last parking has turn me away. I am recommending other parking area.
If the pickup include the nearby hotel guest fill up the van, you have to wait for second van. Longer the wait time where they did not tell you.

A-​1 Express Airport Parking is my go-​to place for parking my car off-​site when I’m traveling out of town. The parking lot is just off the end of the airport property, and easy to find.
A-​1 is located along Spruce Street at the traffic light for O’Brien Street. If you’re coming south down the Vets then just follow the signs to Spruce Street, and make the right at the first traffic light which is O’Brien. From there, just follow the signs through a commercial parking lot, and that circles you around the the front office of A-​1.
You have your choice of valet parking or self parking your vehicle. Valet parking is $ 7/​day which includes a free shuttle to and from the airport which runs 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. If you valet park, they will bring your car around to the front entrance and help you load your luggage as you exit the shuttle. It’s a pretty sweet deal when you consider that Economy parking at the airport is $ 9 a day, and the shuttle bus drops you in the general vicinity of your car.
A-​1 also offers auto wash, wax, detailing, and oil change services for an extra price. I’ve had them wash my SUV in the Spring when the pollen is real heavy, and they do a nice job at that.
