Munich. Nowadays it is often the parking fees at the airport that are the most expensive factor about flying. It costs 26 Euro per day to park a car in one of the four car parks at Munich Airport. In the more distant "holiday parking spaces", the fee is 14 Euro per day. The special provider Holiday Extras promises to reduce the parking fees by up to 70% compared to the official fees at airports, and not only in Munich, but at many airports in eight European countries. The company offers not only parking spaces at its own "Airparks" or rented areas at airports, but also cooperates with airport hotels or hotels at river, lake and cruise ship harbours. At the moment, 121 hotels at 42 airports are participating. Holiday Extras CEO Martin Pundt wants to increase the number of hotels systematically: the hotels provide the car specialist with large profits despite favourable fixed rates for travellers. Driving and sleeping are a fruitful symbiosis in this global franchise model.
