The Parclick car valet service, this is how it works at Rome's Fiumicino airport, the service tested and reviewed for you. How the car valet service works, what are the pros and services.
One of the things that I find most stressful about taking a plane is the whole organization part car parking at the airport. Not only do you have to arrive at least two hours before the departure of the plane, but if you book a parking space outside the airport, you must allow at least another half hour to leave the car and be taken to the exact departure terminal .
This it implies numerous expectations. Waits when you arrive at the parking and you have to park the car yourself. Waiting to make the arrangements or the telephone number (often the parking lots have different rules from city to city but also from airport to airport), for the day of collection, waiting to take the shuttle that will take us to the airport (often it leaves as soon as it reaches a minimum number of passengers).
Il car valet service that I tried with Parclick instead it was fast, punctual and also fun. I had never used such a service and I must say that I loved it. It was the first time I had tried such a service, although obviously I already knew it and immediately gave me confidence and the desire to rebook it for future trips as well.
Car Valet how it works
The car valet service is a service for which you can arrive by car to the exact departure terminal to leave the car for those who come to pick it up in person. Basically you do not go to the parking lot, but the parking attendants come to collect the car, drive it to the parking lot and keep it there, on return they will bring it back to the place where you met, or another indicated in the agreements.
Comfort is unique. With Parclick, 20 minutes before arriving at the airport, I phoned to advise that we were about to arrive at the departures. We met at a specific point, right in front of the entrance to the Rome Fiumicino airport, and after unloading my suitcases I gave them the car keys and entered the airport. Time of operation, about 10 minutes.
Who assures me that I am leaving the keys to trusted people? Obviously the guys in the parking lot all have the same jacket and after inspecting the car, to see if there are drafts or breaks, which could be reported on return, they make you sign a receipt. The service is precise, friendly and very safe.
Car Valet because I recommend it
I recommend the Car Valet service to those who have a lot of suitcases, to those with children, but also to those who have little time to waste and maybe are traveling for work. One of the things that bothers me the most when I take a plane is the rigmarole of unloading luggage, putting it in the shuttle, arriving at the airport and re-loading the luggage, as if the journey, perhaps of 8 or more hours, is not already sufficiently stressful.
The car valet that I tried thanks to Parclick allowed me to enjoy the outward journey better, taking some time for myself, having lunch at the airport very calmly, loading the bags before the others so as to relax once the checks are done.
Additional services
Among the additional services of the car valet, which I took advantage of, there is also the car wash. Traveling with a child it is not uncommon to have an unpresentable car. Crackers, colors, games, crumbs and juice just about everywhere. You try to leave it clean as long as possible, but the fact is that when you have a baby in the car, the car needs to be washed more often. I took advantage of the car valet's car wash service and once back from the trip, we found the car not only at the point where we left it, but also perfectly clean, both internally and externally.
Do you want to find the scented car ready for the return trip home after 11 hours on the plane? One thing that immediately puts you in a good mood and makes you regret a little less the destination from which you came (especially if it is hot!).
