We are going out to Monza for the WEC prologue in a few weeks time and am horrified to see that Brum airport wants £50 to park the car for two days, one night.

There is another place that charges £12.50 but busses people to the airport. The only problem with that is the early flight time. How early do we actually have to be at the parking to get to the terminal in time. (airparks drop and go) busses every 25 minutes and takes 14 mins. Thats pushing an hour if we miss the bus.

Other option is a hotel for the night and pay to leave the car there. Downside is there are three of us.

Do any of you locals have a good plan?

P.S flights were £100 hotel is £30 each, Hire car £30 and parking £50!!!!

0650 flight, looking at hotels with Parking as don't mind spending a bit more and not having to get up at 2am. Even those that are £60 charge £7.50 a day to park then you still have to pay for taxi's. There are three of us travelling too.

Hadn't thought of train, never flown from Brum as Bristol and Cardiff are closer. Direct flights to Milan were better from Brum then Heathrow for us.

I think we have a winner!

Parking at the station is only £9 a day at the weekend. I don't mind paying that when you are only a few minutes away.

Thanks all.
