    I have not been in the Shannon business park but if you look at google street view there do not appear to be any parking control signs. Is there any reason why someone couldn't drop their bags and family at the terminal and park there. Some of the spaces have small signs corresponding to certain factories or business' but there appears to be a lot of free parking there. Its only about 2k to the terminal building which is only about a 10 or 12 minute jog which is well worth the hassle considering the 2 weeks for the price of 1 promotion has ended. Does anyone know if cars can be clamped or towed.

    There's a car in the multistory which has been parked there for at least three years. I reckon you could leave a car there for ages and no one would notice.

    They notice, but dont do anything about it!
    With the barriers up for so long during the day, not much they can do except clamp, which they don't do.
    I know that car you are on about, it actually moved a few spaces over a few months ago!

    I did spot that. Wasn't sure was I imagining it or not.

    Has anyone tried the Park Smart crowd? The offer with them is €30 for the week..
    I would like to know if others have tried this service - they also do shuttle to and from airport or you can have them collect and drop off your car at airport.
    I am not too sure about the 2nd option. I would feel better knowing I locked up my car for the week and had the keys with me.

    Used to do exactly that, no problems whatsoever.
    Since it's half empty and derelict, no one cares.

    Personally would not park in the Industrial estate as there are night time activities that happen there.

    I used them last May and found them to be a great service. The people were also very friendly dropped me and collected me from the airport. I will defiantly use them again.

    Any updates on car parking in Shannon Airport?

    I see Ryanair now offer parking near the ind. estate.

    There seems to be a long-term parking near the departures building? They want to hold on to your keys????????? No way Jose!

    The main carpark in front of the airport is €9 per day......are they for real in the airport?

    No idea what the Ryanair one is-they must have a deal with someone

    park4less or whatever it's called is 5 or 6 a day if booked on advance. Definitely don't have to leave keys. The regular long term is naturally dearer

    I parked at the Pay4Less car park last week, it was spot on, nice and cheap and close to the airport.

    Probably not worth the trouble; the Park4Less lot at the airport is only €6 a day, and gets cheaper per day for stays of a few days or more (e.g. a week is €30, two weeks is €50). It's only a 5-10 minute walk to the terminal, no bus needed.

    I used the Park via, and was very happy with the prompt service and standard of security. Cars are stored in a locked compound with high walls. Mike is very helpful and promptly responds to emails and calls. He will then drop you to departures, and collect you. Highly recommend.
