Parking Space Economics 101

I’m not all that old, but the average car now costs more than what I paid for my first house. I can deal with that. But, I am flummoxed by the fact that in large metropolitan areas people are paying more for parking places than I paid for my first house. (Let’s hope that in a few years from now I’m not writing a blog post about how a tankful of gasoline for my automobile costs more than I paid for my first house.)

Anyone who has lived or worked in a locale dense with commuters understands the difficulty of finding parking and paying for it. It’s simply a matter of supply and demand. The demand is greater than the supply, hence the difficulty in finding it. And, since the demand is greater than the supply, the prices rise until the demand levels off. It is basic economics. However, understanding the situation doesn’t help you resolve your need to locate parking at a reasonable price.

If you are one of those seeking London Parking for Rent you may be just about ready to throw your hands in the air and give up. Before you trade your vehicle in for a few sessions with a shrink, check out Park Let. They currently have more than 11,000 parking spaces and garage rentals available for rent in London, Manchester, Leeds, Birmingham, and other UK towns and cities. They just might be able to get you into a spot that will cost you less than you paid for your first house.

Driving & Parking In London

I hadn’t a clue as to what I was getting myself into when I rented a car and headed toward London. It was really a last minute trip. I was in the United States Air Force and stationed at the Naval Air Base in Iceland. Each week some of our KC-135 refueling airplanes would fly off to the RAF Fairford Air Base in England. Rather spontaneously I found someone to be responsible for my duties, received leave, and jumped a hop on one of the outgoing KC-135s.

When I landed in England I was able to get reservations for a hotel room in London and grab a rental car. I checked the map and headed toward London where I quickly became snarled in the worst traffic I have ever been in, before or since. My blood pressure rises into the danger zone just thinking about the honking taxis and double decker buses. Traffic in London was scarier than any horror movie I have ever seen. Cars were swarming like African Killer Bees.

Where there are that many cars there is a need for parking and Garages in London. Park Let is the largest supplier of monthly contract parking to individuals and businesses throughout the UK. They are an important resource in the marketplace for parking spaces and garages for rent in London, Manchester, Leeds, Birmingham, and all other UK towns and cities. If you need a space they can help you find it. If you have a spare parking space in your driveway they can help you let it. If you no longer need a spot, they can help you sell it. Check them out.
