ParkWhiz is a long-running parking app that contracts with garages and lots for what it calls insider pricing and passes the rate on to drivers. Its App Store listing names airport parking among the trips it covers, next to commuting, museums and concerts, and says booking ahead saves up to 50% off drive-up rates. You search by address or on a map, pick a pin with a price you like, set your times and get a paperless pass in the app. A past pass can be used to search again, which suits travelers who fly from the same airport often. Support takes calls and texts. ParkWhiz focuses on the booking itself: it does not sell hotel night packages, and airport inventory depends on the lots signed up near your field. Check its results next to SpotHero, since the two often list different lots for the same airport.
