Holiday in August.

Go to the airport in the Defender and leave it in "Jetparks" or leave it on the drive at home in Suburbia?

Which one is more likely to lose me my doors and bonnet while we are away?
 
im leaving mine at family......like taking the dug to the kennels .

Never had any worries about leaving mine in the airport long term car park. Surrounded by security fences, cameras, 24/7 staff presence. Bit more secure than suburbia.
 
i wouldnt leave it at the airport, i didnt come with mine today because of that. Some minimum wage security guard isnt going to give a **** when your pride and joy is being driven through the gates.
 
Too right paul .

I hate airport carparks with vengence ....

My mate got his sons spaxo nicked at edinburgh airport by some illigal ravers running from the cop shop.

They wiggled and wiggled and wiggled not to pay .... My mate is vicious when he has been wronged and he turned up in edinburgh -50 miles away the same day he got the letter saying we aint paying and sat in their office telling folk who came in not to leave their cars as they might as well leave them on the street.

How ever hes also happy he borrowed the paxo and didnt take his own daily driver mint owned since new lotus carlton.....
 
Jetparks is better than long stay, you can't get your car in or out without a booking and a token. But general public can still wander around if they want, although you need to catch the special Jetparks bus as it's offsite.
 
I've left mine 3 times in air port car parks all the one with numberplate rec on the gates / barriers. never had a problem took normal precautions pedal lock etc

with cctv security / gate / pedal lock if you can't leave it there where can you leave it
 
Never had an issue with airport long stays, no damage ever but always fit the pedal lock and steering lock just to be sure.
 
If you are that concerned, better just cancel the holiday. Seems that either way you wouldn't be able to relax and enjoy it anyway! :rolleyes:
 
I actually thought of that for the future. A customer of mine made a holiday out of it and he said it was fabulous.
He said it took about a week to get there
 
My mate left his car at one of those private airport car parks last year and some time after realised that some bastide had nicked his nearly new tyres off it and replaced them with the same make but worn to the bone !! :rolleyes:
 
Well, we left it (the 110) at home, and went to the airport in the 90.

All was fine of course. And so was the Greek island we stayed on. We saw one Defender there.
