If you fly out of Cedar Rapids every week, you already have a routine. Here is one our regulars swear by: rent a unit, keep the car in it, and use a rideshare to the airport.
How it works
You rent a drive-up unit. Drive in, park the car inside, pull the door down. Grab a rideshare for the short trip to the terminal. When you land, ride back, open your door, and drive home. Your car never sits outside.
Which unit
A 10x20 fits most cars and SUVs, and it is $135 a month with 50% off the first 3 months. If you want room for gear, a 10x30 is $165 a month. If you want power for a battery maintainer, the 10x30 with electricity is $295 a month. Prepay 12 months and save 10%.
When it beats daily parking
Indoor parking is $27 a day. Once you are parking more than about five days a month, a 10x20 unit at the regular $135 price costs less. During the 50% off months the break-even comes even sooner. Plus the unit is yours, so you can keep a spare suitcase, a winter coat or golf clubs right there.
