Long term airport parking?

Thanks in advance.. we always appreciate all the help Board members have given us through the years. Makes Zihua part time living so much easier and more enjoyable.

This spring we would like to park our car long term at the airport. We will drive out to the airport and have a look at what is involved for space and security.

QUESTION: Does anyone have experience with long term airport parking?
Any questions we should to ask when we drive out to see the possibilities?.
Answers here or email will really be appreciated. Thanks!!

There used to be a "pensión" on the right next to Andy's store just before the turn-off to Barra de Potosí. You could park there. Check in the store.

As per this site under Professional Service's / Automotive ... Rob recommends, "El Guero Car Wash". Mr. Raul Radilla Mendoza. He offers a secure area and will even bring your car to the airport when you return in clean condition.

For peace of mind, I recommend that people ensure that whoever takes care of their vehicle has the necessary permit or license to drive it if it is a foreign-plated vehicle.

Back when I had an FM3 I had a foreign-plated vehicle. The person who took care of the parking took it to have some paint work done on it for me. On the way, he was pulled over. As a Mexican he was not permitted to be driving a foreign-plated vehicle. We almost ended up with my vehicle being seized and him being fined.

As things worked out, he learned that he could get a permit to transport vehicles and did so. But it sure scared him and could have made me very unhappy.

Ask a friend. If someone has space, they usually don't mind looking after it,starting it ever once in a while.

a full fuel tank, some fuel stabilizer and disconnecting the negative battery terminal normally eliminates the need to frequently start a vehicle in Zihua.

You forgot synthetic motor oil.

We plugged ours into a trickle charger and put in fuel stabilizer and the injectors still plugged up. We sold it and have our manager take us wherever we need to go. No need to deal with crazy drivers or crappy parking. On trips out of town we can enjoy the view (and look out for topes).

both my 93 Tracer, aka beater with a heater and '04 Nissan Frontier use regular oil, I go with 20-50 due to the heat, I am probably jinxing myself but my system works well in Zihua and the same in Alaska. Key is to disconnect the battery, too much electronics in vehicles

Until we moved here we would leave our VW beetle with the battery disconnected, under a cover in our driveway for 6 months every year. It absolutely NEVER failed to start right up when we returned. Oil change, fuel stabilizer, it was a champ. Sorry we weren't able to import it!
