Airways Parking, Chicago

Travel days always seem to stretch to unbearable lengths, complicated by early wakeup calls, last-minute packing, and gridlocked traffic streaming in and out of the airport. The staff at Airways Parking work to smooth out one facet of these hassle-filled journeys, offering convenient self and valet parking at a lot located only a three-minute shuttle ride from Midway Airport. Staffers remain onsite 24 hours a day, manning the fenced-in, well-lit lot to repel sketchy characters and guide clients to the free, on-demand shuttle. While drivers are away, they can ensure cars look street-ready upon their return with a hand wash from one of the lot’s experienced staff members. Cars can safely pass short- and long-term stints, and the valet parking service ensures that their returning drivers are greeted by prechilled AC in the summer and snowman-free interiors in the winter.
