Like a support group for emus and penguins, airport parking lots offer solidarity to cars saddened by their inability to soar through the clouds. Cheer up your flightless auto with today's Groupon to Expresso Airport Parking, located about three miles from the Oakland International Airport in San Leandro. Choose from the following options:

• For $14, you get three days of open-air parking (up to a $29.85 value).
• For $19, you get three days of indoor parking (up to a $38.85 value).
• For $22, you get three days of indoor valet parking (up to a $44.85 value).

Expresso Airport Parking takes the hassle out of preflight parking, safely stowing automobiles while their owners are out of town. Partake in a complimentary newspaper and coffee and muffins after halfheartedly promising to send your car a postcard, and board the company shuttle, which whisks travelers to the terminal in about eight minutes. Both the indoor- and valet-parking options include protected parking, and the latter service offers luggage assistance and vehicle retrieval. As an added resource, voyagers can check the Expresso’s current-flight-status page for real-time updates on airline schedules and air-traffic-controller personal ads.

Though Expresso Airport Parking sometimes features a discounted price online, this Groupon still offers the best deal available.
