I use a corporate discount through my employer. Park'n'Fly Plus for $5/day uncovered. So, I would say check with your employer to see if you have access to any corporate discount program. They're all located in the same area on Camp Creek Pkwy. I imagine the service is about the same at all of them.

The one I use does have Delta check-in with checked baggage service, so long as it's 45 minutes before the flight (though I would only think of using it if I was there about 90 minutes before my flight).

I love PreFlight. They are one of the closest lots to the airport, have a loyalty program whereby just being a member you are guaranteed a spot in the lot and they also have web coupons that can make your stay very cheap:

I have had a long & satisfactory history with Park 'n Ticket, which has a frequent-parker loyalty program, offers a Park 'n Bark pet-sitting service, and is one of the closest off-airport lots. :)

I agree with the Preflight Reccomendation
 
I have used them for a while. Their frequent parker program is pretty good, in the last year, they have had 20% off mon-friday coupons available, and 35% off Saturday stay parking. My only complaint is that in bad weather, they dont leave busses sitting in the arrivals area like other providers seem to do.

I'll 3rd (or 4th) PreFlight. Used them for a few years and never had an issue. Plenty of covered parking and generally quick busses.

I've used Park and Fly Plus for 3 years flying weekly with no issues. I like the valet service, loyalty program, carwash services, and they seem to always have a bus waiting.

I'm glad someone starting this topic, as I've always been curious. Some quick questions ...

How much is the valet service per day? Can you describe how it works? (i.e., does someone help you and your bags onto the shuttle? And, what about when the shuttle arrives?) Does the loyalty program get you free parking days to use, for example, when you go on vacation? And, how much is the car wash?

Can you check/pay for excess baggage as well?

I use PreFlight
 
I will +4 (or 5) the comments about PreFlight. I started using them when they first opened and in better economic times when the ATL lots and Park 'n Fly would always be sold out. You can get a pittance of Skymiles, but their loyalty program for free parking is better. The online coupons, as of late, have been pretty good and can even be used for mid-week covered parking ^.

- But -

Now that air travel has declined, most of the lots are not filling up as fast. You can park in the covered decks at ATL and save 15 minutes over having to wait/ride a shuttle bus. Some of the other lots may be offering specials, too.

How about the Hotel's Park & Fly
 
Don't know if it would work for you, but I drive from LA (Lower Alabama) and use the Hotels on Virginia. Both the Residence Inn and Courtyard offer Park & Fly rates with UNLIMITED parking. The Crowne Plaza offers 14 days included in their park & fly and then $8 a day after that, & they have a secured lot with security.

I've stayed with Park 'n Fly Plus since they started as The Carport in the mid-80's. AAA discount gets valet covered down to a reasonable level. Ticket counter & baggage check makes a world of difference.

Pre-Flight
 
I've used Pre-Flight for 9+ yrs. Started using them for the loyalty program they have which gives you 250 DL SMs after a certian amount of spend and free parking certificates. Not many SMs but it was enough to hook me. Red eye arrivals can lead to a bit of a long wait (5-10 min.) for shuttle pick at airport. Easy way to prevent this is to give them a call when you are boarding train to head to main terminal.

Preflight for me. Their new policy for free parking makes them even better. I get 35% off (corp program) and use my free nights for long personal vacations.

I also got frustrated with showing up at ATL only to find the garage full, so I switched my business to the Parking Spot. Have been satisfied with the service so far. Can make a reservation like the other locations mentioned on this thread and one of their vans is always at the Airport to pick up passengers. One van does not leave until a replacement van pulls up.

My corp discount card gets covered valet down to about $13/day. Yes - they have staff to help you on both ends of the trip. They call in your ticket number when you board the bus and your car is there waiting for your already warmed up. The loyalty program builds points and you can use it for free days - there are different point values for self parking covered / uncovered and valet covered / uncovered. I think the car wash was around $20 - I've only used it once. A Delta kiosk is on premise as well as baggage check, I typically use this kiosk to check into my flight rather than one at the airport. I've used the baggage check once and all went well.

Park and Fly Plus maybe isn't the cheapest but the service is good (and the rate has never concerned a client).
