Why people book a car for an event
Nobody books a chauffeur to get to a game. They book one to get home from it. The drive in is the easy half: parking near a full stadium is expensive when it exists, the roads around it close before kick-off, and seventy thousand people all leave within the same twenty minutes. Add a couple of drinks and the calculation makes itself.
What it costs you not to
Event parking is charged at event rates, assumes you find a space, and leaves you driving home at the end of a night you went out to enjoy. Two fixed-price journeys are frequently the cheaper option once parking is counted — and they are always the easier one.
