Safe Driving Tips
Here at Rocket Parking, your safety means the world to us. Whether you are parking in our facility, traveling in our complementary shuttles, or just going about your day-to-day life, we hope that you remain safe and healthy. As a result, we have complied a list of safe driving tips so that you can arrive at your destination in once piece:
1. Don't drive too fast or too slow. "Just Right" is the perfect speed when traveling during busy weekends. What we mean is, stick to going the speed limit, or just a bit over or under, but don't rush through construction zones or speed 20mph faster than you should be. A traffic ticket or unexpected accident will surely ruin your day.
2. Don't hog the left lane. You are being a model driver and proceeding along your route at barely over the legal speed limit. If you are driving in the left lane and a long line of cars starts to form behind you, move over! Obviously, someone is in a rush and drivers often get very upset when they cannot speed by as fast as possible. Who knows, you may see that adrenaline junky down the road with a ticket. Proceed with caution and respect for other drivers.
3. Keep your headlights on at all times. Yes, headlights should be on, even in the daytime! This little trick helps you to be more visible to other drivers and could even help you avoid an accident.
4. Check your vehicle before you go. This includes a simple self performed oil check, battery check, tire pressure check, windshield wiper check etc. Make sure that you have enough wiper fluid in case of the inevitable downpour. It is always better to be safe and prepared!
5. Sharing is caring! Traveling more than a few hours? Have a few safe drivers going along with you? Perfect! Rotating the driving duty is a great way to ensure that no one gets burnt out and everyone has a chance to rest.
No matter where you are traveling, Rocket Parking wishes you a safe and stress free day! Driving to Houston's Bush Intercontinental Airport and then flying to your destination? Don't forget to make your free online reservation so that you can save money on Houston Airport parking!

Why Off-Airport Parking?
Doesn't it always seem like Houston Intercontinental Airport never seems to have enough parking spaces? The lots are always full, and the traffic is always heavy! Did you know that although off-airport parking is usually a brief drive from the airport, the lots are more manageable and you can reserve your parking online in advance to ensure that you have a spot! If you would like to reserve your Rocket Parking online, please visit our website!
These off-site airport parking companies such as Rocket Parking are usually private family owned businesses. All things considered, they can usually offer you a better deal all around than on-site airport parking. By parking a few blocks away from the airport, you can save tons of money!
Unfortunately, drivers tend to avoid off-site parking companies, falsely assuming that it will take extra time to catch a shuttle to the airport. But have you ever been stuck in IAH airport traffic for what seems like forever? Why not just pay a little less and get to the airport faster?! That's right! Save money AND arrive at IAH stress free!
You want to know what else? When parking with off-site parking companies, you almost never pay more than the airport! Indeed, off-site parking companies generally charge at least 25%-50% less than the local airport!
Unlike the airport where you are left to your own devices, off-airport parking services will help you with your luggage and give you a complementary shuttle ride where you can just sit back and relax. Some off-site parking companies even do minimal car maintenance while you are away!

What to do during a Layover in Houston
![]() |
| People watching can be very entertaining! |
For some, layovers are a
wonderful time to get out of the plane that has held them hostage for hours and
walk around on some steady land. For others, layovers are a drag and can’t end
soon enough. Check out some of these tips on how to make the most of your
layover at Houston’s Bush Intercontinental Airport:
1.
Explore Houston! Depending on how long your layover at IAH
airport is, get out and explore this great city! Some layovers can be as long
as 5-6 hours, just enough time to hit most of the popular Houston sites.
2.
Work out. If you don’t want to leave the airport, make the most of
your stay by burning a few calories. If you are shy, or really don’t want other
travelers to watch you do jumping jacks in the terminal, download a distance
app [Strava, Nike Plus etc] on your smart device and take a brisk walk around
the airport. You can clock in a few miles before your next flight arrives.
3.
Eat, drink, and be merry! Nothing makes a layover pass faster than a
trip to one of the many Houston Airport bars for a quick drink. Most
restaurants have a happy hour special, perfect if your layover is during the
afternoon.
4.
Get
a room. If your layover is
going to be very long, and/or during the wee hours of the morning, consider
getting a cheap hotel room so that you will feel refreshed for the next leg of
your journey. Can’t spend that much money? Purchase some ear plugs and a sleep
mask before your trip, and get a little shut eye right at your gate.
5.
Read. Just about every airport has a multitude
of magazine carts and bookstores. Browse every magazine on the rack or purchase
a book you have been dying to read. Better still, take this opportunity to
download a book onto your smart device and enjoy some quiet time.
Here at Rocket
Parking, we hope to make your Houston Airport Parking experience much more
enjoyable than a long layover. With a variety of IAH parking options, including
speedy shuttle service, free online reservations, and kind staff, we aim to
please!

Easy Car Maintenance Tips
Did you know that April is “National
Car Care Month?” That means there is no better time to perform a self-check
test on your car than right now in the middle of April! It is important to remember the following car
maintenance tips so you can ensure that your vehicle is running properly before
the arrival of the summer driving season!
1.
Pop that hood! Pop the hood of your car and inspect all important fluids.
Find the dipstick for your engine oil and transmission fluid and check these
first. If you aren’t sure where to locate them in your car, search Google to
find out.
2.
While you are under there…make
sure to check any visible hoses and belts. Make sure that they aren’t brittle,
frayed, or loose.

3.
Battery basics. Pay
special attention to the battery connections and make sure that they aren’t
loose and corroding. If corrosion is present, take a screwdriver or similar
tool and scrape the decay loose.
4.
April showers bring…windshield
wiper use!! Ensure that your windshield wiper fluid is full. If it needs to be
topped off and you don’t have any fluid on hand, you can always use distilled
water as a temporary substitute.
5.
Tire tips. Checking
tires is probably the easiest type of self-maintenance you can perform! Invest
in an inexpensive tire pressure gauge and make sure that your tires are full of
air. Remember that if your tires show uneven wear, it is time for a wheel
alignment!
Spring into April by making your
free online reservation with Rocket Parking
the next time you fly out of Houston’s Busch Intercontinental Airport.

5 Shoulder Season Travel Tips
Just because the holiday travel season is long
gone doesn’t mean that you have to hunker down at home until the summer! We
know we know…we get it! Summer is better because the weather is warmer and the
kids are on summer break. Speaking of break, saving your vacation for summer is
sure to break one thing, the bank! Instead, choose to travel during the
“shoulder season,” the period between the off and peak seasons. This time of
year usually brings calmer airports, less crowded destinations and much more
bang for your buck. When planning your shoulder season getaway, keep these
helpful tips in mind:
1. Don’t inconvenience yourself trying to save
money. Off season is “off” for a reason, and, as a result, prices are
cheaper. You will be able to get the same vacation for half the price.
2. Check the weather for your desired
destination. If you are from Michigan, a European vacation with weather in
the 40’s will be pleasant. If you are from Florida, it will be freezing cold.
Don’t let your idea of bad weather ruin your trip!
3. Investigate your destination. Just
because it is the low season in the United States doesn’t mean it will be the
low season in India. Check the local customs of the location you will be
visiting to ensure that no cultural holidays will be going on during your stay.
4. Don’t let multiple high seasons leave you
in a muddle! That’s right; some places have multiple high seasons. Ski
resorts are packed during the winter, but are also popular during the summer
where outdoor enthusiasts flock for hiking, biking and rock climbing. Choose
your destination wisely.
5. Not sure when the shoulder season is? Investigate
local hotel websites and see when they are changing peak rats. No rates listed?
Just research rooms on various dates and see what pops up!
You can save money ANY season when you park
with Rocket Parking. Make your free
online reservation today and we will take care of your car the next time you
travel out of Houston’s Busch Intercontinental Airport.

Save Big Bucks and Take a Mini-Moon!
Spring has officially arrived, and wedding season has started picking up speed! For many couples, the wedding is lovely, but spending quality time as newlyweds on a honeymoon just can’t be beat. After spending big bucks on the wedding and reception, taking an exotic three-week long honeymoon right after the wedding just isn’t feasible. A growing trend called “mini-moons” or “honey-weekends” means that you can have your cake and eat it too. Consider a shorter, cheaper vacation, right after the wedding, until you save up enough money to go all out! Depending on where you live, here are some honeymoon weekend ideas we recommend:
·
Relax on
a Cruise. If you live within driving distance of a cruise port, consider a
discount weekend cruise. Vacationstogo.com
offers extremely discounted cruises at the last minute. Cruise vacations can be
found for as little as $290 for a four day cruise on a four star ship!
·
Fly
somewhere close. Leave your car in the hands of Rocket Parking and search online for
discount airfare. Just taking a plane somewhere will make the destination feel
exotic. Tip: Make sure your flight is non-stop so you don’t waste precious time
on layovers.
·
Snag a
deal on a fancy hotel. You don’t have to leave town to feel like you are
away on vacation! Search discount websites such as groupon and pamper
yourselves to a few nights at a beautiful hotel in your town or the closest
city.
·
Discover
your hometown. If your budget is really tight, you can have a splendid
“staycation” right in your own backyard. Pick up a city guide and check out
local attractions you and your spouse have never done—a new museum, botanical
gardens, a far flung outlet mall etc. Doing things you both have never done
will be a bonding experience in the same was a traditional vacation.
If your “mini-moon” involves flying to a nearby destination, make sure to make your free online reservation with Rocket Parking to ensure the lowest rates on Houston's Bush Intercontinental Airport.

Fun Destinations for Every Kind of Spring Breaker
It is no secret that popular spring break destinations
book up fast and attract crowds of drunken college kids. Whether you are a
student who wants a break from the traditional “trashy” spring break, or a
family wanting to find some place different and appropriate to take the kids,
lesser-known destinations offer exactly what you are looking for. Check out
some of our recommendations below:
Saint
Augustine, Florida
Located just two hours north of Orlando and one hour
south of Jacksonville, St. Augustine offers plenty of beautiful white sandy
beaches. Awesome beaches away from increased prices and bunches of drunken
college kids…who doesn’t want that? When you are finished at the beach, walk
around this city’s historic downtown and enjoy the great food and fun bars.
Wisconsin
Dells, Wisconsin
Think Wisconsin during the spring time is way too cold
for swimming? Not if the water parks are indoors! The Wisconsin Dells is
basically a city full of hotels with indoor water parks and theme parks. When
you get bored of one indoor water park, just walk next door to another one!
Whether you enjoy lazy rivers, wave pools or monstrous slides, the Dells will
certainly deliver. Order a margarita and book your flight to Wisconsin!
Punta Cana,
Dominican Republic
Dream of a Caribbean retreat away from the crowds? Punta
Cana offers the luxury of a variety of all-inclusive resorts which means you
can put your money away and relax as soon as you arrive. Swimming, boating,
scuba diving and alcohol are all usually included in resorts. Step outside of
the box and party spring break style with the natives at nearby local clubs and
bars.
Puerto
Vallarta, Mexico.
Forgo Cancun and book your stay in Puerto Vallarta. This
city is perfect for the adventurous spring breaker on a budget. Secret beach
coves and beautiful waterfalls are abundant. Once the sun sets, local bars
debut their “can’t be beat” happy hour prices that are sure to be a hit with
everyone. Night owls can let loose at the fantastic dance clubs and beach
parties. Dancing in the moonlight isn’t to be missed!
No matter where you choose as your spring break
destination, don’t forget to make your free online reservation with Rocket Parking!

5 Ways to Protect Your Parked Car
From expensive electronics to empty candy wrappers,
we keep pretty much everything and anything in our cars. Since your vehicle is
essentially your miniature home away from home, you are going to want to take
precautions to safeguard your vehicle when you fly out of Houston’s Busch
Intercontinental Airport. Although Rocket Parking boasts a secure, well lit
parking lot, you still have to do your part to ensure the safety of your
vehicle. Read on to find out how you can help us protect your car while you are
traveling:
1. It
is best not to leave valuables inside, but if you must, hide them, and hide them well. Conceal them at home in your own
driveway, away from the prying eyes of airport criminals. Don’t park your car
at the airport and then hide your laptop; the risk of being seen is too great.
2. For
maximum security, leave your car near
high traffic areas such as the entrance and exit or the shuttle pickup
kiosk. The increased foot traffic will add to the number of eyes on your car
and will discourage potential thieves.
3. Your
next best bet is to leave your car in a
well-lit area, something Rocket Parking certainly has to offer. Our entire
lot is well-lit for maximum safety. Shining lights discourage intruders who
don’t want to be caught.
4. A neat car is less likely to get
robbed. If a thief looks in and sees wires poking out from
under the seat or a large object seemingly covered up by a towel or hat, this
is sure to attract his or her curiosity. If a potential crook sees nothing but
car upholstery, it is less likely that he or she will break in to the vehicle.
5. Keep your car doors locked at all
times. Although this sounds like common sense, many
people honestly forget to lock their cars or are lured into a false sense of
security by their surroundings. An unlocked car is the easiest way for a thief
to slip into your vehicle.

Avoiding Travel Scams
If you have been feeling bored or overworked, the
thought of a cheap or free vacation might sound pretty appealing…and scammers
know that! Scams are often effective on travelers because of their simplicity,
but with a little preparation you can avoid being an easy target. Before you
begin your dream vacation, bone up on these tips for avoiding travel-related
scams:
v Watch
out for unsolicited “deals” on fantastic locations. If it sounds too good to be
true, it usually is.
v Search
the Better Business Bureau and American Society of Travel Agents to make sure
your travel company is legit before
you give them any money.
v Always
use a credit card when making travel related purchases. This way, if you feel
you have been scammed, you can dispute the charge with your credit card
company.
v Be
on the lookout for “travel clubs” that offer “free” membership. Many times,
these services simply charge your credit card every month and provide few
benefits.
v If
you win a “free” vacation, don’t ever give out your credit card information. You
should never have to pay to collect a prize.
v If
you are working with a travel agency or vacation service, make sure to get all
of the details about your trip in writing. This contract will act as legal
proof in the event that your experience wasn’t what you were promised.
Here at Rocket
Parking, you will never be
scammed. Make your free online reservation today and save!
