In December 2011, a Charlevoix-area provider advertised vehicle storage and delivery for Beaver Island travelers as an alternative to airport parking. The offered service included returning vehicles to the airport, thawing and charging them, and arranging other vehicle services. A forum participant later reported a favorable personal experience with the service.

- The provider advertised storage in Charlevoix, delivery to the airport, vehicle thawing/charging, and optional services. A forum participant reported using the service for vehicle pickup, storage, repairs, and delivery, and said the combined cost was below airport parking in that instance. The notice and testimonial do not establish the provider's legal identity, general rates, capacity, or continued operation.forum · www.beaverislandforum.com · 04 · t004458
- A follow-up identifies Mainland Parking as a newer business operated by Dean Spencley and Danny Drost near the Charlevoix Airport and lists advertised vehicle warming, safety checks, snow removal, security, detailing, pickup/delivery, and emergency contact services. It repeats the provider’s claim that rates were comparable to city airport rates; this remains promotional information.forum · www.beaverislandforum.com · 04 · t004497
- The provider advertised daily through yearly passes, vehicle delivery to the airport or boat dock, and rates of $3 daily, $5 overnight, $20 weekly, $60 monthly, and $200 yearly. This is a promotional rate sheet, not an independent price or service audit.forum · www.beaverislandforum.com · 04 · t004703
- The provider corrected its office number and repeated its pickup, delivery, shuttle, and advertised-rate claims. It documents a correction to the contact information, not a change independently verified by a public agency.forum · www.beaverislandforum.com · 04 · t004726
