Long term parking tariffs slashed at four airports
Parking is free at these airports for stays of longer than 15 days.
Parking tariffs for stays of seven days and longer at South Africa’s four largest airports have been slashed for the peak holiday season from December 13 to January 13.
The reduced tariffs will apply at OR Tambo International Airport, Cape Town International Airport, King Shaka International Airport and Port Elizabeth International Airport.
Travellers using parking facilities at these four airports will pay R500 for a stay of seven days or more. Parking is free at these airports for stays of longer than 15 days. Depending on the parking area used, tariffs for stays of longer than seven days would normally be in excess of R1 000.
The parking offer excludes the use of the Piazza and Premium parking at OR Tambo International Airport and the pick-up facilities at any of the four airports.
Bookings are not required for this period and the offer is subject to availability of parking bays.
The normal process of taking a ticket at the parking entry booms will apply. Airport systems have been programmed to calculate the special offer for those parking for longer than seven days. Credit cards can be used at all nine airports owned and managed by Airports Company South Africa. Queries can be resolved at the parking office at each airport.
Refentse Shinners, group executive at corporate affairs at Airports Company South Africa says that typically business travellers are the heaviest users of airport parking during the year.
“We are able to make this offer because a greater number of bays is available during the peak holiday season and the need to manage availability of parking is reduced.
“Airport parking is covered and vehicles are safe from weather damage. CCTV cameras remain in operation in our parking areas which are patrolled by security staff.”
