Frequently Asked Questions
How does long-term parking work?
We have installed gated parking systems where you don’t pay until you return from your trip! When you arrive at the Airport you simply drive up to one of the two entry gates that are provided and push the button that says “Press for Ticket.” The gates will open and you can drive through and park in one of the available parking spots in the lot.
When it is time to leave you simply drive up to one of the exit gates provided, scan the ticket that you were issued upon arrival and pay the required amount. Once payment is made the gates will open and you can depart from the lot.
