The Valet Parking will move from Ground Floor Parkade 2 to Level 1 in Parkade 1 in order to make way for new developments at the airport.

The valet operation has outgrown the allocated space. The move makes provision for a larger area and should provide a better customer experience.

Once the ground floor of Parkade 2 has been cleared, work will commence in the area to make way for a new Pick up and Go area.

If all goes according to plan Pick up and Go will be relocated in March this year. Deidre Davids, Senior Manager Corporate Affairs at Cape Town International Airport said, “The valet operators have done their best to inform their clients about their new location. Signage will be in place to assist their customers. Staff will be on hand to provide assistance if required. These are the first pieces of the puzzle. With our pending construction programme there will be constant changes.

While we do anticipate some disruption, the team will do their best to limit this”.

The airport has invested R8 million on developing a new and improved valet area that was designed around customer centricity and the delivery of exceptional service levels. The area will officially open and be fully operational from 05h00 tomorrow, 31st January .

Valet users are requested to keep a look out for signage around the airport precinct and on social media for updates. Should you require any additional information please contact 021 937 1200 or your Valet service provider at CTIA.” This forms part of the airport’s broader expansion programme. The three main projects include a new International Terminal, a new Domestic Arrivals Terminal as well as a new runway.

The fees for using the new long-term parking facility will remain at current levels provided travellers book online.

Travellers using the existing long-term parking area currently need to wait for a shuttle bus, which can result in delays due to the high volume of traffic on roads around the airport.

The new long-term parking area in the MSP2 parkade under the City Lodge hotel offers 4 300 parking bays over five levels. This parkade is a five-minute walk from the domestic and international terminals.

Directional signage for the new long-term parking area has been installed on airport access roads.

The long-term parking area is ideal for travellers who will be away for three days or longer. Travellers can book via the ‘Book Parking Online’ link at www.airports.co.za,

Travellers can save up to 50% of their total parking fee by booking up to five days in advance. Discounts start at 10 per cent for booking one day in advance, 20 percent for booking two days in advance and up to 50 per cent for the five-day maximum advance booking period.
