Conditions for storing a car in paid parking lots at airports - is it safe? Automatic translate
The possibility of temporarily placing personal vehicles in paid parking lots near major airports is a new, but quite popular service that allows you to ensure the safety of your personal car while the owner is away from the city. As a rule, such parking lots are located near major airports in the capital and a number of other cities.
Daily parking at the airport is a paid service and by choosing it, the owner of the vehicle first of all receives a guarantee of safety and protection of the car from external influences and intruders. At the same time, the list of additional services usually includes service activities, for example, transfer to the airport and back. When returning after a long absence of 1 month or more, in the parking lot you can get services for inflating tires and charging a battery that may have been discharged during downtime.
However, most potential clients are primarily interested in the safety and security of their car during their absence. Let’s take a closer look at how these services work in practice.
Protection against theft and physical impact
In the event of a long absence, even having your own garage cannot guarantee complete protection from scammers or vandals, especially if the garage is not under constant guard in a closed cooperative. When placed in an open parking lot near the house, it makes no sense to talk about any safety. The car may become a victim of theft, an accidental collision, vandals, or valuable electronics may simply be stolen from the interior.
In such a situation, parking lots located near airports become a worthy alternative, because they offer the following storage conditions:
- A fenced and guarded area with an organized access control and management system to prevent intruders from entering the facility;
- Documentation of the rental of a parking space, with appropriate registration. Only the owner registered in the system can pick up the car;
- A 24-hour video surveillance system guarantees a prompt response to any emergency situations and improves the quality of control over the perimeter of the facility.
Thus, all necessary measures are taken to reliably protect the territory from potential scammers, car thieves or simply vandals capable of causing damage to clients’ personal vehicles. The facility is monitored around the clock and is organized at a high level.
Weatherproofing
If the owner is absent for a long time, various climatic and weather factors may pose a risk. For example, if a car is left in a parking lot due to strong winds, branches and tree limbs may fall on it, it may be damaged by hail, snow or ice coming off a nearby roof. If stored outdoors for a long time in winter, the battery and various technical fluids in cars may discharge or deteriorate. Downtime in the summer can cause damage to the interior trim, etc.
In this case, the situation can only be saved by creating the necessary conditions for placing transport, which also exist on the riser. The territory is fenced on all sides, which eliminates the impact of strong wind loads. There are places under a canopy for protection from all types of precipitation. There are also closed boxes where the required temperature and air humidity conditions are maintained. You can learn more about all the benefits after choosing a specific parking lot and contacting it for consultation.
Is it worth using the service?
As practice shows, placing a car in a parking lot under constant control can be an excellent option for organizing safe storage from all points of view. In addition, this option is simply convenient because you can get almost to the airport terminal by your own transport and also use it upon arrival back. A wide range of additional services from parking lots makes this service even more profitable and convenient, and in some cases, economical.
