About Our Automated
Self-Pay Parking
Gainesville Regional Airport utilizes an automated pay parking system and new ticketing technology. The change is part of more than $800,000 of customer service upgrades required to make exiting the parking lot more efficient for our passengers.
As in the past, passengers arriving at either short or long term parking will approach the entrance gate arm but now have two options. He or she can press the Ticket button on the machine to retrieve a parking ticket and open the gate. The second option is to insert a credit or debit card to open the gate. The card will not be charged until the passenger uses the same card at the exit gate upon departure.
A new option is also available when paying for parking at the return of the trip. Passengers who wish to pay inside at a pre-pay kiosk while they await checked baggage will want to take their ticket with them instead of leaving it in the vehicle.
In an effort to help our passengers with a smooth transition, we have put together this list of Frequently Asked Questions.
