Now valet parking service available at Delhi airport

November 17, 2011 11:05 am | Updated 11:05 am IST - NEW DELHI:

In order to provide comfort and better facilities to passengers, Delhi's Indira Gandhi International Airport operator Delhi International Airport Limited (DIAL) has begun valet parking service at the airport's Terminal-3.

Situated next to Terminal-3, the service is a premium time-saving facility. Priced at Rs. 300 for two hours, valet parking will be available for passengers travelling through T-3. The cars will be parked at the domestic VIP area of T-3 by trained and uniformed valet drivers in a safe and secure environment, said a DIAL spokesperson.

“Parking is an important part of any passenger's travel plan. When we took over in 2006, parking was a real challenge with small parking lots and narrow exits. This used to result in a lot of unnecessary traffic snarls, but with the opening of India's largest multi-level car parking and customised services like park and fly and valet parking, all this is a thing of the past,” said DIAL CEO I. Prabhakara Rao.

In order to avail the facility, passengers need to arrive at the terminal through the service road, hand the car keys over to the valet and head towards the terminal building.

“Terminal 3 has a peak hour handling capacity of 10,100 passengers per hour and on an average 9,500 public and private cars ply in and out of the terminal everyday. The valet parking hopes to make the airport parking experience more convenient and comfortable for passengers,” said a DIAL spokesperson.

IGI airport's Terminal-3 provides a six-storied multi-level car park system, which helps maximise car parking capacity as it can accommodate up to 4,300 cars at any given time.
