IT’S TOO MUCH

Travellers and employees at Piarco International Airport have expressed concern over the proposed increase in parking fees, noting that the higher charges would add to the financial burden at a time when the cost of living continues to rise.

The new rate takes effect on November 1, increasing the daily parking fee from $63 to $95, an increase of $32, or approximately 50%. This means motorists parking at the airport for two full days will pay $190, compared with the current $126, an additional $64. The daily rate applies to parking stays of six hours or more, covering up to 24 hours.
