  • Ample time: With a 30 minute allocated time period, the new pick up and go area allows users ample time to collect their friends or family.
  • Park to pick up: While in the past the driver had to wait in the vehicle when collecting someone, the option of parking the vehicle is now available. Remember not to exceed the 30 minute allocated time.
  • How can I help you: Passenger service agents will be located in the foyer of Parkade 1, ready to assist you should the need arise.
  • Up to date flight Information: Flight information display boards are located in the lobby so that you can keep abreast of any unforeseen changes.

  • Long stay option: Long term parking users will soon have an area dedicated for this purpose, a first for CTIA.
  • No tariff changes: Existing parking tariffs don’t change.cape town airport parking
