Nassau, Bahamas (March 3, 2014) — Today, when drivers pull into one of three short-term parking lots at Lynden Pindling International Airport (LPIA), they will notice a significant decrease in the daily parking rates. Effective March 3, 2014, fees moved from $30 to $20 per day for premium parking at the airport— 33% less than what drivers paid one week ago.

According to Nicole Henfield, Manager of Parking & Ground Transportation at Nassau Airport Development Company (NAD), the fee reduction is a direct result of feedback from consumers.

“Earlier this year, we conducted surveys to determine what customers considered a fair market price to park in the short-term lots. Participants rated their overall satisfaction with the parking experience at the airport and offered recommendations on pricing,” she explained.

“An overwhelming majority of the 160 persons surveyed preferred a rate at or below $20. Based on these findings, we made the decision to reduce the daily rates in the short-term lots with the hopes of increasing traffic and generating more revenue.”

A total of 625 parking spots in the US Departures, International and Domestic Short Term Parking lots will be offered at the new daily rate of $20 effective today.

Upgraded parking lots at LPIA (US and International) include customer-friendly ticket dispensers with access for left and right-hand drive vehicles, assistance buttons at the ticket dispensers and stand-alone call stations w here drivers can reach parking personnel 24-hours a day.

All other parking rates at LPIA, including per hour rates remain the same. For more information on airport parking rates, visit the To & From section of our website at www.nassaulpia.com.
