Parking Kiosks

Miami International Airport has opened its new central collections plaza, which should make its parking garages easier to use.

PARKING TOLL PLAZA: Miami International Airport has opened its new central collections plaza, which should make its parking garages easier to use.

The plaza allows credit card use in both automated and staffed booths. The $22 million project, a year and a half in construction, offers 16 exit lanes and six new entry lanes in both of the main garages, called Dolphin and Flamingo.

Customers using a credit card insert it into a terminal upon entering the garage. The card is returned, but no cardboard ticket is issued. Upon exiting, the customer uses the credit card in an exit terminal, and can pay either cash or credit at a staffed cashier booth, or with the card at an automated kiosk.
