New airport parking facility opens

New

airport parking facility opens

The Parking

Spot, the fastest-growing near-airport parking facility in the United

States, will celebrate its grand opening this week.

The Parking

Spot, formerly Park Space, offers more than 1,200 covered parking spaces,

more than any other near-airport parking company servicing Hartsfield

Airport, according to company officials.

The facility

has a total of 2,430 spaces with both open parking and covered parking.

It covers 36 acres and provides shuttle service in the Parking Spot's

distinctive yellow and black spotted shuttles directly from the guest's

car to the airport terminal with luggage assistance.

Upon return,

the guests are picked up at the return terminal of the airport and dropped

off at their cars. In addition, a complimentary USA Today is given to

customers when they enter the facility. Cookies also are available as

a snack for the plane ride. The firm's staff will also provide battery

jump starts if needed, as well as tire inflation and tire change assistance.

Parking rates

are $9 per day for open parking and $12.50 per day for covered parking.

Prices are less than main terminal parking at Hartsfield Airport. Corporate

discounts and frequent parking programs also are available.

"With

the rapid growth in air travel at Hartsfield, the time is right for

the Parking Spot to supply a needed service of near-airport parking,"

said Kernell Watson, Parking Spot's facility manager.

"In

addition to offering state-of-the-art parking services, we are providing

a stress-free parking solution where you can catch a flight within minutes."

The firm

has 12 facilities serving nine airports in seven cities. They are currently

in Dallas (three locations serving DFW and Love Field), Atlanta, Houston

(two locations serving Bush Intercontinental and Hobby Airports), Kansas

City, Los Angeles, Oklahoma City and St. Louis (three locations). For
