Contactless Airport Parking

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Raleigh-Durham International Airport Offers Safer Parking Options

— January 12, 2021 — World
Carolina's Raleigh-Durham International Airport has implemented contactless parking to help prevent the spread of COVID-19 and protect its staff and passengers.

Using ParkRDU, the airport allows travelers to book their parking spot online, which they're able to access using the unique QR code that's been shared with them. Digital kiosks are set up outside of the airport's parking facilities, where travelers scan their codes before entering. Should the code not work, or they otherwise need assistance, customers can activate a designated button that will connect them with a staff member who will be able to help them.

In addition to providing an effective, safe, and reliable parking service, ParkRDU also shares discounted rates with users so they can save on their parking costs.
