I’ve had to rewrite this post in a first ever on Globetrottingcouple.com

But without going into details I took my car to an airport parking facility only to return and find a dent. After a lengthy delay in investigation it was discovered that somehow the dent was on the car when I got there, I still have no ideas as to when or where the dent appeared.

But the whole ordeal (and the continued barrage of phone calls) has raised some concerns about what happens when you leave your vehicle at an airport parking facility.

When you drive in,your car is on video. Yet unlike hiring a car when you check over the car prior to departure, at the Airport Parking Facility you’re rushed through, papers are signed and keys are left. On the numerous occasions that we have used the various Airport Parking Facilities none have ever gone through the terms and conditions and explained that you park with them at your own risk.

After reading the terms and conditions of one of the Airport Parking Facilities I was surprised to find that should damage occur to my car whilst in their care they could just wipe their hands of it.

So I looked at the terms and conditions of various Airport Parking Facilities in Brisbane where we frequent and here’s what we found.

Remember the terms and conditions are listed on their websites,we cannot post here due to copyright restrictions.

In random order here’s a list of Brisbane Airport Parking Facilities and links to their terms and conditions.

Look out for the clause that mentions that they can move your car off the premises (no CCTV) should the need arise.

We may without notice enter your vehicle, drive or move it within or outside this car park, including to allow any additional parking services or otherwise at our discretion as circumstance may necessitate.

My car looked as though a towbar had hit my front spoiler!

the video footage clearly showed the damage to my car as I entered the premises! – so now the mystery is who damaged my car?
