MIA installs quick-pay parking

Miami International Airport has installed self-service kiosks that allow passengers to pre-pay for their parking.

MIA Quick Pay stations allow passengers to pre-pay for their parking inside the garage and pass through the exit lane without stopping, thanks to license-plate recognition. The Quick Pay stations are now available at the main entrances to both the Dolphin and Flamingo parking garages on the ground, first, and third levels.

Travellers now take their parking ticket with them when they park and then use it to pay at the Quick Pay station when they return to the garage. Pay options include all major credit and debit cards, cash, Apple Pay, Samsung Pay, and Google Wallet. When Quick Pay customers get to MIA’s exit lanes, they insert their pre-paid ticket into the ticket reader to exit within seconds.

A new parking guidance system is also assisting drivers with finding available parking spaces. Camera sensors installed above the garage’s driving lanes detect available spaces and light-up LED lights green for open spaces and red for occupied ones. LED space-available signs installed at each decision point direct parkers to quickly find lanes and levels where there are available spaces.
