Over the past decade, rideshare apps like Uber and Lyft have transformed how travelers get to and from the airport. For airport parking operators, that’s meant a noticeable shift in curbside traffic—and, in many cases, a sharp drop in parking revenue.

But here’s the good news: travelers still want to drive themselves when it’s convenient, affordable, and stress-free. The real challenge? Making airport parking feel as effortless as summoning a rideshare with a tap of a button.

At Vend, we help airports modernize their parking experience to meet travelers where they are—digitally. With the right technology, you can win back curbside traffic, increase parking revenue, and create a better overall experience for your guests.

Here’s how.

🚀 Turn Airport Parking Into a Tech-Enabled Experience

Ride-share apps offer speed, predictability, and simplicity. Vend helps airport parking offer the same. With mobile-first tools like digital reservations, license plate recognition (LPR), and touchless payments, parking becomes less of a hassle and more of a value add.

No paper tickets. No lines. Just park and go.

💰 Compete on Convenience, Not Just Price

Most travelers assume rideshare is easier—especially when airport parking still feels like a gamble. With Vend, travelers can:

• Reserve a spot in advance
  
  
• Pay securely through their phone
  
  
• Enter and exit without pulling a ticket or stopping at a gate
  
  

You’re not just offering a parking space. You’re offering peace of mind.

📈 Unlock Dynamic Pricing to Match Demand

Ride-share fares surge during holidays, flight delays, or bad weather. Why shouldn’t parking rates reflect demand, too?

Vend’s dynamic pricing engine lets airport operators adjust pricing based on peak hours, length of stay, and historical patterns—maximizing revenue and giving travelers pricing transparency in real time.

🎯 Offer Flexible Options to Fit Every Traveler

Ride-share is popular because it meets people where they are. With Vend, airport parking can too.

Offer:

• Hourly, daily, or long-term parking
• Pre-paid parking passes
• Subscription-style memberships for frequent flyers or airport staff

This flexibility helps you serve everyone from vacationers to road warriors—and keeps them coming back.

📊 Use Data to Understand (and Win Back) Your Customers

Want to know who’s parking, how often, and for how long? Vend’s real-time data and reporting tools give you insight into traveler behavior, helping you spot trends, improve operations, and tailor offers to frequent users.

No guesswork. Just actionable insights.

🧩 Integrate With the Entire Airport Ecosystem

Today’s traveler expects a seamless experience from check-in to takeoff. Vend integrates with your airport’s app, loyalty program, shuttle system, and more to make parking part of a connected journey—not an afterthought.

It’s Time to Bring Travelers Back to Your Lots

You don’t have to fight rideshare with cheaper prices alone. With the right parking technology, you can offer a better experience—one that’s easier, faster, and more reliable.

At Vend, we’re helping airports across the country modernize their parking operations, boost revenue, and win back the curb.
