Airports are evolving quickly to meet the expectations of today’s travelers—and yet, many airport parking operations are stuck in the past. Long lines at payment kiosks, outdated ticketing systems, and confusing signage all contribute to a poor first and last impression for passengers. As airports invest in creating seamless experiences inside the terminal, the journey begins and ends in the parking lot.

At Vend, we believe the future of airport parking is not just about where travelers park—it's about how they park. With modern technology, airport operators can unlock new levels of convenience, efficiency, and revenue. Here’s how Vend is helping airports transform the traveler experience from curb to gate and back again.

🚗 Frictionless Entry and Exit

Nobody wants to fumble for a paper ticket after a red-eye flight. Vend replaces outdated gate systems with license plate recognition (LPR) and mobile payments, allowing travelers to enter and exit without rolling down their windows. This touchless experience reduces wait times and gets people on their way faster—especially during peak travel periods.

💸 Dynamic Pricing for Peak Travel Times

Holiday travel? Spring break? Business rush hours? Vend’s flexible pricing tools help airport parking operators optimize rates based on demand, time of day, or special events. That means more revenue per space without lifting a finger—and a pricing model that reflects the true value of your facility.

📊 Real-Time Data and Smart Reporting

With Vend, you’re no longer flying blind. Our real-time dashboard gives operators insight into occupancy, length of stay, revenue performance, and customer behavior. Know which lots are filling up, when peak times hit, and where to adjust resources—all from a single dashboard.

🧠 Flexible Integrations

Vend is built to integrate with the rest of your airport tech stack—from shuttle tracking and wayfinding apps to loyalty programs and EV charging networks. Whether you’re running a regional airport or an international hub, Vend helps your systems speak the same language.

💡 Flexible Parking Options for Every Traveler

Not all travelers are the same—so why offer a one-size-fits-all parking experience? With Vend, airport operators can provide a range of parking options tailored to different needs.

• Single-visit parking for occasional travelers.
• Monthly or membership-style plans for frequent flyers, business travelers, or airline staff.

This flexibility allows you to serve a wider audience while building loyalty and recurring revenue through customizable parking subscriptions. Plus, it’s all managed through Vend’s easy-to-use platform, so travelers can update their preferences or renew their plans with a few taps.

🌎 A Better First and Last Impression

For most travelers, the parking lot is the first and last part of their airport journey. With Vend, airports can make sure that experience is fast, simple, and frustration-free. That’s not just good for the traveler—it’s good for your reputation, your operations, and your bottom line.
