New approach to paying for parking at Miami Airport

Travelers now have a quicker way home from parking at Miami International Airport with MIA Quick Pay stations, self-service kiosks that allow passengers to pre-pay for their parking inside the garage and zip through the exit lane with 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.

Travelers now simply take their parking ticket with them when they park and then use the ticket at the Quick Pay station to pay 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. 

“MIA Quick Pay now provides our airport customers a faster, more convenient way to bypass the line and get on their way without delay,” said Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava. “Congratulations to the MIA team for launching another customer service enhancement that improves our overall travel experience.” 

Forget where you park? Use the “Find My Car” feature at the Quick Pay station to enter your license plate number and view a map of where your vehicle is parked in the garage.

A new parking guidance system is now 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 as well.

“Our new parking system is the latest way that we are modernizing the entire passenger journey at MIA, from the cabin to the curb,” said Ralph Cutié, MIA Director and CEO. “From new passenger loading bridges to renovated bathrooms, elevators, escalators, and moving walkways, more exciting improvements are coming soon this year.”
