most expensive & lowest parking charges

















they highlighted the exorbitantly high charges for parking at some australian international airports; to be fair, the media should also make known that some of the lowest levied charges are also found in australia.

"according to the government statement, short term car parking fees at australian airports range from $4 in adelaide to $13 in sydney. jfk international airport in new york charges $6.55, while heathrow in london is $8.50."


what i like about this place is the choice that they give you. for example, my friend's daughter can opt to pay an exorbitant rate to park in the city or park for free next to the railway station and take the train to the city. to enjoy these savings, she drives to the car park next to the huntingdale station at 6.00 a.m. and takes a free ride on the train to the city.

nearly all railway stations have a car park adjacent to it, where you can park the car the whole day without paying a cent. to reap this benefit, you have to be 'the early bird to catch the worm'.

i was so surprised when we drove to the market at dandenong town the other day. the charge for parking for one hour..... 20 cents. if you still want to save the 20 cents, you can park for free slightly further away.

at most of the shopping complexes, you do not have to worry about parking charges. they do not charge at all although they do limit the duration you can park at the same car park, usually the limit is about two hours.
