General Service Terms and Conditions of Use
1. Acceptance of Terms and Conditions (T&Cs)
The online parking space booking service is provided by TA – Toscana Aeroporti S.p.A., with registered office in via del Termine 11, 50127 Firenze, in accordance with the following Terms and Conditions. To use the service, users must accept these T&Cs. Making a booking constitutes the full acknowledgement and acceptance of the T&Cs. TA reserves the right to modify these T&Cs at any time and without prior notice. Users may consult the current T&Cs - as described on this page and periodically updated by TA - at any time.
2. Description of service
2.1 TA currently provides the following services to users:
• The option to book a parking space online for the P2 car park, managed by TA, at Amerigo Vespucci Airport.
Payment for this service is made according to the charges published by TA. Within the car parks, spaces may not be numbered - therefore the user will not be assigned a specific space, but availability of a space will be guaranteed to them for each successful booking. There may be limited spaces available for booking, which only constitute a portion of the total spaces in car parks managed by TA. The minimum parking time available for booking is 24 hours. Bookings for periods of less than 24 hours are not permitted or accepted. Users must complete their booking at least 6 hours before the parking start time. The parking space will be reserved for a maximum of 24 hours following the start time as indicated by the user on the booking form. After this time, TA reserves the right to cancel the booking.
2.2 Users may book up to a maximum of three months in advance of the start date of parking.
2.3 Users acknowledge and accept that the service offered does not include surveillance or safekeeping of the parked vehicle. Prior to accepting these T&Cs, the user declares to have understood that surveillance or safekeeping of the vehicle does not form part of the service, and that TA does not accept any responsibility for damages to or theft of/from the parked vehicle.
2.4 TA will provide booking confirmation to users via email, which includes a PIN number that users need to enter on a keypad provided at one (or more) or the car park entrances. A ticket will then be issued automatically. This ticket should be kept safe by the user to allow them to exit the car park by inserting it at the exit barrier. If the PIN number is not recognised, users should contact car park staff at one of the manned payment points.
2.5 The user acknowledges and accepts that if the parking area booked by the user is not available on that day, TA may move them to another area of the same or superior category to that originally booked.
2.6 The service purchased by the user is not transferable either to another user or to another car park. It is only valid for the date, time, price, area and specific airport as described on the order summary page before the user confirms their order (and on the confirmation email).
2.7 Parking charges are displayed in euros (€) and are available on TA official websites http://www.aeroporto.firenze.it. Charges are subject to change. Charges displayed are only valid at the time of purchase. The number of “days” (24-hour periods) paid for by the user will be calculated based on the times selected at the time of purchase. If the exit time from the car park differs from that selected by the user at the time of purchase by more than 60 (sixty) minutes, the user will be charged the regular (non-pre-booked) rate for the excess time. This must be paid by the user at the appropriate payment point before exiting the car park. It should be acknowledged that this condition will be applied regardless of the reason for the overstay, as long as this has not been caused by negligence on the part of TA parking management.
2.8 Once the user has entered the car park, they must follow the instructions received in the confirmation email. The user must read the parking regulations carefully before placing their online order. These are published on the website and are also displayed near car park entrances. The user declares to accept both these T&Cs and the parking regulations.
2.9 The user acknowledges that they should arrive at the car park with plenty of time before their flight check-in. They should also allow enough time to get to the passenger terminal from the car park, and that this may vary depending on the car park chosen. The user should consider the time necessary to find and reach the car park, take out luggage, reach the passenger terminal and allow for any other unexpected events. The user accepts full responsibility for calculating the time necessary to enter the car park and reach the passenger terminal. The user acknowledges that TA declines any responsibility for any increase in the time necessary to carry out the above due to unusual circumstances or higher volumes of traffic. It is the user’s responsibility to take this into account and arrive at the car park with plenty of time before their flight check-in.
2.10 Telepass users should take care to remove/mask the relevant equipment, or use the non-Telepass enabled entrances, in order to avoid being charged the full rate (as indicated at the entrance to the car park). In the event of a user being charged via Telepass, TA will not issue a refund.
