Common Risks
The primary risk in the airport parking industry comes from unregulated “rogue” operators who lure customers with prices that are often 50% lower than the market average. These unauthorized firms frequently cut corners by:
Unsecured Parking
Instead of using gated compounds, rogue traders may dump vehicles on residential streets, industrial wastelands, or open fields where they are vulnerable to theft and damage.
Insurance Gaps
Many unofficial drivers are not covered by professional indemnity or road risk insurance, leaving you liable if an accident occurs.
Unauthorized Use
There have been documented cases of rogue operators using customer vehicles for personal errands or "joyriding" while the owner is abroad.
