Though the public car parks are owned by Airports Company South Africa, the management is contracted out to a specialist car park operator. Katanga Parking Services is the company contracted by Airports Company South Africa to manage the public car parks at Cape Town International Airport. This also includes administering the valet services.

Long Stay Parking Special Needs Passengers
Cape Town International Airport introduced a Long Stay Parking option for Special Needs Passengers (SNP) on the ground floor of Parkade P1. This is to ensure that a long stay parking option is also available to our SNP and that it is closer to the terminal for ease of access for the users.
Long Stay parking is the most economic product for passengers leaving their vehicles for more than five days. In consultation with QuadPara Association of South Africa (QASA), we have introduced Long Stay parking for special needs passengers.

A prepaid access card will be issued and users just have to upload money on the card. Parking rates will be calculated as the same rates of the general Long Stay Parking in P5.
All parking facilities are equipped with state of the art CCTV cameras and both Parkades have a system that displays the number of parking bays available.
