| For the first time, the Jacksonville Aviation Authority (JAA) is offering reserved parking for Economy Parking Lot 3 at Jacksonville International Airport (JAX) this holiday season. Travelers who make a reservation are guaranteed a spot when they arrive between noon on December 23 and 7:00 p.m. on December 24. For a flat, prepaid $25 fee, vehicles can remain in this lot beginning at noon on December 23 through January 4, 2010. Reservations can be made by contacting the airport’s parking management company at (904) 741-2277. No refunds will be available. The $25 fee is also payable with cash or credit card upon entry, but this special event lot will operate on a first-come first-serve basis. Free shuttle service is available during the time the lot is open. Vehicles that remain in Economy Lot 3 after January 4 will be towed at the owner’s expense. JAA is also offering a discounted rate of $8.00 per day from December 20 through January 4 in the Daily Surface Lot. That’s a savings of $2.00 each day. Travelers parking in the Daily Surface Lot can be transported to and from the airport by the JAA’s new eco-friendly electric carts. Other parking options include Economy Lots 1 and 2 ($6.00 per day), Daily Garage ($12.00 per day) or the Hourly Garage ($16.00 per day). All prices include tax. JAA recommends that travelers who meet and greet their families/friends use the hourly garage, if available. Another option is to use the free courtesy waiting lot, located next to the JAA’s administration building, until family/friends arrive. The airport’s parking management company provides customer assistance with locating lost vehicles, inflating tires and providing vehicle jumpstarts.
