HOTEL CAR PARK MANAGEMENT

 

Your hotel’s car park is more than a place for guests to store their cars - it’s where they get their first impression of your hotel.

Before they even step through the doors to your lobby, your guests will already have an idea of what to think of your hotel, solely based on their experience in your car park. An overcrowded, chaotic, and unsafe car park is sure to leave a bad taste in any guest’s mouth, and the reviews they leave will reflect that.

To make sure your car park is up to scratch, it’s important to have an effective car park management system in place. In this post, we cover everything you need to know about managing your hotel’s car park the right way.

WHY DO YOU NEED OUR HOTEL CAR PARK MANAGEMENT SERVICES?

 

Overcrowding is a big risk for car parks, especially if your hotel is located somewhere busy, like by a beach or town centre.

Without the threat of fines, non-guests will quickly start filling your car parking spaces, and guests that have already checked out are much more likely to overstay.

Soon there will be no spaces left for new guests to park, which can be a huge hassle if there is no convenient parking nearby. Guests will be even unhappier if they have no choice but to pay for parking elsewhere.

There are a few different systems you could set up to prevent this. Hotels would benefit most from an ANPR (Automatic Number Plate Recognition) system, which tracks which plates are registered and issues parking charges to unauthorised vehicles, or a Pay & Display, which would be ideal for hotels where guests (and possibly the general public) pay to store their car.

At Britannia Parking, we offer high-quality management systems for hotel car parks of all sizes, from small surface parks to multi-storeys.

Systems we install include:

• ANPR

• Pay & Display

• Manned patrols, linked to live tracking services

• Pay on Foot

We also provide specialist Park & Ride car park services. We have a fleet of buses and mini buses available for use, making travelling to popular spots much easier for guests. This can be a big selling point for your hotel, giving you the edge over other hotels in the area.

 

 

HOTEL SAFETY AND SECURITY CAR PARK MANAGEMENT SOLUTIONS

 

Because they are quiet and out of sight, car parks can be a magnet for criminal activity. Without proper security, your guests and staff can face theft, vandalism, and even violence.

No one wants to feel unsafe walking to their car at night. Repeated incidents can give your hotel a reputation as dangerous, which will turn potential guests off in droves. It may also attract more people with ill intent, leading to a vicious cycle.

The best way to keep your car park safe is to invest in an effective security system. Not only will the sight of cameras scare away criminals, but it will make your guests feel safer and more comfortable leaving their cars there.

Britannia Parking’s CCTV and control room services are the ultimate security solution for your car park. Our SIA-licensed operators offer 24/7 monitoring whether the park is opened or closed, and are always on hand to assist you if needed.

Other services we offer include:

• Remote control of Pay on Foot systems via a dedicated VPN

• Live patrol vehicle tracking and reporting

• Staff time and attendance system management

• Communications hub for the car park operations and transport division teams
