Overview

• The IAA issued the advisory on Tuesday, Sept. 2, urging departing travelers to avoid valet parking offers at Ben Gurion Airport.
• The authority says the services are unauthorized and illegal, with providers described as unprofessional.
• Complaints to the airport’s unit detail cars returned damaged or driven hundreds or thousands of kilometers, with traffic and parking violations recorded.
• The IAA states it bears no liability for losses or fines and that anyone choosing the illegal service assumes the full risk.
• Planned measures include increased enforcement, legal suits, removal of violators from the premises, and guidance to use official lots with a free shuttle to terminals.
