Airport parking: less complicated, more expensive

But of course:

Drivers at Houston's two airports will find it easier, less complicated and slightly more expensive to park at Bush Intercontinental and Hobby airports, under new rates that take effect today [last Friday, July 1].

Hourly parking will now be allowed in all terminal garages, but it will cost an extra $1 — from $12 to $13 — to park for five to 24 hours at both airports.

The Houston Airport Board on Thursday also abolished the controversial $30 fee for parking more than five hours in one prime area at Bush Intercontinental: the close-in garage at Terminal C-West.

The new rate plan eliminates a "daily schedule" that required some drivers to pay $3 for parking any period of time up to three hours.

"We do have ample parking for passengers and visitors using all terminals, but this change helps make it more uniform throughout the hourly parking complex," said airport spokesman Roger Smith. "It's a very minimal increase, and we in Houston still enjoy some of the lowest-priced, big-city airport parking that you will find anywhere."

They couldn't make it less complicated AND less expensive, now could they?
