Drive through the barrier without inserting a ticket?
Hello everyone,
I was recently at Düsseldorf Airport (departure) dropping off my friend by car. And I pulled this ticket at the barrier.
When I got to the barrier to the exit, there was someone in front of me and his barrier was up and actually the barrier went down as soon as you drive through but that wasn't the case for him, his barrier stayed higher up and I drove through.
Do I have to expect an invoice etc.?
Thank you

Hello hassoo68,
So I know about airports where, when you take a ticket, the license plate is scanned and detected and assigned to the drawn ticket so that the car is "recognition" at the exit.
If you have paid the parking fee beforehand, then the barrier goes up by itself without having to put the ticket, because the system already knows that;
and if you were just a few minutes within the parking lot area to let someone get out, then this is free for a number of parking spaces, so that in this case the barrier also starts (or remains open in your case) without having to do anything before.
I can't say whether this is the case at Düsseldorf Airport (I wasn't there yet), but from the experience of other airports this could be a plausible explanation for me.
See, for example, "4.9 Automated license plate acquisition at parking garage entrances": https://www.munich-airport.de/datenschutzerklaerung-zum-datenschutz-376066#ba912e0b
All time good ride and greetings ðŸTM‚
Hi, thank you for the detailed explanation. Yes I was only 4min on site then I'm going straight. Something quiet in the area of free short-term parking.
Hello hassoo68,
Please, of course. 👍
Without knowing the airport in Düsseldorf, my first guess in the case described by you would actually be that your license plate is scanned there and merged with your ticket or the associated data (date, time and place of entry), and that in your case the barrier did not even go down again because the system recognized your license plate number and knew that you can run out for free.
So, and because I was interested, I asked the search engine briefly and how to expect the first hit proves that my guess seems to be true: https://www.ddorf-aktuell.de/2019/08/13/duesseldorf-zuegiges-parken-mit-kennzeichenmelde-am-airport-119158/
At all times good ride and good flight (the last of course not by car) and greetings ðŸTM‚
How do you think?
know it so that only load out, drop person costs nothing. the so-called waiting period.
I don't think your license plate was scanned. So no.
At some of the airports known to me, it is now standard that the license plate is scanned on entry and exit and is included in the handling of the parking process, see the link in the answer.
Subsequently, it seems that the airport in Düsseldorf is actually the case: https://www.ddorf-aktuell.de/2019/08/13/duesseldorf-zuegiges-parken-mit-kennzeichenmelde-am-airport-119158/
