The present general terms and conditions of use are online on the website www.euroairport.com.

The Service enables the reservation of parking spaces via the website www.euroairport.com, for the parking spaces on which the Service is based, for a given person, a specific date and defined duration. This offer is based on a number of spaces offered within the constraints of the available spaces at the time of the application.
During the reservation process, Users can enter their vehicle registration number so the barriers can open automatically provided the number plate is easy to read.
Clause 3. SCOPE
Access to the Service is reserved for Users wishing to park a private vehicle (land motor vehicle with a maximum of 9 seats, built and designed to transport people, with at least 4 wheels and permissible gross laden weight under 3.5 tonnes), maximum length of 5 metres and maximum height of 1.90 metres.
Clause 4. RESERVATION TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Users certify they are physical persons of legal age acting on their own behalf or for a legal person they are duly authorised to represent. They declare they have full capacity to contract.
Users of the Service complete the required fields in the application form on the website and accept the present GTCU. Basel-Mulhouse Airport reserves the right to reject applications containing inaccurate or incomplete information.
Reservations will take effect subject to:
- Availability of the car park
- Availability of parking spaces
- Acceptance of payment by User’s bank
- User’s prior acceptance of the GTCU
Reservations can be made up to six (6) months before the date the vehicle enters the car park: No reservations are taken two (2) hours before the date of entry, depending on the conditions stipulated for each product.
Subject to the stipulations in Clause 5 herein concerning overstays, parking duration is the duration defined by the departure and arrival dates provided by the User on the online reservation site:
− date and time of departure = date and time of entry to the car park entered in the reservation
− date and time of arrival = date and time of exit from the car park entered in the reservation
By accepting the GTCU, Users expressly accept that performance of the Service may begin before the end of the withdrawal period contemplated in Clause 8.2 below.
Reserved parking duration may not exceed thirty (30) consecutive days. Successive reservations for continuous periods are forbidden.
When the reservation form has been duly completed, the reservation validated and payment made, Users receive a confirmation email at the email address indicated during the reservation: this email contains a summary of the order, the Flash QR code for presentation to enter the car park and the invoice for the order.
Parking spaces can be accessed at the earliest two (2) hours before the dates and entry time indicated on the reservation, depending on car park opening hours.
Clause 5. VALIDITY OF THE RESERVATION
5.1 Car park
Reservations can only be used for car parks intended for this purpose and indicated as such on the reservation website.
Users may only park their vehicles in the parking space selected during the reservation.
Breach of the terms and conditions of the reservation or improper use of the car parks shall not entitle Users to any refund.
No refund shall be paid if the vehicle enters the car park outside the stipulated time slot or under any other terms. In particular, any other method of access shall cause the reservation to become null and void without refund.
There shall be no refund on cars parked for a shorter time than that contemplated in the online reservation.
Basel-Mulhouse Airport reserves the right to change at any time the car parks available for reservation as well as the dates and duration of the Service.
5.2 Parking
When Users arrive at the car park entry barrier (at the indicated time), they present the optical scanner with the QR code emailed to them when they made the reservation, printed on paper beforehand or directly downloaded to an electronic communication device (smartphone, tablet, other).
Upon entry, the barrier issues Users with a ticket they must keep with them until the day they leave the car park: this ticket enables exit from the car park.
Users are free to park where they want inside the reserved car park, subject to the stipulations in Clause 3 in compliance with the areas marked on the ground and the places reserved for people with reduced mobility. Upon exit, provided the timeslot has not been exceeded, Users insert the parking ticket into the scanner at the exit barrier in order to leave the car park. The parking ticket is no longer usable and exit is final. Users who exceed the timeslot must pay for excess time before they leave at the exit barrier (French sector only) or at the automatic pay stations.
The confirmation email sent is strictly personal and confidential. It contains a QR code which it is strictly prohibited to reproduce or forge. It may not be assigned or transferred to a third party. Basel-Mulhouse Airport accepts no liability for tickets used by a third party or used fraudulently.
In the event of difficulties, Users may call a Basel-Mulhouse Airport agent (hereinafter ”Agent”) on the interphones located at car park entrance and exit barriers. Agent then verifies the User’s reservation on the database before permitting access or entry to the car park.
Basel-Mulhouse Airport authorises early arrivals two hours (2h) in advance and exits are authorised subject to compliance with the timeslot indicated on the reservation confirmation email (end of the paid timeslot). After these times, overstays will be invoiced according to the charges defined in Clause 7 below. If an overstay enters a new charging period, that period must be paid for in full.
Basel-Mulhouse Airport cannot be held liable for any overstay at the reserved parking space. Users must allow sufficient time between their flight arrival time and exit from the car park as well as journey time and turn round times for the car parks operating with a shuttle service.
All exits from the car park are final.
Users must therefore allocate sufficient time between their flight arrival time and exit from the car park (conveyance to the airport, delay at baggage reclaim, waiting time for the shuttle, etc.).
Basel-Mulhouse Airport cannot be held liable for overstays of reserved timeslots due to external events or their consequences.
Clause 6. FINAL CONFIRMATION
The different stages in the reservation are detailed throughout the reservation process on the Basel-Mulhouse Airport website.
Users are informed of Service characteristics and availability.
The contract is validated through the “double click” procedure. Users may at any time before confirming the order verify the details of the reservation, the total price and correct any errors.
After having seen and accepted the GTCU by ticking the box “I have read and accept the general terms and conditions of use” User finalises and confirms the reservation.
User then receives a summary of the reservation information in an automatic confirmation email after the payment confirmation page has been displayed. User is advised to file or print the confirmation email and certificate of payment.
Any new reservation by User will not be accepted until User has paid any amounts due on previous reservations in full.
Clause 7. CHARGE AND PAYMENT TERMS AND CONDITIONS
The Service is paid for at the time of the order and only by bank card, through a secure payment system.
Cards accepted for payment are listed on the website.
Users explicitly acknowledge they are entitled to use the bank card used to make the payment. The amount debited is the amount corresponding to the characteristics of the Service (date, duration, car park, options, any administrative fees, etc.).
