So I got a gold card but it does not have any pay as you go credit on it. So if I want to make use of the parking can I tag in with a card that has no credit and then load it at the station or must I park on a yellow line outside and go and load first then use the parking?

I never used the parking before and just go and load in the station when I need to. :confused:
 
For the first hour but after that the non rail user is R100 so that is considerably more than the R20 rail user fee.

Yes the gold card. It only charges you when you exit the parking, so you tag into the parking with the card, load money, do your train trips, then tag out when you leave the parking all with the same card.

You must use the same card for everything as that is how the discounts for combining trips and so on are calculated.

You will need to take a ticket on the first morning and load money and use your gautrain card to pay the ticket

You can only tag into the parking with your gold card if it has minimum R20 on it

Also note gautrain gold cards expire after 3 years of non use

Mine has R16 on it and I tag in regularly with it.
 
Just to update no minimum is required to enter the parking. Had zero balance and the boom opened. Loaded money on the card did my train trips and paid only R20 when exiting the parking.
