Shopping mall parking fees explained

While South African consumers often only think about their parking fees when it comes time to pay for them, many considerations go into how and why these fees are set.

“Often people pay a car guard R5 anyway so we try to substitute that. Hopefully, it also makes it easier for people to get in and out and it makes it easier for people not to have to search for change,” he said.

No I don't. I pay them R0, seeing I'm already paying handouts and taxes.

So they charge to attract customers?
BS.

Its just corporate greed.

It’s actually the opposite that drive the 0-1hr traffic.. ie get people in and out.. kinda why most places with grocers offer it.0

First hour free where I shop and that's ideal, any longer and I'd end up spending more.

I go to Canal Walk often. I would fall in the 0-2 hours tier most frequently. That’s R10.

I pop into the PnP & purchase a milkshake or Yogi Sip. The barcoded slip allows free parking for the 1st 1.5 hours. 90% of the time I pay no parking.

The malls I frequent, don't ask parking fees. I tend to ignore the rest. Don't want to bother or force myself on the rich in their Private Wealth glory and all.
