Flight travelers often park their vehicles at the airport's parking lot, as it becomes easy to reach home after returning to the town at the same airport. However, proper care and security of the vehicles still remain a question, adding to the staggering bills they have to pay for parking the car.

A similar case occurred recently with a Delhi resident, Deepak Gosain, who parked his vehicle in the Multi-Level Car Parking (MLCP) facility of Terminal 3 of the Indira Gandhi International (IGI) Airport on August 17.

When Deepak returned on 26 August, he was handed a staggering bill of 5,770 for parking his car at the Delhi's IGI Airport, which comprised of 4,889.83 in parking fees and 880.17 in GST.

Not only was he surprised to see the bill, but he was heartbroken after seeing his damaged vehicle. The gate lock was broken, and the car had multiple scratches, reported News18.

Though he tried to complain, it was unheard by the parking staff, who already collected the parking fees.

Upset with his experience, he took to X and wrote, "it was the worst experience I’ve ever had🙃 Thr tagline is “safe and secure” bullshit"." In the video, he also showed the damages to his car, apart from the bill.

Reportedly, the cost of a round-trip ticket from Delhi to Lucknow on Air India Express on 3 September was just 5,672, less than his airport parking bill of 5,770.
