On August 16, 2010, the Metropolitan Airports Commission (MAC) voted 10-3 in approval for the 150% increase to the per trip user fee charged to off-airport parking operators serving travelers flying out of the MSP Airport.
EZ Air Park is a family-owned, local business that has been serving the community since 1985. We have dedicated ourselves to providing economical, safe and convenient airport parking and shuttle services to our customers. We also employ over 40 people from Eagan and surrounding communities.
EZ Air Park will continue to run 'business as usual'. Furthermore, we will not be raising our daily rate in the foreseeable future.
We thank those that have supported us during these negotiations with the MAC and for your continued business over the past 25 years. We look forward to continuing the same service you have come to rely on for the next 25 years.

President, EZ Air Park, Inc.

The Metropolitan Airports Commission plans to Increase the Tax to your Parking
The Metropolitan Airport Plans to Increase the Tax to Your Parking!!
This is not the time to be raising taxes. At EZ Air Park we understand that. We also understand the financial pressures our customers face. Our customers have tightened their belts and so have we. We have held our rates.
Unfortunately, the non-elected politicians on the Metropolitan Airport Commission (MAC), who run the airport, don’t see it the same way. The MAC is proposing 150% increase in the fee all off-airport parking facilities pay. With tight budgets for all operators, this tax increase, if passed on August 16, 2010, could be detrimental to not only us but the general public.
Help us say, “No more!” to unjustified taxes. The best thing you can do to combat this tax increase is to take 1 minute of your time to call or email one of the people below. Call or email the Governor’s office and remind him that he promised no new taxes. Tell him or these legislators that you strongly oppose the increase tax that is being considered on off-airport parking facilities and that you intend to show your dissatisfaction at the voting booth when the time comes. That is how your call and your vote may mean something.
Let your voice be heard! Please contact any or all of the following:
Governor’s office - (800) 657-3717 or tim.pawlenty@state.mn.us
Sen. Kenneth Kalash (651) 297-8061 or sen.kenneth.kelash@senate.mn
Rep. Linda Slocum (651) 296-7158 or rep.linda.slocum@house.mn

EZ Air Park Celebrates 25 Years of Shuttle Service to MSP Airport
Necessity is the mother of invention. In 1985, the Twin Cities did not have an offsite airport parking facility. Out of necessity the founder, a frequent traveler, decided to invest in just such a business.
In his travels to Boston, he found the perfect example upon which he based EZ Air Park. The lot was designed to be a convenient, friendly, customer service oriented and affordable alternative to parking at the airport.
EZ Air Park began with 500 parking spaces and a great idea. Running continuously, 24/7, EZ Air Park operates multiple buses on their daily runs to the airport.
An active member of the community, EZ Air Park has participated with many local charities and fundraising events over their 25 years of residency in the Eagan community. Dedication to the community and their customers is the personal touch that customers note most often when asked why they continually park at EZ Air Park.
"Our customer focus has been our strong suit," states long-time manager Curt Callister. "We train our drivers and cashiers to greet people, offer to help with their luggage, and wish them a good trip. They are our priority. It shows too. Recently we installed an auto-entry and exit system, but many of our regulars still stop by the cashier's booth to chat and say hello. We even go so far as to send customer's luggage to them if they inadvertently forget it on a shuttle." EZ Air Park also provides emergency car start assistance.
EZ Air Park is one of the only privately, locally-owned offsite airport parking facilities in the Twin Cities Metro. Offering discounts to AAA, MERSC, corporations, senior citizens and military personnel, the drive to offer a convenient parking alternative for business and leisure travelers is a fundamental goal. EZ Air Park also offers a loyalty program which allows frequent travelers the opportunity to earn free parking.
Even during the busiest seasons, travelers can rest assured there will be a parking space waiting for them. In 25 years in business, EZ Air Park has never turned away a customer because the lot is too full.
The simplicity of the parking experience is a benefit customers appreciate. The tagline: Park, Ride, Relax sums up the experience. Close to the airport, convenient, efficient, helpful, friendly and on-time are all phrases EZ Air Park hears from their customers on a regular basis.
