Anyone well-acquainted with the city of Turnhout knows there have been parking problems for years now. The number of drivers who need to get to the centre of the city to live, work or for leisure and access to services has been growing from year to year. Consequently, there is enormous traffic pressure on the inner city. With the construction of a second event hall for the cultural centre ‘the Warande’ the need for extra parking facilities became an even more crucial issue.

In 2005 a public tender was issued. In May 2006 the project was awarded to the VINCI Park - MBG - Van de Heyning consortium. On November 8 last, the franchise agreement was signed for the construction and running of a three-story underground parking lot which can accommodate 420 cars and will also house a bicycle storage facility. The Parking will be at the Cultural Centre Warande Turnhout and will be accessible through the Kasteeldreef.

Within the consortium, MBG and Vandeheyning will be in charge of the construction and VINCI Park will look after the running.

The parking rate in the City Centre is lowered to 0,50€ per hour, which means that the entire Centre to the Leie Bridge will have the same rate.
The parking rate in the ‘Barakken’ remains 1,-€ per hour. However, the parking times are generalized from 9:00 to 12:00 and from 14:00 to 18:00, always for a maximum of two hours.
The parking rate for half a day will be 17,50€ (iso 15,-€), but that rate is not applicable for anyone parking correctly. The free 15-minute-ticket remains.

Started in Antwerpen in 2006, the system is already being used by some 350 city citizens, companies and organisations. Following the cooperation with Q-Park, cambio and VINCI Park have now also decided to join forces. This cooperation results in a new location for 3 cars in the city centre, close to the Mechelseplein, Theaterplein and the historic centre. Parking organisation VINCI Park willingly provided the necessary parking lots. Sheltered from weather and wind extremes, they will in the medium term also be the ideal location to accomodate larger car classes from the cambio range.

Mr Patrick Lesseine, VINCI Park : ”It is a general trend that the mobility issue is undergoing quite dramatic changes. Our customers’ expectations have changed significantly and the share of public transport, car sharing, bicycle usage and other alternatives continues to grow. VINCI Park has not waited to adjust its vision and strategy accordingly : quality, comfort, security and above all service have become top p riorities in our parking facilities. We have not forgotten other road users either, as is illustrated by our cooperation with public transport, our bicycle sheds etc. The cooperation with cambio therefore also perfectly fits in with the vision and strategy of VINCI Park. We will continue to make every effort to stay true to our slogan. We did not invent parking, but we aim to give it an extra dimenson. “

Mr Geert Gisquière, cambio Vlaanderen: ”For those who live in a city like Antwerpen and only occasionally use their cars, cambio offers an interesting alternative for the privatly-owned car (either as sole car or as ‘2nd car’). Cambio therefore continues to work on the expansion of its car fleet in Antwerpen. The aim is to have at least one location in all districts in the medium term. In this way, all Antwerp citizens will in future have access to a cambio location at walking or cycling distance from their homes.”

About cambio
Cambio car sharing is a flexible formula that provides users (private persons, organisations and businesses) with round-the-clock access to a car at various locations in the city. Cambio customers can make free use of the car in exchange for a fee. The fee is based on usage (time and kilometres), and the user can forget about fixed costs, insurance, MOT and servicing. Cambio car-sharing is not only comfortable and cost-effective, cambio users also contribute to a better living environment. Ideal for people who drive little or as an alternative for the second family car… although cambio car-sharing may also provide an excellent solution for organisations and companies. Cambio car-sharing is an initiative of De Lijn, Taxistop and VTB-VAB. Cambio recently welcomed its 5000th user in Belgium.

This joint venture has proven to be beneficial to all parties. Cooperation between VINCI Park and the town of Maldegem is excellent. People looking for parking space are more than pleased with the policy implemented and so are the traders. The municipal police service also considers it to be a positive development.

An attractive, and especially an informative website, is a conditio sine qua non to conduct business in a fast and powerful fashion. And this also goes for a parking space provider. To look after all its commercial contacts with its private and professional clients even more successfully, VINCI Park Belgium asked Thisconnect / Pixelman to create a new website. Aside from its attractive look, the site not also boasts a very informative window but also an interactive window which shall be operational very soon.
