It’s true that prices around the world are very high…
To park for an hour, the rate has been increased by… 100%. An increase of this magnitude is bound to arouse a great deal of public discontent. There isn’t even a free half-hour, as there is in some car parks. In the long-term car park, prices have quadrupled. You have to pay 14,000 francs (179 Australian dollars) for one week and 48,000 francs (614 Australian dollars) for four weeks.
A car park as full as an egg
The ADT company that set the rates defends itself by saying that the prices had not been changed since 2014 and that they were abnormally low. It should be pointed out that the 1,100-space car park is very often full. At these prices, it risks emptying quickly.
Significantly cheaper in New Caledonia
New Caledonians will be pleased to know that car park prices in La Tontouta are extraordinarily low compared with Tahiti… The first twenty minutes are free. The next hour is 200 francs ($2.5 aus). For more than two hours, the price is 100 francs ($1.2 aus) per hour. For more than 24 hours, the extra day costs 1000 francs (12.8$ aus) per day. For how long?
