With hurricane season around the corner, it’s time to complete all of the necessary preparations to ensure that your assets are protected in the event of a storm. Having a plan for your vehicle is essential and you can check this off your list by pre-booking a space in Camana Bay’s multi-storey Solaris Avenue parking garage. For a nominal, one-time fee, you can rest assured that no matter how many storms threaten our island this season, your vehicle will be stowed on high ground.

“CI$100 covers your vehicle for the entire 2013 hurricane season and all you have to do is drop your car off when the National Hurricane Centre issues a Hurricane Watch and pick it up 12 hours after the All Clear,” explained Derek Haines, Dart’s Senior Security Manager.  “During what can potentially be a very frantic and stressful time, it definitely helps to have one less thing to worry about.”

Mr. Haines went on to explain that Dart Realty wants to ensure that everyone who is interested in purchasing a spot has equal opportunity to do so. “Due to the finite number of spaces, we have decided to offer them on a first come, first served basis with a limit of two spaces per person,” he said. “Spaces will be available for purchase starting May 1st and if last year’s response is any indication, they are sure to go quickly.”

It is important to note that owners will not be able to access their vehicles once they are dropped off so any valuable items should be removed before leaving your car. “We have an experienced team of valets who park the cars with great care,” Mr. Haines assured. “They literally park them end to end, filling every free

Space on the upper floors of the garage, including the bays and ramps, which makes it impossible to access the vehicles until they are transferred to the adjacent surface parking lot after the storm has passed.”

Residents should also be aware that they need to have their own transportation arranged to take them back home or to a shelter after they drop their vehicle off at Camana Bay.
