One benefit I can see from this:

Car owners probably drop off their car and then get valeted into a spot.

This means the car is started and ran for a few minutes before being shut down again, draining some precious battery power that isn't recharged in time.

Repeat when the owner requests the car's return.

This may make the difference between a car that starts when its owner returns vs not.



This seems like a non-problem. Your car battery is going to be full when you arrive at the airport. Two extra starts isn't going to cause a problem.


Apparently some modern cars with a lot of electronics do actually have a problem keeping their battery alive for just two weeks in an airport garage!
