12. FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions
How long is the card valid after the guest has checked out?
After the guest has checked out, the card will be valid for 30 minutes. This means that the guest has 30 minutes to drive past the gate. However, this works differently when the standard check-out time of an accommodation type is approaching. For example: the check-out time of an accommodation type is 11 am. At 10:45 am a guest shows up at reception to check out. This means the guest only has 15 minutes, instead of the standard 30 minutes, to drive past the gate.
