car hire to manchester airport, still concerned. news channel 8's jamel lanee' joins us now where this new garage is already being used.

jamal? reporter: it is. people are loving it already. but again like you said, it has opened up this morning and the rows are filling up. a lot of people are still wondering will this be enough space?

it's the newest addition to clearwater beach. the pelican walk parking garage is open for business. but not everyone close by sees it as an opportunity. looks much better than i had anticipated. i'm just hoping that it doesn't

create any problems. reporter: billy day owns the east shore resort across the street. he is not convinced this will solve issues on the beach or halt congestion. especially now on his street poinsettia avenue where his

garage is to try to get our employees -- over 10,000 of them -- to use this facility. reporter: visitors are already living it. it's convenient but it was crazy. it was packed. we circled for five or six

times. decided to do something else. she saw the garage. reporter: what you're looking at are the daily rates but parking passes monthly -- monthly passes are available. the mayor did say eventually they want to look at getting

parking maybe by the marina or adding another parking garage somewhere else. those plans are nowhere in the near future. josh? but don't lose your ticket. 60 bucks.

now, spring break is here.

what other parking suggestions do tourists have? reporter: officials are
