            APCOA/STANDARD PARKING COMMENCES AN UNREGISTERED EXCHANGE
                         OFFER AND CONSENT SOLICITATION

CHICAGO, IL, November 21, 2001: APCOA/Standard Parking, Inc. ("APCOA/Standard
Parking") announced that yesterday it commenced an unregistered offer to
exchange its outstanding 9 1/4% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2008 ("9 1/4%
Notes") for either (i) $50.0 million (with a minimum of $45.5 million and a
maximum of $65.0 million) of its newly issued 14% Senior Subordinated Second
Lien Notes due 2006 ("14% Notes") plus the payment by exchanging bondholders of
additional cash to APCOA/Standard Parking, or (ii) its newly issued 18% Senior
Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock. In addition, APCOA/Standard Parking is
soliciting consents from holders of its 9 1/4% Notes to modify certain financial
and restrictive covenants to the indenture governing the 9 1/4% Notes. If
APCOA/Standard Parking changes the size of the exchange offer within the range
of $45.5 million to $65.0 million of 14% Notes issued, the amount of cash a
bondholder will have to pay to APCOA/Standard Parking and the amount of 14%
Notes such bondholder would receive will change.

APCOA/Standard Parking intends to use the $21.0 million cash proceeds expected
to be received from the exchange offer to, among other things, increase
liquidity, deleverage its balance sheet and reduce its cash interest expense.

The securities issued in the exchange offer will not be registered under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended and may not be sold in the United States
absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements.
The exchange offer is being made only to holders of 9 1/4% Notes who are either
qualified institutional buyers or institutional accredited investors.

This press release shall not constitute an offer to exchange or a solicitation
of an offer to exchange the securities issued in the exchange offer, nor shall
there be any exchange of the securities issued in the exchange offer in any
state in which such offer, solicitation or exchange would be unlawful prior to
registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state. Any
offer, if any at all, will be made only by means of an offering circular and
consent solicitation.

APCOA/Standard Parking has approximately 13,700 employees, and manages more than
1,950 airport and urban parking facilities in over 260 cities spanning 43 states
and three Canadian provinces.
