Airparks 1 star review on 6th September 2021

We paid £71.99 to park our car for 1 week at East midlands airport. On arrival we entered the car park, where we proceeded to drive around for 30 minutes unable to find an available space!?!? We called the number on our booking confirmation which continuously rang out with no answer until being cut off. In the end we had to park in a disabled space, and leave a note on the dashboard. We had no idea whether or not the car would be clamped, or we would have a parking ticket on our return. I have tried to email to express our disappointment since returning but cannot find an email address to use!!

I booked a parking space via the internet and paid for it in full. On arrival at the barrier my registration number was automatically read and I was issued with a ticket. On exiting the car park 12 days later I was told I owed about £280! This was subsequently reduced to £26 which had to be paid before I could leave. It seems that by mistake, I had entered the mid stay car park instead of the long stay. Whilst I accept this was my error, If your computers can read a number plate and issue a ticket, why could they have not informed me that I was at the wrong car park? This would have saved time, trouble, embarrassment and money on my part and a good booking system on your part.

I paid for parking prior to going on holiday. When arrived at airpark put card into machine to open barrier. Had to return to England a day early due to a death in the family. Put card into machine, barrier lifted and started to set off but heard a clicking so picked up the ticket which turned out to be a receipt for an extra £85.00 taken from my card. Seen as how we had a grieving widow and my father in laws ashes in the car I did not feel like stopping to sort it out. When I did contact airparks by phone I had to wait over a week and another email before the money was received. I will definately not recommend airparks again.

I followed the instructions to the letter but still got charged by the airports too. I still haven't had a refund.

Booked in to your Cardiff carpark, directions were not very clear, we eventually found the Airparks Carpark, all locked up! Panic stations! as It was 5.30am so I went into hotel next to carpark and luckily found someone who spoke broken english, he said that airparks carpark had closed about 3 months ago & they had taken over the hotel! We proceeded to Airport as time was now against us to catch our flight and went into the Long Stay Car park 2 at the airport (which is on left hand side as you drive past to the entrance, your directions says the carpark is on the right?) To my relief the barrier lifted so at that point I assumed that everything was ok? To my relief again the barrier lifted on our exit, so please could you make it clear on your directions that the Airparks carpark is at the airport on your left, not as directions say on the right. Thanks.

Your description of the service talks about meet on reception, car check and a valet to park. I felt this meant there would he no chance of other car doors or bad drivers damaging my car. In reality it's no better than a car park in fact worse. The row I parked in was very narrow and on my left the row was empty so some other car was going to park there with little room to open their doors and potential damage to my car. Also no one checked my car when I arrived they said it would be done after I had gone. By then it could be too late. I used the same service at Newcastle and felt I got what I paid for, but not this time.

Booked from a link sent to me as I have used air parks regularly. Only to find I was booked into the flying scot. They as it happened were FULLY booked . The woman in charge stated " don't know where everyone is going to really busy " Eh if we weren't travelling then you wouldn't be earning money !We were bumped to a low cost parking area they have roughly a mile from their main parking depot. We really had no option but to let them drop us off in my own car then allow them to park it NOT IDEAL ! We were instructed what to do on our return as concerns telling the driver we were to be taken to low cost parking for our car . Not happy but was determined not to let it spoil our week . We returned today phoned the number as instructed followed the instructions to leave our name and proceed to terminus 5 . You couldn't leave your name as the message machine was FULL ! We proceeded to terminus 5 to see the bus pull away. I then phoned at my own expense to be told we are a bit busy and a bus will arrive shortly. 15 mins later in the rain it arrived. The driver said he had to got to the main office as low and behold " it's a shambles and we are over booked by 50 cars and they have to follow me to low cost" as it turned out no one followed him because after waitin 20 mins he left due to a major snarl up with traffic in the main parking depot . When we did get to low cost after another 45 mins waiting cause they had no record of my car being there and eventually managing to get the guy on the phone at flying scots main depot we were told the car was there at the main depot all along ! A shambles!!!! On the whole a worse performance I have never had the misfortune to experience we were over an hour and a half late in returning home . Some CUSTOMERS didn't wait to be parked and went to the long stay at the airport itself. As your records will show I've used air parks for my parking a lot in the past.I may infuture just get dropped off and picked up by a friend or family member. I do not blame the guys working there but the greed of the people running it. They knew they were over booked the day before we flew so should have emailed or phoned to give us options on what to do. Not doing so tells me they are extremely incompetent or greedy or both . I am contemplating further action as it's a disgrace with modern communication as good as it is not being used . I was led to believe by a customer leaving this morning that parking at low cost is cheaper than at the main flying scot parking area . I intend to look into this soon . Regards Gerard Tobin

I was a little disappointed with the Airport car park service to be totally honest. It isn't particularly cheap and it isn't very reliable either. When I arrived back at the airport after my weekend away expecting just to be able to insert my card and everything to be simple after pre-paying I was faced with being told I owed even more by the machine. I have to say thankfully a member of staff did manage to sort the problem without too much inconvenience but it does kind of defeat the object of pre-paying for your ticket if this issue happens.

Waited over 40 minutes for a valet driver from Maple Manor to collect our car at the airport, luckily we had planned to arrive early for breakfast ( which we had to miss) so just about had time to check in for our flight. After phoning twice I was told as we were 5 minutes later arriving at Gatwick than our stated time we had missed our slot! We then watched other drivers arriving after us and having their cars collected. On returning we again waited 15 minutes for our car. This is our 4th time using valet parking but our first time with Maple Manor ( which wasn't the cheapest rate, but we thought the most known name). We were extremely disappointed and would never use them again.

I was absolutely disgusted at the state of my car on arrival back at car park after my trip. My car was splashed all over with mud, I could barely see out of the windows. When I dropped my car off at Flying Scot Car Park, Edinburgh, my car exterior was clean and shining. On collection, 4 days later, it was filthy. What really annoyed me was that the car park staff handed me the car back in such a state. They sent the car for a 'clean' but when it came back 5 minutes later it was just as dirty, someone had basically just thrown a bucket of water at it. I was too tired, and about to make a 3 hour journey home, to complain further. This is the first and last time I have / will use Airparks. From now on I will do my best to discourage other people from using this car park service.

Very poor. Had to wait ages, then when the driver eventually arrived he was unpleasant and unhelpful. Although being ahead in the queue, the vehicle couldn't take all our luggage so we had to wait until the vehicle returned. All in all we had to wait for an hour at the stance before we got back to our car to drive on for a further 2 hours to our home. We are frequent fliers but we won't be using either Low Cost or Flying Scot again.

As a previously satisfied customer, I booked long term parking through AirParks. On our return (at 1145pm) we were directed to the wrong bus despite showing booking and pre-paid ticket to the driver of what would have been the correct bus. On subsequent arrival at the incorrect parking lot we were directed by our (very helpful and pleasant) driver to the supervisor(?) on duty. This man was very brusque and, rather than attempting to assist me proceeded to repeatedly argue that I could not have booked with AirParks and had parked in the 'wrong' car park - despite my showing the booking confirmation (and directions) from AirParks. My eventual return to my vehicle and exit from the car park without incurring any additional charges proved the individual above completely wrong. A very unpleasant experience and shocking customer 'service' from the individual concerned. AirParks need to do better at ensuring its directions and e-communications are consistent with the information given to its staff, as well as ensuring some consistency and standards with regards to its staff attitudes.

no sign posts up, the car park entrance had been changed so the details you gave us were incorrect and the numberplate recognition was not working on the way in or on the way home, which caused a huge hold up on both occasions. All together a very poor experiance and will not be using you again in future

I booked several days before i travelled.and was flying from terminal 1. But the booking agent assured me that would be fine. And to make my way to terminal 2 and the car park was opposite, but after driving for ten minutes it seemed a long way. On trying to get on a shuttle bus to terminal 1, we were told they dont take us to there. To cut a long story short that on return from our journey we were not on the correct carpark, and to get off it cost a further £128 on top of booking with yourself..i feel very dissapointed that it was not clear of where we can an cannot park..i am not familiar with manchesterairport.so this was a first and will certainly be the last. the shuttle bus would take us to terminal one
