“As part of the booking process you need to provide the vehicle registration number which confirms the vehicle make and model. No where is it made clear that larger vehicles like pickups will cost more. My booking cost £38. When I parked I was approached by a member of staff informing me that my vehicle is too big and it needs to be moved by them at an additional cost of £20-odd, to another area, a few meters away. The additional cost for 5 days was a whopping £150 extra! Almost 5x the original cost. The vehicle is not 5x larger than a small car! At this point there is no option but to pay or miss a flight. When I returned to collect my vehicle it was parked in the same fkn parking area that I was initially forced to leave! Contacting their customer help was also pointless. Absolute thieves.”

“Horrible unjustified long wait at Gatwick pick up point, although it was Monday almost a dead quite day in February, we ended up waiting 50 minutes in the freez cold till the shuttle arrived! Another unsurprised failure in the whole system on this country”

“The service, the staff, the bus driver and the experience were all good. However, the extra £60 we had to pay on arrival for our outbound flight for our ‘commercial vehicle’ which is a pick-up truck was a surprise. There was no mention of the extra cost when I was booking online. The extra should have been highlighted up front online – and not only in the terms and conditions (as was pointed out at reception). Furthermore the categorisation of a pick-up truck as a commercial vehicle was unexpected, I have not had to pay extra in other parking facilities at Gatwick.”

“Unfortunately I made a mistake with the return date as the flight arrived home around 12pm and I put the date as the 14th the date of landing instead of the 15th. After explaining the mistake I was charged another £16. The person I spoke to was very rude. Won't use again.”

“Your system asks you to put in number plate and recognises the make model colour etc of your vehicle and then gives a price for your stay. When I arrived they asked me for a further £300 plus pounds as my vehicle was of a certain type.. really?! Was this a surprise to you? You already had all my vehicle information.. From a legal point of view putting extra charges in the ‘small print’ wouldn’t pass any interrogation.. You need to sort this out.. I will not be using you company again. Terrible service and to do this 3hrs before we fly out on holiday is unforgivable. Oh and strangely enough your system repeatedly failed to allow my review to be posted.. I have told all my friends about this so you have lost at least 100 other possible clients.. way to run a business 🤬”

“I have been an avid user of your drop and go for many many years. However the last 4 times of using this service my vehicle has not be available and I’ve had to wait anywhere between 35-60 mins for my car to be delivered. This time only to be told that if I pay more money ( there is a click box ) they guarantee my car will be ready !!!! First time OK SECOND TIME shame on YOU THIRD AND FOURTH TIME SHAME ON ME !!!!!”

“Rang as advised, then took 35 minutes before the car arrived. Customer service was terrible, what is the point of giving flight details if the car is not ready on arrival. Will not be booking again through purple parking.”

“My car reg wasn't sent to the parking when I'd updated it a long time before. The parking wasn't great either. Too many cars and no spaces took ages to find one. Overbooked.”

“Awful directions - told me to use teh app which only had a GPS Lat & Lon numbers with no indication of which floor; no customer support until 9am - our flight was early morning; took out insurance for delayed return (which happened) and yet was charged to collect my car and now have the hassle of having to reclaim the money. Overall somewhere between awful and diabolically bad.”

“i booked and paid for a transfer from drop off to the terminal in 7 mins. I had to wait for the bus to be full and then the transfer itself took 30 mins as we went via all the terminals. This was exactly the same for the return trip. I could have been halfway home by the time we arrived at purple parking. Please explain what the higher paid amount was for? Felt completely ripped off, will not be using them again.”
