Got back from my flight got the shuttle to the car. When I was given my key my car was not in the space they said it was. I spent 30 minutes searching the car park at 10:30 at night whilst 6 months pregnant and no one from the silver parking zone at Bristol was able to locate my car. Not impressed.

I've parked with you regularly for 10 years at Bath Road without any issues, however this time I have been very disappointed. My alloy was severely kerbed whilst in Purple Parking care to the extent that a brand new tyre had to be replaced and I have a chunk missing from the rim. I had a low tyre pressure light come on as I was exiting the carpark. Obviously I had left the premises so I have no way to prove or claim for it but it would have been adult for whoever done it own up when I picked the car up! Thanks PP I'n now £162 out of pocket.

Meet & greet at BHX is awful. Arrived when raining, had to wait more than 15 minutes to get sorted and all out in the rain, no cover other than the overhead rail link! On returning to collect car we had to wait around 25 minutes in very wet conditions and one of our party was of senior age. Again no cover from the rain, no where for an elderly person to sit. I expect meet and greet to be exactly that not meet and wait!

Tricky to find a parking space on arrival then waited 40 minutes for the bus to the airport. On return waited over half an hour for this service that is supposed to be every 15 minutes. Won’t be using this again as creates a stressful start to a holiday.

The drop off instructions were not overly clear - it would be good to get an email on the morning of the drop off with the reminder as I had booked it months ago so it was hard to find. The email DID say that the car would be waiting for us upon return - however, not only was it not there, but the staff were stroppy, telling me that we should have called them (we were not given a number) to say we were back and request our car. This is NOT what’s outlined in the email nor is it what we have had to do in the past. When I told the staff that, he said “well you should count yourself lucky!” So rude! We therefore had to wait 30 mins for our car back which was not ideal after a 10 hour flight and before a 5 hour drive home. Will be looking at other parking companies in the future. Really disappointed by purple parking.

Every thing was good except the person who checked us out. He was asking unrelated questions even he knows we got a disabale child with us. I cannot believe how can someone be that difficult.

I'm going to give PP a 2 out of 5 for the reasons explained below. I was pretty unhappy with the initial experience at T3 car park for the car drop off. I guess it could be argued that I did not fully read the PP booking email's but having used PP hundreds of times in the past, I felt I knew the process for car drop off at LHR. However the signage for T3 parking leads a lot to be desired and I followed the signs to "Meet and Greet" and ended up at L1 (I think) of T3 car park and parked up. This was the wrong place (it was run by another competitor parking company) and I had to be redirected to L4. Unfortunately the car park ticket was re-validated inside the car park at L1 before I moved the car to L4 and I had to pay an additional £19.50 for the privilege of making a simple mistake. The PP guy was very apologetic at the time but said if I did not pay the car park ticket they could not honour my chauffeur parking with them. Not something you want to deal with when starting your holiday and trying to get to T3 to do the check-in, so I had to pay the additional charge. Yes, the actual PP service was OK after that - drop off and pick up (a week later) was pretty clear, but being on L4 meant the car park lifts were a challenge to traverse given the sheer volume of people using them first thing in the morning. I think that PP and APCOA need to do a better job of signage at T3 car parks and also I do not understand that why I was charged £19.50 on top of the car park fee I had already been charged by PP - it was a simple mistake. We were at the car park only one month ago for a pickup and that car park fee cost me just £11.50 for the same period of time [less than 1hr]. Someone is ripping customers off here and it leaves a bad taste at the start of what was supposed to be a relaxing holiday. What was frustrating was that the "Off Airport Meet and Greet" was sign posted on the walkway from T3 back to the car park, something we would not have seen when we were arriving at the airport to drop off the car.

When i dropped off the car it had just been cleaned and I took photos of the car. When the car was brought back to me it was filthy dirty as if it had been driven through fields and the car had been driven over 24 miles as I made note of the mileage before I left. Will not use again or recommend.

There was no signage to show where to go once you get to level 4 so was unsure of where to meet you. Instructions on the phone were unclear. I was only away 4 days and my car came back covered in dust. The windscreen was black with dirt on the parts the wipers don’t reach and the wiper bay was full of dead leaves suggesting my car was parked under a tree.

We booked our parking early this year. In August we changed our vehicle and contacted the car park with updated details. You were happy to continue with the booking. When we arrived we were told that you would not accept our booking without an additional payment. We had no choice but to pay. We found the staff polite but not particularly helpful. It's such a disappointment as having used your company for many years, this episode is making us feel like making alternative arrangements for ongoing breaks.

Someone had altered many of the settings on the car - lights, virtual cockpit, radio etc. When I tried complaining on the website I got an AI system which admitted changing the settings can be a big problem but then said PP would do nothing about it because I didn’t report it when I picked up the car. So it will not even be brought to the attention of whoever did it. (Many of the problems like the radio not working were not apparent until we were on the road)

We didn’t like the positioning of the site and the u-turn required to come off of Bath road. Drop off was ok. Buses stop at every Terminal so there are people getting on and off all the time. Not easy to get to your luggage once at the T5 as you’re last to be dropped off. Similarly on the return, buses are full once they arrive at T5 so you have to keep waiting for a bus with space. Not what you need when you’ve returned from a holiday.

We booked hotel and stay parking . Did not realise until we were at hotel that our car was going to be parked at the Long stay car park. Absolutely ridiculous. Not worth the mess about, especially with the luggage. Won’t be using again!!

Mixed review really, we had an issue with the battery draining unexpectedly whilst away and Maple Parking kindly offered to charge the car using a 3 pin plug for £25-£30 which was a massive help. However, they actually drove it to a supercharger which was automatically billed to my account then demanded £30 for moving the car. In addition the car was returned literally covered in bird droppings. I will assess for any damage to the paint work when it stops raining After a long delayed flight I couldn’t be bothered with the argument.

We have used purple parking silver zone at Bristol on many occasions without a problem. Sadly on 20th September 2025 our flight arrived on time and waited for the transfer bus quite a while. We only hand hand luggage to reduce waiting time at the baggage carousel. Eventually arrived at key collection only to be told the car was not ready as our flight was not due in yet and we were early. This was not the case as when the key was eventually found 1.5 hours later the yellow tag clearing correctly indicated our scheduled flight and arrival time. We were told there was not a senior member of staff or manager that we could speak with as they were out looking for our key/ car. We were not acknowledged, informed, updates without asking no apology other than we are looking for the key.!! This has left us with no confidence to book again with Purple parking. A complaint had been logged via the QR code and awaiting a response to which we had an automated reply to say this response could take 20 days I will await the outcome if / when it arrives.

On our return my car keys were not available. I had to ask your member of staff to find the key which was in a box in the office. Unusual for your systems to fail

long wait for the bus, and then as we were picked up at Terminal 3 it took a full further 30 minutes to get back to our car.
