“I would find it very difficult to recommend Purple Parking’s Meet & Greet service at Gatwick based on my recent experience. What should have been a seamless start to our holiday turned into a stressful, expensive, and confusing ordeal. The Issues We Encountered: Poor Communication & Upselling: Leading up to our trip, we were bombarded with emails. However, most were attempts to upsell insurance and "holiday extras" rather than providing clear, concise instructions. This cluttered our inbox and made finding actual arrival details nearly impossible. Inaccurate Instructions: The information provided was fundamentally flawed. Online searches directed us to Orange Car Park 5, which was incorrect. It turned out to be Orange Car Park 3. It seems that all exterior and interior signage for Purple parking has been removed, and the email instructions were at odds; we were told to go to Level 1, but the layout in the car park suggested that moving up a floor would lead to Level 2, leaving us trapped in a loop. Zero Support: After three rotations of the Gatwick Short Stay car park, we called Purple Parking for help. The staff on the phone were surprisingly unable to provide any actual directions or advice on how to find them. Hidden Costs: Because of the lack of signage and poor directions, we ended up in the wrong area and were forced to pay an £8 exit fee to NCP just to reset and try again. The Silver Lining (And One Final Letdown): The only reason this isn't a zero-star review is that the staff we eventually found on-site (who seem to work for both Purple and Maple Parking) were helpful, and the actual vehicle collection process upon our return was smooth. However, we were disappointed to find our car completely covered in bird droppings when it was returned. It gave us the distinct impression that the vehicles are stored in a less-than-ideal environment, which is not what you expect when paying for a premium parking service. Final Verdict: The lack of clarity and the resulting stress was "far from ideal" for the start of a holiday. Given the unnecessary £8 exit fee we incurred and the overall poor level of service, we feel a partial refund is warranted. We will be looking for alternative parking providers in the future. Note to Purple Parking: Better signage and fewer marketing emails in favor of one clear "Arrival Guide" would go a long way.”

“Super easy and convenient, the only thing I will say is finding a postcode or instructions on finding it wasn’t as convenient, I phoned and was instructed that the postcode weren’t precise and to simply type in the venue but couldn’t find that detail anywhere .”

“We pre-booked parking for 8 days at Southampton Ocean Way multi-storey car park, for a very good price. The car park was clean, probably the cleanest car-park I've been in. The lifts and automatic doors worked. I felt comfortable leaving my car there. I was expecting ANPR to manage my entry & exit. However, on entry there was a very pleasant man sitting by the barrier (as it was football match day) who swiped a card to raise the barrier and let us in without even asking for proof of booking. On exit the ANPR didn't raise the barrier so I had to press the help button and after explaining the situation the barrier was raised. I would prefer the ANPR to manage my entry/exit, but it was a minor blemish on the experience ... I still give 5 stars.”

“It took over an hour to get from the terminal back to the car. I will never use purple parking again. Atrocious.”

“The staff were great and the driver was there to take the car and there with the car when we asked. Car was fine and happy that it had been looked after. The only problem was it is quite a long walk from the car park to Departures especially as it was very cold and raining when we left and cold when we returned. Perhaps not such a problem for young people but for older people with a disabilities it is too much of a hike. There is a nearer car park cannot that be used?”

“Always book with Purple Parking. This was our first time going to Heathrow & was a bit nervous, but we booked Maple Parking at terminal 5 & wow, what an easy find & the service there was great, we was in & out within minutes, both dropping off & return. So near to the terminal, staff were friendly & polite. Definitely book Maple Parking again 100%”
