The bus took an hour to pick us up from T5, and they did not pick up the phone to confirm status.

When coming back from our flight from Prague Thursday evening, we were waited outside for over a hour. This means whoever was running the business clearly didn't check our arrival times to schedule a bus for us to arrive after we collected our bags. Very poor service.

We booked a VW Caddy in for a short break last week. On entry to the car park we was greated with a sign stating no commercial vehicles were allowed in. We proceeded to enter and then was told we would need to pay an additional £25 a day to park that would be waived to £10 a day. I could understand if we was driving a big van, but a Caddy is smaller than most SUV which would be charged the same amount with no additional charge. At no point when booking was we told there would be an additional charge, we would if bought a car with us instead. Just another way for companies to rip people off who drive vans, a parking space is a parking space not at all happy.

If I could leave 0 stars I would. Arrived at 0230 just to see a sign saying they didn't open the carpark until 0330. We called the reception and they let us park on the basis that we would get an Uber to the terminal as the bus didn't start running until 0400. On arrival back at Heathrow the bus took 30 mins to collect us and others had been waiting 15 minutes longer; standing room only and ridiculously hot onboard.

My car was damaged whilst parked in Manchester Airport, having used their "Meet and Greet" service. The damage wasn't spotted until I returned home as it was minor damage to the inner door sill which is difficult to see unless you catch it in the right light, something which wasn't possible in the car park on collection (car park was dimly lit, closely parked cars meant the door couldn't be fully opened and the area was in shade, and there was no facility to undertake a more thorough inspection). Holiday Extras/Purple Parking refused to take any responsibility as they say I should have spotted it and reported it before I left the car park, despite there being no proper place to inspect the car. I reported the damage immediately on spotting it when I returned home (even before unloading my suitcases). One representative told me I should have used my phone torch in the car park. Following escalation another representative, presumably more senior, made the ridiculous suggestion that I should report it to the police if I was dissatisfied. At the time of writing, no-one has responded to my question as to where I should expect to have undertaken a full inspection within the car park where I might have access to adequate light and space to do so. I find this lack of response extremely poor. They have refused to offer any form of recompense, having taken full payment, and hence profit, whilst I am left to face a bill to repair damage to my car which was entrusted to their care, which I did in good faith. I had no expectation that having paid for a premium service my car would be damaged by those entrusted with it. An overwhelmingly disappointing experience, I would be hard pushed to think of another business I have ever felt so disappointed by. To me, the whole process appears to be weighted against the customer, with businesses seeking exclude liability by relying on inspection clauses in their Terms and Conditions, whilst not actually providing adequate facilities to customers to enable proper inspection. It just seems very wrong. A very poor experience all round.

Horrific service! We are yet to pick up our car….that happens tomorrow morning! But our experience with this booking is/was/likely will be awful from start to finish! Absolutely would not use again! Genuinely expecting more issues when we land! Awful company!!

Difficult to find the park. No signs for the company at the entrance! Carpark was full of deep puddles and poorly lit. Small ticket needed for return trip was given without explanation or the need to keep. Fortunately I did! The pick-up point wasn't labeled with 'Purple Parking's. No direction re route out of the park. I could go on! I won't be using your service in Birmingham again. I've had better experiences with you in other UK airports.

Hello I have attached two photos here. One photo which I took at the time of leaving the car with you shows a mileage of 45264 miles.On return the second photo shows the mileage as 45272 miles. During the cars stay at your car park, it has been driven 8 miles. Similarly the petrol consumption indicator shows I left it with a tank capable of 52 miles. On return there was only sufficient petrol for 28 miles. The analysis suggests the car has driven 4 miles each way, and 16 miles worth of additional petrol has been extracted from the car. Please could you help me understand what has happened with the car during its time with you. thank you Kind Regards Mohan

I didn't go on this trip due to the terrible situation in Valencia and asked if I could transfer the this parking reservation to later date ie Feb 25 but you said no via 2 agents. I have submitted a complaint stating thought this was insensitive and short sighted, but I have not received a reply or aknowledgement. A Wharton

Waited more than 1/2hr for bus. V long queue so clearly a buss hadn’t been for some time before we arrived at stop ‘E’. Bus was crammed full - clearly overloaded and some people not able to board. Arrived at key collection point to find only few people disembarked so the bus must have been delivering other people somewhere else? Collected key with no indication of where car was parked! In car every switch and dial Had been changed. Very poor experience.

40 min wait for bus, quoted 20mins, took 35mins to get back to parking with no traffic, quoted 20mins max, looks like they added Terminal 5 to route after i made booking. Also gave wrong bus stop number to be collected from at Heathrow, overall terrible service.

Upon collecting my car, I found that one of my alloys had been badly kerbed. I spoke to the agents inside whom showed no interest and just told me to email customer services. Emailed on Wednesday still no reply by Friday - called Thursday told tonight and someone would be in touch.

It was dark when we arrived at the airport. We couldn’t find the correct parking area. Had to ask another company for help. Eventually got car parked and then got bus to the terminal. It was still a trek to checkin. As a result, we only had 15 minutes to use our booking at the Aspire lounge. Not a great start to a holiday. We are both in our 70s and will not be park and flying again. Will organise private transfers in future.

Service seemed great until I realised all of parking money that I keep in a hidden drawer had been stolen! Disgusting.

Be very warned...take a video of the inside of your car, the dashboard, zero your milage and take a photo of the milage at the parking bay before you hand in your keys. Make sure your video covers the key station...take a video of the underside of your car and all around the outside...these people took my car for about 400 miles trop when I was on holiday and severely dented my cars underside near the fuel tank and the fuel tank was leaking fluid but I didn't notice until I got home. I have made a complaint already to them and the police. They could have killed my family if the brakes failed on the trip home. There is likely a strong criminal element at that facility purple parking Gatwick...don't use them. Look at thd complaints I think the majority are ethnic minorities they are targeting.

We landed at midnight from a delayed flight and purple parking refused to collect us. It cost £30 for a taxi. They were rude and when we got to the compound they were screeching the cars around the car park and treating them badly. I’ll never use purple parking again.
