“Rubbish. Car park was a mess and parking to drop the car off was chaos. Then had to wait 30 mins for them to bring my car when collecting !”

“Was refused parking because I was in a van even though my vehicle was within the dimensions allowed. Was told I could park for an additional £25 per day! The website asks for the registration number when booking so they know what the vehicle is and allowed the booking to go ahead.”

“Appalling pick up on return. When we arrived at the desk at T3 there were over 21 customers waiting for their cars. We had to wait ages until we got our car.”

“When we dropped of the guy clearly told us to call when we are at bag collection and they will move our cars from the car park to the multistorey for collection. We did just that, we then got faced with a £14 parking charge at the gate to leave. I called the company and explained what I was facing at the gate and he very bluntly replied that we called them to early and it's or fault. So after spending hundreds to park out car, we then had to pay another £14 on the way out. AVOID”

“Do not use this company. They profess to provide a parking space but do not. Their parking was closed when I got there and no refund was given and my claim disputed Gatwick holiday parking is NOT open 24/7. Do not therefore use it”

“Almost an hour to reach terminal 5 from the point i stepped on the bus at the car park having to wait sat on the bus for some 25minutes. 35minute wait for a shuttle to bring us back from the airport and an hour in total. Got in the car, turned the engine on and the stereo was blaring, it was turned of when i had dropped the car off. Then found the seat settings had been totally moved so much that i couldn't get in to the seat, i had to play around with it. Left the car park out on to the main road to find all the wing mirror settings had been totally moved. Why were all these changes made to my car to move it a very short distance inside the compound? and why if they changed everything why didn't they move the settings back once the car was parked? Absolutely shocking service and it really is a case of you get what you pay for, pay peanuts you get Monkeys.”

“At relatively short notice you changed our already paid for orange zone parking outside to green zone indoor multi story parking involving longer walking distance and inability to use our ski box . No reduction in charges was offered . It was difficult to discuss our difficulties and the only option was to cancel which would have been awkward. We are both retired and choose the closest orange short stay because we had two large bags and a long double ski bag to carry. Although the parking footprint is the same inside as outside parking is more restrictive in multi-story and our vehicle we knew was OK outside even though it was slightly longer than slot length, but we were uncertain with inside. It was difficult to discuss this with anyone in person!”

“Paid the required fee through Holiday Extra as advertised, but missed the small print saying there would be a surcharge if your vehicle was classed as a commercial ( Nissan Navara, not used for commercial purposes). On arrival at the desk met with , ‘you owe an extra £400 pound surcharge’ I tried arguing the case and the bill dropped to £350, £300, £250 and finally £200. I wasn’t expecting a surcharge as you knew the make model and colour of the vehicle when booked and secondly I wasn’t expecting to haggle over any prices until I started my holiday abroad. I hold my hands up to missing the ‘ surcharge ‘ on the initial booking, but when presented with a price and pay that price, knowing you have my vehicle details, it leaves a very bad taste, feeling that you have been had over and fleeced by a middle man. Manager informed me that there was a surcharge as they did not accept commercial vehicles, even though there was a row of similar vehicles parked outside the office. If I had more time I would have left with my vehicle and taken it somewhere else, however the trip and journey had been timed perfectly, leaving me no option but to pay the ‘surcharge’. I have used Purple parking several times in the past and even parked another Nissan Navara there several years ago without a surcharge. On principle now this will be my last time.”

“While my car was in purple parking it was involved in a collision which I wasn’t informed of, my car notified me after I had collected my car, I have tried to contact customer service however there is no number and having to wait for a email!”

“Paid for meet and greet. When we arrived before our flight we were told we had arrived half hour too early and had to pay a parking fee. Then when we returned our cars were not ready at the meet and greet. The guy told us we were supposed to phone to let them know when we had landed, despite receiving emails saying no need to phone as long as no change in flight details and the booking card also said only need to call if changes to flight. Had to wait in freezing cold with young children for car to arrive. Not what I paid for”

“I booked with I ❤️ Meet and Greet via Purple parking and couldn’t have had a worse experience. Upon return the driver asked me to sign for the car before he gave me the key. When I entered the car it was clear that a dreadful job had been done of the valet, which I had paid £40 extra for. When I started the car I realised the rear view mirror had been broken and was laying on the passenger seat. When I got out the car and tried to complain the driver who brought my car was rude and couldn’t have been less helpful, even saying at one point ‘What do you want me to do about it?’ When I returned to the car and checked for further damage I realised that despite the car still having rubbish in it and not being cleaned properly, they had thrown away my residence parking permit (which costs £200)! When I called the number to try and get help I was told that I needed to get off the line and send an email to customer support. Do NOT use this company unless you want to have your car returned to you damaged and not even receive and apology, let alone any compensation. I ❤️ Meet and Greet, should actually read: I ❤️ ripping off customers!!”

“Signage to find the Meet & Greet in T2 is virtually non existent ! On return no signs telling you where the key collection lockers are situated - ended up wandering around the car park until we stumbled across the lockers, definitely need better signage for arrival and return”

“I rarely leave reviews, but this experience has prompted me to make an exception. When booking meet-and-greet parking at an airport's short-stay car park, customers expect convenience and efficiency—neither of which I received. I made the booking through MBW, but the confirmation email I received was branded as Purple Parking. Upon arrival at the car park, I first approached Purple Parking staff, who directed me to MBW. At the MBW area, no one was present. I waited about five minutes before returning to Purple Parking to ask for assistance. They advised me to phone MBW. When I called, I was informed that I should have contacted them 30 minutes prior to arrival, that this was stated in the email, and that someone would now arrive in 15–20 minutes. The driver eventually appeared after 25 minutes and took my keys. While waiting, I carefully re-read the email. There was no mention whatsoever of the requirement to call 30 minutes in advance. The email was clearly sent by Purple Parking (with their branding and logo), though it did reference MBW. I then clicked through to the terms and conditions via the provided link, and only there was the 30-minute call requirement mentioned. This crucial instruction should be prominently included in the confirmation email itself, not buried in separate terms that require additional clicks. On my return flight, I followed the instructions and phoned MBW as soon as I had collected my luggage. I then proceeded to the car park, only to wait a further 15 minutes for my vehicle to be delivered. Due to this overall lack of convenience and poor communication, I will not be using this service again.”

“No adequate information about direction to your parking lot at Southend airport(only received after been checked in) and heavy smoker was given access to my car to re parked. My car smells awfully of cigarette at pickup. The good thing is that the shuttle was there in time on our return journey.”

“My overall experience with Purple parking was a complete disaster. The staff were extremely rude and very unhelpful. My holiday started off having to deal with someone arguing with me because I was arriving 15 minutes early. There was no Lee way or any chance of them helping me. His verbal communication was extremely rude and his attitude towards me was intolerable. This went on as I returned to pick my car up. I will never use them again and discourage anyone from using their services.”
