“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.”

“On the surface most of this service went well; it was easy to find, park, and catch the transfers. However, I returned very late at night and didn't check my car over until I was home and it was daylight. I was beyond annoyed to find that my wheel had been badly kerbed, see attached photo. Having read other 1 star reviews I can see this is not an uncommon complaint, and I will not use this company again.”

“Paid for prepaid parking, went on my holiday and when I finished I was charged for parking. I called the help desk and was told that I had to pay their parking and try and get a refund for my prepaid parking. So far no one has replied to my messages and when I tried to cancel it because no one was replying, I got a message saying I can ot cancel after the date of booking. I am so frustrated as I am now out hundreds of pounds and had additional stress to deal with.”

“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.”
