Parking was labelled as "Drop & Go". Upon closer reading this was Park & Ride. I feel this is deliberately vague. Beware falling for this.

Caught up in the middle east crisis and got home late. Paid £120 for 13 days parking originally. Even though I booked another 4 days from abroad I was charged £166 for 4 days. Complete exploitation of stranded people. Late return cover did not cover my late return apparently. If I hadn't managed to book a second slot from abroad I would have been charged £64 per day. £256 for the 4 days. Used purple parking 3 times a year for many years, will never do again

Again you didn't answer my question the right way . I thought we could park in the long stay car park. At Gatwick.We we're not told it was a different car park.

while we were away we contacted to extend the parking period to which we were refused and a fee of £20 per day was charged. that is 10 days of parking £35 and another 2 - £40. ugly!

Have used PP several times over perhaps 15 years and been happy with the service. Booked a city break in Spain and headed to G’wick in my ford ranger. Shocked to be charged an extra £21 PER DAY to park it because it’s on a commercial registration document. That’s more than the flights cost me ! Never been an issue before with my VW combi vans (both on commercial tickets). Won’t be using you again. Told by the car park operators that it’s only Purple that charge this premium.

Having accepted our booking for a VW transporter they then tried to charge us £25/day on top of the original payment. We saw the height restriction but our van is lower. No justification given. Be aware.

Firstly, I had to pay an extra £25 a day because I drive a transporter. Crazy, what is the difference between my vehicle and a Range Rover? And secondly, on our return I found the bus driver and the girl in the office really unhelpful. When I asked the bus driver with the plain white bus if he was purple parking he was quite rude and said no he was Q parking? I won’t EVER return or recommend purple parking.

On 12th of February parked my car I went to the airport but had forgotten my passport came back to Purple Parking asked for my key back to go home, grab my passport and come back in 1 Hr. I was told if I want to do that, I have to pay an extra £25 ! Disgusting ! This place is run by thieves

When we inserted the ticket to exit the car park the screen said we needed to pay £200 Fortunately I was able to speak to a person in the cabin next to the barrier and I showed him my confirmation of payment and he opened the barrier for us. This was an unnerving experience when we had arrived back from holiday

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.

I request to add 1 day for my parking and pay £55. Ridiculous

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.
