“They note buses every 10 minutes. I missed a bus by 20 seconds its then took 30 minutes for a new one. I was not made aware I have to leave my key with them, in turn they then told me as i had not logged in they charged me an extra £25. Why and for what. Poor experience would not use again. Last thing you need at 11:00PM is standing in the cold for 30 minutes.”

“I am writing to make a formal complaint regarding the unacceptable handling of my arrival at Gatwick Holiday Parking on 03/10/2026, which caused me considerable frustration, unnecessary delay and genuine concern that I was going to miss my flight. I arrived at approximately 5:30am and spoke to a member of staff wearing high-visibility clothing who identified himself as Brian. I showed him my booking, the address I had been given and the location on my phone, all of which indicated that I was at the correct site. Despite this, he repeatedly insisted that I was in the wrong place, told me that I did not know what I was talking about, and instructed me to go to the Purple Parking site on the opposite side of the airport. I followed his instructions because he was an employee and I reasonably trusted that he knew where I was supposed to be. When I arrived at Purple Parking, I was told that they did not have my booking and that I had originally been at the correct location. I therefore had to drive all the way back, losing valuable time through no fault of my own. You can cross-reference this with your vehicle entry records and CCTV, as I entered your parking facility at approximately 5:30am and again at around 5:55am. This should clearly demonstrate the unnecessary journey I was sent on. When I returned, I went directly to reception and explained what had happened. Despite making them aware that I was now extremely short on time, I was simply put on the bus with little apparent urgency or concern. Thankfully, I did ultimately make my flight, but I came genuinely close to missing it. The stress and frustration caused by this situation were completely unnecessary and were entirely avoidable had I simply been given the correct information in the first place. What I find particularly frustrating is that I was actually in the correct place from the beginning. I questioned Brian, showed him my booking and location, and was still confidently sent to the wrong site. I then had to spend valuable time correcting an error that was made by your own staff. I therefore expect this matter to be properly investigated, including a review of the CCTV and entry records, and I am seeking appropriate compensation for the significant inconvenience, stress and disruption caused by this incident. I do not consider a generic apology to be an adequate response. I would like a clear explanation of what went wrong, what will be done regarding the staff member involved, and what compensation you are prepared to offer. I look forward to your substantive response. Kind regards”

“Poor app sends you round in circles so that you cant change even if you pay the extra”

“Wasn’t we’ll sign posted as I didn’t realise the valet service was different to the normal meet and greet, I went to meet and greet and had a read rude lady basically laughing I had gone to the wrong place, I explained I’ve had major surgery and can’t lift anything and she was really funny with me, they bought the car down to me in the end and couldn’t of put it any further away then they did and I had to wait 40 mins”

“I had a very disappointing experience with this car park. When I arrived, I was already very late and there were no clear signs or instructions to guide me. Nobody informed me that after parking, I was required to hand over my car keys for them to keep. Because I was not told this, I took my keys with me after parking. I paid £62.88 for the parking, yet when I returned from my trip, I found that my car had been clamped and I was also charged a £100 penalty. I immediately submitted a complaint and requested a refund, but several days have now passed and I still have not received any response. The lack of clear information and communication was extremely frustrating, and I am very disappointed with the way this situation has been handled. I would expect much clearer instructions and much better customer service.”

“It took ages to find our car. Not where we were told. Found an employee and he had a go at finding it then gave up and went to office to find out. Finally found it nowhere near original area. It spoilt the expected seamless getting key, loading car and leaving by over 30minutes.”

“Great service as always. All very quick and no trouble and hardly any wait for the buses. Agree with other comment about bus drivers a bit miserable. 🤭”

“Broke my windscreen mirror and damaged windscreen as well. Did not inform me. It fell off while driving. Have written to customer service on the day and no reply to date. Not even acknowledgment of the e/mail. Will not use your service again. Photos were E/mailed to CS”

“There was no meet and great. Nowhere to get to you as road closed. I spent hours they lying to find a representative. No one at the terminal or anyone who knew anything about purple parking. So despite having paid for your service at terminal drop off I had to park in long term and pay another 121pounds. your service is completely lacking and you are not doing what you sell in the website and what i paid for. Total rip off”

“Overcrowding in the car park. Poorly organised. Stones and nails in the ground and got a puncture.”

“I was sent the wrong directions/information for the car park and spent 30 minutes trying to locate anyone who could assist me. Bearing in mind you can’t just pull up around the airport, you get fined for just stopping!! There is no direct number for this company to ask for assistance, just an AI chat bot which didn’t understand what I was asking. Will not use again!”

“My flight was cancelled and I was unable to book another flight to my destination for another 30 hours. As it was not possible for me to park on the same day as my booking, I was not able to get a refund. Surely if my car was booked in for 8 days my allocation should of been saved for me. I am very unhappy and will not use Purple Parking again!!!”

“Boot cover was open but was deliberately left closed when I dropped the car off. There is no reason a parking service should open the boot of my car. Range decreased by >30 miles which is unbelievable when the car should have been parked. I could see on my app that the car was being taken all around Luton.”

“Long wait for car to return. I called a second time when I could see my car was not moving on my car app and was told it will be just a few minutes. Ten minutes later still no movement, they just plan you off when you call up. Very poor service it happens every time”

“I recently used the parking service and entrusted you with my car keys. Afterwards, I noticed that two £1 coins I kept in the car were missing. I know with certainty they were there prior to leaving my car, as I regularly use them to unlock supermarket shopping trolleys. While two pounds is not a significant monetary loss, it is not the value of the belongings that matters - it is the troubling fact that your staff is stealing from customer vehicles. Entrusting a provider with your car key requires complete trust, and having employees go through personal possessions and take items is entirely unacceptable. I strongly advise others to look elsewhere for parking.”

“Bad communication from purple parking. Book our vehicle through you guys to be told upon arrival that we had to pay and £20 a day because it was a van. No phone call prior to our arrival or email. If we had know we would have parked somewhere else or taken 2 cars as would have been cheaper. You need to do better purple parking so you don’t ruin people holidays with extra hidden costs with no other options”

“Had requested a refund for purple parking at Gatwick,South Terminal on Friday 04/09/26 . However, upon arrival the ticket barrier should have automatically opened following the number plate recognition but I had to operate it manually and there was a notice "2 hour free parking." It was futile to pay nearly £20 yet l spent less than 2 hours at the airport. Will l be getting a refund or not. if not can you tell me the reason.”

“Terrible service. I booked meet and greet, as travelled with my 2 young children. I was left waiting for over 30 minutes at terminal 3 for someone to meet me to take the car. It defeated the object of me booking meet and greet. Will be making an official complaint because the aftermath of me running over 30 minutes late with 2 very young children was awful.”

“We had booked our parking in advance and paid £106. However, when we arrived at the car park, we were told that our Volkswagen Transporter was subject to an additional charge of £15 per day, and we were required to pay a further £135 because we were driving a Volkswagen Transporter, which was a normal fully glazed, non commercial and 1.95m high vehicle. This resulted in our £106 booking ultimately costing us £241. We have tried on several occasions to request a refund but still to this day no one from Purple Parking has got back to us.”
