I had to wait close to 40min for my car, after I followed the process and called the office after I collected my luggage. and after I had supplied my arrival flight details and time I expected to be at Heathrow Terminal 2. The overall management of the collection process was extremely poor.

I would find it very difficult to recommend Purple Parking’s Meet & Greet service at Gatwick based on my recent experience. What should have been a seamless start to our holiday turned into a stressful, expensive, and confusing ordeal. The Issues We Encountered: Poor Communication & Upselling: Leading up to our trip, we were bombarded with emails. However, most were attempts to upsell insurance and "holiday extras" rather than providing clear, concise instructions. This cluttered our inbox and made finding actual arrival details nearly impossible. Inaccurate Instructions: The information provided was fundamentally flawed. Online searches directed us to Orange Car Park 5, which was incorrect. It turned out to be Orange Car Park 3. It seems that all exterior and interior signage for Purple parking has been removed, and the email instructions were at odds; we were told to go to Level 1, but the layout in the car park suggested that moving up a floor would lead to Level 2, leaving us trapped in a loop. Zero Support: After three rotations of the Gatwick Short Stay car park, we called Purple Parking for help. The staff on the phone were surprisingly unable to provide any actual directions or advice on how to find them. Hidden Costs: Because of the lack of signage and poor directions, we ended up in the wrong area and were forced to pay an £8 exit fee to NCP just to reset and try again. The Silver Lining (And One Final Letdown): The only reason this isn't a zero-star review is that the staff we eventually found on-site (who seem to work for both Purple and Maple Parking) were helpful, and the actual vehicle collection process upon our return was smooth. However, we were disappointed to find our car completely covered in bird droppings when it was returned. It gave us the distinct impression that the vehicles are stored in a less-than-ideal environment, which is not what you expect when paying for a premium parking service. Final Verdict: The lack of clarity and the resulting stress was "far from ideal" for the start of a holiday. Given the unnecessary £8 exit fee we incurred and the overall poor level of service, we feel a partial refund is warranted. We will be looking for alternative parking providers in the future. Note to Purple Parking: Better signage and fewer marketing emails in favor of one clear "Arrival Guide" would go a long way.

Whilst the staff at the LHR car park were very helpful, the transfer bus experience was miserable. True, the 20 minute wait between buses is explained, but not the extra 20 minute tour of Heathrow as it travels to multiple terminals.

Booked Cophall Car Parking at Gatwick through Purple Parking. Arrival and dropping the car off went smoothly with no issues. However, despite calling when we returned and through baggage and customs as requested, my car was not ready when I arrived back at the parking location. I booked until 01:00 the following day and arrived at the parking around 23:30, the car should have been ready. I have young children that were exhausted and was left waiting for 35 minutes. The staff didn’t seem bothered.

The car had 40 miles more on the odometer when I picked it back up - someone had clearly been driving it around. The Apple CarPlay screen that was stuck to the dash had come away from its place when returned. The boot had clearly been rummaged through during its time in parking.

The signage to level 4 London Heathrow is confusing as we found we were using Maple Parking and not Purple Parking - the purple signs did not take us to the same firm - when i asked about the confusing signs, staff blamed Heathrow Airport. Leaving the car and delivery back was excellent until we were given a used parking ticket to leave the airport so were stuck at the exit barrier - car park staff were unhelpful and blamed Maple Parking - so had to pay £8.50 and it looks as if some sort of scam is going on so make sure that when you are given a ticket to leave the car park it has not been used previously - rang Maple Parking who could not have been less helpful, told to ring the office, office closed, and i cannot be bothered to chase them - a really frustrating experience - not sure i would use the firm again for this reason

I left my vehicle with you for 7 days and on collection the vehicle was covered in bird deposits and thick dust. I don't expect to arrive home and the vehicle to require a full valet. This is not a old car either and has only covered 6,000 miles. I shall not be using your facilities again if you can't park vehicles in a more considerate way.

The signage on entry to T2 car park at LHR was poor resulting in a visit to the wrong operator on first floor and a trip around the car park and re-entry.

Your driver was very ignorant when I picked up a bottle that was on the floor he pushed it off the dash and hit my wifes foot. I was thinking I’m doing the right thing. It’s looks like I didn’t. That’s why you get 2stars. You should train your drivers to treat your customers to pay respect and understand to the paying customers.

The entire process was very smooth, and communication was great BUT…..upon receiving my car back I realised that I was down about 1/4 tank of fuel. So clearly this company does not store vehicles on site, and instead drives them god knows where out of town and only deposits them back when they know you are due to collect your car. BE AWARE OF THIS, and do what I did and fit an AirTag to your vehicle so you can check at all times where they’ve taken your car, most likely dumped in a field somewhere outside of Heathrow. Lack of transparency. Not good Purple Parking. Be honest with your customers

Actual parking was not an issue. Not sure why whomever drove the car felt the need to adjust all the light settings - was set on automatic but all turned off.

The booking arrangement was easy and the timings were as expected. But this is the 3rd time in which I get back and everything in my car has changed, mirrors, seats, controls, heating, etc. It feels like they treat the cars as their own.

They service provider wanted us to call them on return from the baggage pickup area. However, on booking the Purple parking paperwork states that the car will be waiting for us on return, no 0hone call is necessary. We showed the guy at the desk and he was dismissive, saying the paperwork is wrong and they demand a phone call. Therefore Purple Parking you need to explain this on the booking information!

The app / site doesn't work properly. I couldn't modify my return flight which was changed. I tried to add new flight number but thus was not recognized. Helpdesk doesn't work saturday evening so despite I arrived before the parking end the person said he had to wait longer at terminal because of previous indicated flight and I had to pay other 8£ parking.

Secure parking !! We got there at 0500hrs in the morning. Entrance was wide open, no one in hut. Fair enough - it was early. We returned 2 weeks later at 1630hrs, gate wide open, no sign of a human being anywhere. Everything was ok - but definitely NOT a secure car park.

The problem is there is no transport from this parking site to Terminal 4 and 5 and I had to take a Uber which caused a lot of time delay and I nearly missed your flight. They do not make that clear when you book with them either.
