Thank you for your review. We were aware that the road loading to Plane Parking was in need of resurfacing so a project has commenced works to resurface the road and we expect these works to be complete in the coming weeks. Kind regards, Customer Support Team

“The camera didn’t recognise my registration when we arrived so the machine tried to charge £350 for a pre paid booking. Very helpful customer service agent sorted it out with no hassle. But I would have liked to have some way of contacting plane parking to get some reassurance whilst I was away.”

Thank you for your review. It sounds as though our automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) system hasn't registered you upon entry. When this occurs, it means our system doesn't match you to your booking and you are then charged the roll-up rate in error upon exit. This doesn't happen often but when it does, I understand the frustration that it causes. I'm glad you managed to get it sorted at the time.

“Although a prebooking twice I have had to contact the office to confirm my prebooking and exit. For some reason your system is not registering my car number.”

“Disappointing got a bit of a scare when I got to leaving I put my ticket in and wanted £180 thankfully they had a intercom on the ticket machine and it was swiftly sorted as I had pre booked online. I’m not sure why it didn’t pick my registration up in the first place”

“I had to wait quite a long time for a bus to and from the airport. There was limited space on the bus for luggage which made it difficult to get to the empty seats as luggage was in the passageway. I was lucky and got a parking space near bus stop 2, but potentially there could have been a long walk from an empty space to the nearest bus stop. Trying to get out of the carpark on my return was very frustrating and time consuming, as my ticket was rejected by the machine on multiple attempts.”

“Pre paid for parking duration prior to visit Required assistance at 02.30am as ticket machine advised I was outstanding £160 for my stay Your operator got it sorted and I was on my way Was a bit shocked with outstanding fee and as it got sorted out it did not deter me from using your company again I don’t know the reason for my pre paid stay would show an outstanding cost of £160 possibly a glitch?”

“Second time i have used this parking. Nearly doubled since last year. A bit bigger space but when i returned i car was covered in seagulls dropping. It was a nightmare getting it off. I do not know if there is anything that can be done about this.”

“Happy with the car park itself, and the bus driver was absolutely brilliant. Went out of his to help me, as I am wheelchair user. Losing stars because, this is the second time we have used the company, and both times we had to call for help, as the ticket machine was not working properly. 3 cars in front of us had to call too, so definitely not out fault. Was exactly the same issue last year. Holiday already booked for next year, but reluctant to use again. The last thing you need after a long day travelling is a delay trying to get out of the car park.”

“I've used your service before and each time has been really good. This recent one was all good apart from one small thing when leaving car park. When I put ticket in it said I was to pay £180 for the week but I had already paid upfront. Pressed for help and the guy said it hadn't recognised my number plate on way in. He took my details and I was out within minutes. Will be using you again in September”

“Had to wait ages on the bus after parking the car to take us to the airport & to collect us when we landed . The driver from the airport was quite rude he didn’t offer to help anyone with luggage. The driver to the airport was very nice & lifted everyone’s case on for them .”

“It’s quite vague , never new since it was my first time where exactly to go , even though I pre booked it , I still had a bill of £150 at exit , as you can imagine I had too ask for support at the gate , but even trying to get a phone number is impossible,I did however get to speak to someone for assistance and did bring the bill back to my proper £33 , still waiting on plz and thank you but hay that’s the world we live in now , charging points are good and bus service is every 10mins , you might get a smile out of the driver if your lucky , plz can you also give a postcode in directions”

“The parking process both on arrival and departure was excellent and the staff could not be more helpful. I would have given 5 stars had it not been for the fact that my car was neither washed nor valeted as paid for.”

“Easy to book in online, good, cheap car park with good shuttle bus service. The only reason for 3 stars is that gates didn't opened when we tried to leave car park and on display was information to pay £180 for stay. It was really confusing, luckily gates opened after conversation via intercom.”
