A little difficult to find but well worth the effort.Will definitely use it again.
staff were friendly and helpful. Whiklst we were away our car was given a well needed clean. We will book again in October for our next trip. Thank you
Although we arrived at 0515 in -5 degrees and darkness, check in was easy and we were soon in the terminal. On the return we arrived back at the same time as a delayed flight, so we did have a 15 minute wait while they got everyone back in the 2 minibuses.
departed immediatly for the airport and was shown where to meet the bus on our return. We were delayed 19 hrs on our return but the bus was there waiting for us and delivered us safely to the car in the snow
Good value for money compared to the Long stay carpark at the airport. Customer service was excellent. We actually missed our flight back but got this wasn't a problem. Would reccommend them to anyone
We decided to use the Highwayman as the description said it was close to the airport. When I passed the airport I saw one sign of the main road and no other signs at all. I had to ring the highwayman for directions and because the parking was difficult to find we were too late at check in to sit together. I will not be using this facility again as it is to far from the airport, up difficult country roads with no signposting at all.
Worth mentioning the Highway Inn. We didn't use it but probably would have if we had known about it.
Parked recently at Cardiff Airport. Great service; friendly staff and what was very surprising which does not always happen at other airports - the bus was waiting when we came out of the terminal - as promised!! Very Good Service. If any negative comment. The signs to the parking could be a little better and not everyone has a sat nav....................otherwise, great service and will certainly use again! Well Done!
You could mention that you have a signpost,on the B4265 St Athens Road, showing when to turn down the lane. I found this helpful as I came in from the Bridgend area (via Google map)
Dopped off by car which had everything switched on fully to clear misting. No one waited to see if everything was alright but cleared off without checking. Car left parked in gear up against a fence which could well have caused a possible accident. If any problems had arisen you were left to your own devices.
Only mishap as far as we were concerned the driver who took us told us that we would be picked up outside the Arrivels lounge, where we waited on our return only to see the minibus pass us and waited in the small car park were we were dropped. Luckily it was not raining.
Have flown from Cardfiff many times before - this is the first time I have used the Highwayman service - the first of many I hope. An excellent service - reasonable , fast and effecient.
We were very impressed with the service and will use it again. Transfers were excellent and it was very good value for money
This facility gets better every time I use it. The new set up couldnt be bettered
Arrival was easy and the transfer to the airport excellent. When we retruned we found the bus waiting in the car park for us.
We would certainly not hesitate to use them again. Their service was extremely good both before and after our holiday.
The whole process from booking the parking to arriving back to the car at the end of our holiday was great. Drivers were helpful and pleasant and were waiting for us when our plane landed. Would definately use again.
I did find it odd that I called the venue direct to book and was told there was no roon but on booing through an agency there was space availble????
Directions not very good especially when travelling in the dark, but once found fantastic service, mini bus waiting on return and dropped off alongside car. Would use again.
Good directions given staff very friendly and helpfull.Would use them again.A very big thankyou we had peace of mind leaving the car for two weeks.
