Will def be using the service again, everything was hassle free from start to finish and it made things so easy. Didn;t even have to worry about finding a parking space as everything is done for you. Thanks for everything, c u next year!
punctual, friendly and helpful: couldn't have asked for a better service.
However, I do think the website should explain more clearly where the drop off and pick up occurs at the airport. It is not explained that it is a five minute walk to the terminal building. With three children and luggage it was not the easiest start or end to the holiday. Otherwise the parking facilities, check in, bus, staff was good.
It was very efficient and the staff were very helpful. I would recommend Highwayman parking
Very difficult to find due to lack of clear directions along the road. Very long walk especially for an elderly couple pulling two suitcases from being dropped off by the minibus to the terminal building at 5am in the morning! We would have to think twice about using this facility in the future.
Really friendly staff, excellent customer service/communication. Transferred me straight away to the airport and were not cross with me for being late! They were there to pick me up when I returned. All very efficient.
It would be helpful to inform customers that there is quite a walk to the terminal from the drop-off point.
I was very impressed with general level of service. However, we were only told on the day that the minibus would not be dropping us at the terminal building of Cardiff airport and had to walk a few hundred yards with cases/pram etc.. The reason for this was due to works being undertaken at the airport which I can accept but why weren't we told before hand.
we had never been to cardiff airport or the highwayman carpark, the directions were clear and easy to follow. when we arrived the staff were efficient and professional. The transfer took a couple of mins with a very friendly driver, the pick up details that were given were also clear. When we arrived back the mini bus was waiting for us, we got back very quickly, with a nice driver again, the car was waiting and off we went. No problems, will definatly use them again
The staff were friendly and helpfull, they were very punctual and efficient, therefor taking the stress of getting to the airport on time away.I would definately use their service again.
This was the first time we used the service and were very pleased with the punctuality, ease of booking in and friendly staff - especially at 4.00am. We thought it was particularly good value for money
Very quick, effective, staff extremely helpful. We almost missed the plane but thanks to great service we were at check in just on time. Thank you.
modern coaches friendly drivers,even at 0100 hrs. depot hidden away in the village. there are signs,but concentrate on finding tne village!!
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.
