Everything was excellent and whilst I was away I opted to have the car valeted. This was the only bit of the whole experience that was disappointing. I had paid £35 for a full inside and outside valet but neither the boot nor the change well (that sits in front of gearstick) were cleaned. Plus - the seats were still wet even though they knew when I would be returning. Other than that - fab!
I travel most weekends - generally ok but I always aim for the 5.40pm bus as the 6pm bus is cutting it fine. Arrived just before 6pm last week and checked to make sure bus wouldn't leave without us - it did. When I pointed out that the clock in the office read 2 mins to 6 I was told that the clock was wrong and was offered a reverse meet and greet for £20. THere were 6 of us all going for the same flight and eventually sense prevailed and another bus was organised. An unnecessarily stressful experience. Why don't the drivers actually look into the office before they drive out of the car park?
Good service even when we arrived back fast and efficient service getting our car back
Then receptioist had a problem fiknding the man in front of me's details as he had booke3d 1 night then booked another night separately over internet and it took about 20m minutes for your guy to find him on the system. Good job I wasnt tight for time on thuis occasion. A couple realised that they had left a bag in the car and instead of asking them to remove 2 bags already on and sort it out at reception the bus driver went with them to find the bag - another 10 minutes wait; We got to gate and walked straight on to the plane.
we did not have to wait around especially on arriving back in the cold weather
20min wait seems for ever when it's late at night and your cold and tierd
All went smoothly, pleasant, helpful staff, was dropped off a little too far from departures but thats an age thing and have been told that it is cheaper to park on airport site. Otherwise very good.
Best price, efficient reception, quick transfer, only had to wait 32 seconds for bus to meet us on return. Cannot fault.
Very good, at the beginning of the holiday everything worked like clockwork and at the end of the journey, although quite a wait for the coach everything worked really well for us. Thankyou.
Always use Airparks, have never had any problems or delays and the staff are very friendly. Would highly recommend.
The electric went down when we arrived but the staff were very pleasant. GOOD!!
Cars were parked very close,i could hardly get in, and I am sure the indent on my rear door was not there before i parked
Directions were excellent, staff very good. Whole experience was hassle free.
No hassles at all. Coach transfer driver very helpful with cases. Only suggestion would be that Airparks sign needs to be more clearly marked from main road- We did not realise it was located actually on site of Donnington race park and had some problems finding it.
Would definately use your services again. The whole thing was a stress free and pleasant experience.
Entered Airparks post-code into web mapping site and it took me to the wrong place.
Park in the pouring rain, haul bags to reception in pouring rain, haul bags back across car park to coach (in pouring rain) which then drives within 2 feet of reception on way out???
We have regularly used Airparks at Donnington Park when we fly from East Midlands Airport. We have never had any problems and have never had to wait very long for a bus to and from the airport. The staff have always been very friendly and helpful.
good service to use, easy transfer to airport. reliable,good value for money.
would definitely recommend they assisted where they could and made the start and finish of our holiday enjoyable. will use again
