We have used Airparks before , & although the company have expanded, the service is still as good as ever. No frills just good old fashion courtesy, along with great value for money & trustworthy staff.We wouldn't use any other parking facilities for our flight trips.
Booked night before online. Fast and efficient to use. Only disappointment was that the Airparks bus was the last to arrive at the pickup on the journey back
I travelled on my own with a 9 month old and the drivers in particular were great in helping me with my luggage - very much appreciated. The ladies on the desk too were very helpful.
This parking experience was without any surprises and I can recommend it for further customers. The winter time might require a closer parking though. This parking is a few miles away from the airport. Good job!
Cheerful welcome, pleasant staff who even recognised us on our return and who expressed concern for our welfare. A pleasant experience all round, thank you.
My only suggestion would be that one bus is laid on to pick up from the South terminal and one from the North. This would avoid the scramble to board the bus at the north as it normally arrives fairly full having picked up from the South. I was lucky enough to board the 1st bus (Just!) but a lot of fellow passengers couldn't and although the buses are fairly frequent it can be frustrating after a long flight.
Unfortunately our flight was cancelled due to weather conditions so car park was not needed (and can't be fefunded!)
I was disappointed to find my car very muddy inside the driver side. I think the staff should be more careful and maybe clean what one would make dirty due to wheather condition. I would like to receive your response to my remark before book again with Airparks in future. A part of that everything else was ok.I do though believe you will not publish my view and experience for other to see.
The park is good value for money, but contrary to what the web site suggets, it is not on the access to the airport and is rather a long way from one of the terminals. We thought we were in plenty of time, but the transfer took so long to leave and so long to get to the terminal, we only made our flight by three minutes. It was raining heavily when we parked, but we were sent back to the car to put a label on it. They thought it was a joke that we had to do this and they didn't. We got soaked to the skin.
I found the staff to be helpful and informative in offering options. They were aware of the time of next transfer, and fairly fast to complete the process. The process itself was quite straightforward. I had a little difficulty finding the key box, but otherwise the parking went very smoothly.
Used Airparks for the first time and was generally pleased. Did not quite understand why we went to the other terminal on the way in AND on the way out. Also waited nearly 25 mins for pick up ????????
Parking the car at any airport is the worst part of the journey but Airparks made the experience as best as could be expected both from the arriving and the departure.
Upon arrival staff helpful, transfer efficient, easy to find transfer back to vehicle.
Finding the place is difficult even with sat nat on a dark morning in the wet.The check in was easy and we were on the bus within 5 mins. The bus to & from the airport was packed so we had to stand which was off putting as so early am going to airport. The journey seemed to take ages and trying to go to North Terminal both to & from airport. Service of car return was simple and efficient at desk.
if you're travelling to gatwick south terminal leave a bit more time - north terminal is the first drop off point so a bit more than 10mins is needed. But generally very good service
I didn't know that bus transfers from Airparks to Terminal are every 15 minutes (hour, 15, 30, 45) and it takes 10 minutes to terminal. I just missed one while booking in and was therefore a bit late arriving at Terminal. I was persuaded to book the car delivery service to save time on my return journey which was efficient and quick service.
Only one comment to make to what was otherwise a very good service. I was requested to approch the site from Charlwood road, but there was no direction signs to take me off to the Airparks site. I had a postcode but it did not appear to direct me off Charlwood road. Regards Mr McCaffrey
Very easy to find if you have your map, but if you forgot (as I did) A few more sign posts would be helpful!! otherwise efficient and helpful with no fuss.
This was the third time I have used Airparks and I will be using them again. The car park itself is very close to the airport, meaning minimal transfer time. I also took advantage of their car pick-up service for my return journwy. For £20 they bring your car to the airport for you saving at least 1/2 hour on your return journey.
Arrival was fine, efficient & easy. The return was not as good, a long wait for the bus at Gatwick, the coutesy phone did not have Airparks listed (I think because the name has changed) so just had to wait hoping that we were in the right place.
