Summer Special Parking reviews page 25

Never had any problems with Summer Special. Nice bright signs directing you to car park which is worth a lot when you do not know where you are going. Staff friendly. If I could wish to change one thing it would be that cars a brought near to reeeption when ready for collection as after a long flight, battling through customs and the long walk through the airport, it would be nice to see you car waiting for you on arrival at reception.

The staff were very friendly and I had an efficient and fast service at the check-in and out as well as the transfers. My comments on cost are more that for your car to sit and do nothing for a week it's expensive, but was still less so than elsewhere. I would use them again.

The price was the best around hence us using Summer parking again. The only down side was, I feel the drivers could have been a bit more helpful in terms of organising the bags on the coach as it is just a free for all and people just chucking there bags on and really really given a toss about anybody else. This was clear from the airport pick-up as the driver just sat there peering out the window and letting everyone get on with it, other people put there bags on the racks and justed stood in the aisle's not given a toss about anyone else trying to get there bags on. Absolute organised chaos. The other issue I had was when I picked up the car, the car battery was completely flat, I went in to the office and the lady was more than helpful and got some guy to jump start the vechicle. Having got home I noticed the radio had been lefted on and also the speedo reset. All in all a great price, office staff really helpful, drivers all tho they probably are not paid to lift the bags useless springs to mind.

I filled my with petrol before entering the car park saved doing it when i got back. the ticket said to expect 'at least an added 7 miles.I didnt reset my clock to check that out, however i did think that the fuel guage had dropped significantly. I was not amused. My car is quite nice to drive though.

My only complaint would be that when we came home in the early hours of the morning we found where to wait for our bus but there was complete chaos as there was no queing system and so people just pushed in which caused some very frayed tempers and caused one man to be very abusive! Some sort of system would be so much better, even if it was just a sign to say " queue from this end"

Very efficient staff, and a quick turn around, there was a coach waiting to take us to the airport, and on our return, we waited maybe 3 minutes before the coach was there ready for us. My only concern is that more people will know about you and our secret parking will get out!

Very organised, i drove in and was directed by car park staff where to park, very convienient being able to leave the car right outside transfer bus, didn't have to haul luggage too far, no waiting, no mucking around, was straight in and straight on the bus. On my return to pick up car, again very organised, after a long flight back, only had to wait 5 minutes for the bus. i will definately use summer special again, and recommend to friends, price very reasonable also.

I found the signposted directions very confusing. I went around one roundabout three times before spotting the (very) small sign on the correct exit. Check-in was very efficient as was pick-up at the end of the booking. The bus transfer is not user friendly if you have a load of luggage - not enough floor space for big cases.

very happy about the service. a soon as we arrive at the car park i took us only 5 minutes to hand the keys and we were on the coach transfer. at our return we waited about 10 minutes for the bus and even if it was full when we got back at the carpark it was very quick to get our car back. we dint have to look very far for our car it was park just beside the reception. Excellent service we will be using again with no doubt.

Booking in and out was efficient, fast and fine. Directions on return were fine, but the only bad part about the experience was when we landed at 02:30 am and got to the pickup point there was a huge queue and we did not get on the first coach. The driver called for another coach which was dispatched immediately, but when you are tired and you have children with you it would have been better to be able to get on the first available coach. I think reviewing delayed and late flights pro actively to count the number of seats required on the coaches would enhance the service offered.

I used Summer Parking as it had been very good in past and one of cheapest options available. The latter is still true, but this time we found the return buses were infrequent & became a free-for-all with tired punters fighting to get on. To cap it all my car had a mysterious flat tyre which I had to pump up before leaving the park. It has not recurred so I cannot explain how it happened.

Really Easy to use; Easy to find; and Easy to find when we got back. Have never done this before; and without a doubt would use this service again. We dropped our car off; the courtesy coach was sitting right outside and whizzed us off to the terminal - the coach driver on this occasion was extremely pleasant and spoke especially to my son (who has special needs) - telling him to have a lovely holiday - a lovely touch. Coming back - it was all clearly signposted - again we jumped on the coach and in a matter of minutes were off back to find our car. Our car was safe and sound!!!

We arrived at the car park 3.30am. Staff very friendly and polite. Coach waiting to go to terminal building, driver very helpful. It is very short trip from car park to terminal. Felt secure leaving the car with them, this is our 3rd time at this carpark and have never had any problems. Suggest you check directions to car park as can be hard to find in the dark. Small price to pay for such a good service.

Summer special Parking was £10 cheaper than any other quote so I used it rather than the company I usually use. It was fairly easy to find, just follow the perimeter road. Staff were courteous too. The only slight draw back was only 3 shuttles per hour compared to 4 at other car parks I've used. This is not a major problem on way out but if you time it wrong coming back that 20 minutes can seem like a life time! Still worth the cost savign though.

Direction were clear and exact, staff were very friendly and helpful. on my return i realised i left my ticket abroad, and had no problems retrieving my car, will definately use this service again. Next holiday is sept/oct and have recommended to friends. excellent value for money and great peace of mind.

I was impressed in the efficient and fast service we received on arrival.polite staff to assist. transfer was waiting. on return the instructions were perfectly clear and straightforward and tghe transfer was waiting. again excellent service. pick up of car again was quick and no time wasted. we were off our flight, luggage picked up transferred and in our car on our journey home in less than 40 minutes the quickest car parking experience i have ever had. i will definately use this company again and recomment it to friends and family.

We were pleasantly surprised on how easy it was to find Summer Special parking and the process of booking in, transfer to airport, transfer from airport and collecting our car could not have been easier. I would recomend this service and use it again in the future thanks Kev Robertson

I fly regularly about 5 or 6 times a year. This was by far the best car parking experience I have had at Gatwick. The last thing you want when returning long haul is to wait around for a bus or to collect keys. The whole process was smooth and I was quickly on the road. Even though a bus pulled away as I reached the stop. Another was only a few minutes behind it.

I was very happy with the signs, check in, coach transfers and speed of staff. I was very unhappy with the mud on my vehicle on return. It looked as if the vehicle had been parked in a pigs den and smelt like it also. With mud inside and outside the wheel arches, over the wheels and tyres and all over the lower part of the back of the vehicle. If I was not eagre to get home I would have walked back to check in and complained on site. I understand that all vehicles cannot be parked on site, but I expected the vehicle to be returned as I left it.

I had no problems with using Summer Special Parking. Every went smoothly from parking up, booking the car in, tranfers to and from the airport terminal and picking the car up to go home. I would certainly use Summer Special Parking again and recommend it to others.
