        Excellent service and secure parking at a very reasonable price. I would recommend Purple Parking to anyone flying from Heathrow.

        The driver who picked me up was rude, told me off for making him wait, never used words like 'please' or 'thank you' (when requesting a ticket uttered a command "Ticket!"), did not even help me put my big suitcase into the trailer. Disappointing after a 12 hour journey and a jet lag. Other than that - fantastic service, no waiting, no hussle - will use again for sure! Thank you.

        I was surprised how easy the whole parking experience was. at first I was a little worried handing my keys over as they could have been lost or given to the wrong person but when I arrived back they were ready and waiting as was my car, very happy with the whole deal. plus I don't know if I was just lucky but transfers were immediate both to and from terminal 4

        Had to wait 15mins for another party to arrive before heading to T4 and on return waited in xs of 30min for pick up,but so what,we'd waited 7.5 hrs in Uzbekistan for them to find a plane to take us on a one hour flight to Tashkent.Overall good value.

Mr Hughes 05 August, 2010

        We used the parking for a day, not knowing london we caught tube from Heathrow as this was on the same line as the stop we wanted, the parking was easy to find, easy to book and easy to pay, the journey from the parking to the airport was not to bad, lunch time. Coming back was very easy and quick, driver dropped us next to our car and off we went. very easy. definately use again.

NotAsDescribed 04 August, 2010

        Arrived 6pm on a wednesday. 15 minute wait at the site. Traffic was heavy but their website said typically 10 minute transfer & allow extra time at rush hour but an extra 40 minutes? The driver went off piste but just got into more traffic and doubled the journey length. More realistic estimates of transfer time and WAITING time at both ends would be helpful. Otherwise the system, security, helpfulness, information, communications etc. were fine.

        Your holiday starts here safe and sound no worries while you are away knowing that your car was safe and the high security was top rated from arrival and on return journey 1st class service

Ms BELL 26 July, 2010

        Absolutely MUST have a sat nav ! I am so hopeless with directions I would still be going around and around ... I'd have liked better signage for Purple earlier on in Southall and once familiar with the route then of course it would not be a problem to locate the premises. For a 1st timer going solo and anxious to get to the airport it's a bit of a challenge not to get lost with all the little roundabouts! When leaving be careful on the roundabout before the dip under the bridge or you could collide with someone coming in ... it's only single lane at this point.Great staff and service even at 5am on a Sunday ! Thankyou

        On entry to the site you feel safe and it all feels very efficient and the extra chauffer service that we had to get the car to us at the airport on our return was also handled very well and after 30 hours of travelling was much appreciated!!!

Mr Orford 20 July, 2010

        The staff are both curtious and helpful and on our return journey they offered advice on our route to our home enabling us to avoid the lenthy traffic jams on both the M4 and M25 which speeded up our trip home.

Miss Hazlewood 12 July, 2010

        The car park is too far away from the terminals so the transfer time is too long. Had to wait over 20 minutes to be collected from the airport on the return journey which was annoying after a long flight late at night. In total, after landing, it took over an hour to get back to my car.

        we will definitely use purple parking again. Everything went very smoothly from the onset. Good value for money.

Miss Taylor 04 July, 2010

        Found them easy to find and use and it's reassuring to know your car is safe and there for you when you return - you're literally dropped to it's door. Only problem we had was a bit of a wait outside in the cold at the bus stop before being collected and returned to our car. But apart from that I would use them again (only I'd advise leaving a good amount of time if you are travelling anywhere near rush hours as traffic can be heavy from the parking lot to the airport - it's very nice not to be driving yourself in it though!!!!) A service I would recommend and be using again.

Charles O'Flynn 02 July, 2010

        Staff very helpful and friendly - until problems get escalated to senior management/director level. Purple Parking, by their incompetence, lost all my bags on the way to LHR T1 - just dumped them by the door of T3! Don't just believe me, ask Heathrow police, who have one of their drivers on video, doing it. My wife and I lost our holiday and Purple Parking refuse to pay my direct losses of £700, citing their lack of responsibility as a result of having a disclaimer in their terms and conditions. Now we'll see if a court agrees with them. Purple Parking - if you don't like this review, don't treat your customers with contempt.

Mr Howard 01 July, 2010

        Overall, I found the whole experience pretty painless, once I had found the actual place, which was a bit of a challenge (could I suggest you put up actual purple signs, as us drivers are faced with a lot of information to process on the roads?). The one and only negative was my driver on the return pick-up from T1 - he was obviously on a personal call on his mobile - not the most professional image. Apart from that, I would definitely recommend

Miss Johnson 01 July, 2010

        Purple parking are very organised and the set up works. It is good value for money. However, on arrival I sat in the bus for 15- 20 minutes before we set off, with no information given by staff. When we set off, the driver thought it was OK to try and text whilst joining a motorway. He had no clue why I was requesting him to stop and tried to justify suggesting texting was safe. I did complain to the company and they were keen to follow up, but it was particularly dissapointing, especially as there were very young children on board.
