found long stay car park easy , followed instructions, everything went smoothly , with no problems , tranfares were quick , upon arrival back from holiday , transfare bus was waiting , took us straight to our car great parking will recommend
no hassle for us parked the car the bus turned up in no time we kept the car keys did the trip came back the bus was outside arrivals stright to car park and off we went.
This is the first time that we have used the on-site car park, having previously always used off-site long stay car parks. We found the service extremely simple to use and very convenient indeed, particularly with small children. The shuttle bus dropped us right at departures within a couple of minutes on the way there and on our return there was next to no wait at arrivals (time from landing to getting into the car was a total of 35 mins). My only concern would be the number of vehicles parked in unmarked bays, but we had no trouble finding a free space when we arrived - so perhaps we got lucky? On the whole, we would highly recommend this service.
Drive around the carpark and you'll find a spot; some people just seem to park anywhere without doing a full lap. Good bus service, was in the terminal within 15 mins of parking and swift pick up at 4am.
website very easy to use and book, service at long stay very good, credit card acceptted very quickly, easy to park even though very busy. buses were about every 10mins. would use this service again.
When we arrived, we managed to get into the Staff Car Park at Long Stay Terminal 2 as a result of the barriers not working and poor signposting. We only discovered we had done so when we got to the bus, where the driver, seeing that we were not in uniform, told we were in the wrong car park and would have to move our car or have difficulty getting out on our return. On our return we got onto the bus at the bus stop for "Car Park Buses". This resulted in a 30 minute trip round and outside the airport. We visited the Shuttle Car Park, Terminal 3, Terminal 1 and finally returned to Terminal 2. (We were not the only ones to take the scenic tour!). We then got off the bus and from the same bus stop managed to get a bus which took us to Long Stay Terminal 2. It seems to me that they need to sort out the signposting, both in the Car Park and more importantly at Terminal 2, or get bus drivers who are capable of ensuring that their passengers are on the correct bus - or both the signposting and the bus drivers! By contrast, in our week in New York, we never once got lost or got on the wrong Subway. Home Sweet Home?
overall very good although coming back was very full and with cases turned into a bit of a circus for people getting on and off.
Our experience of this car park has bee excellent.Easy to find and right near the terminal. As we parked by the bus stop a bus came straight away and when we returned we walked out of the terminal and there was a bus! Have used it before with excactly the same result,maybe we were lucky but we have recommended it to other people and their experience has been positive.Great value for money and if you book early you can get a bargain.! Also you keep your keys and it feels safe.
I was happy with this car park - it was nearby, quick and easy, plenty of space even on a busy weekend, and the buses were running. I walked as it was literally 5 mins. Price wise, its not bad compared to the others.
Bus journeys ok, could do with more live information like when is the next bus due, route etc. This would take awy the apprehension of the first time I have used this service. But good service worth paying the extra to be near the airport with a quicker arrival and getaway. Clean tidy and polite.
One strange problem. Our credit card was not accepted when entering or exiting the car park so we had to 'call' for help and read out our booking reference.
Although I arrived in the middle of the night and so there were no staff present, the automated process worked perfectly. Transfer buses were frequent although I decided to walk the short distance to the terminal. On exit it was a simple process of remembering on which card the parking was paid for and entering it at the barrier for immediate exit. Highly recommended.
directions were easy to follow, secure car parking, barriers and security lighting. The transfer buses were frequent so we didn't have to wait long to transfer to the airport. Same applies for the return journey, we didn't have to wait long for a bus (and it was 2.00am.) it was well worth the money, recommended
This was a good no-nonsense efficient service. I booked into the car part and was able to leave my car in a safe place and did not have to worry about it. I would recommend this service and would definately use it again.
I had no problems parking at T2 long stay, found a space straight away and there was a bus waiting to take us to the terminal. No problems with returning either. So no complaints!
not great buses weren't as frequent as advertised, although not used other car parks
We booked this car park because it was on the airport, there are buses running frequently but on the outward journey we walked to the teminal and it was quicker than waiting for the bus as it's so close. The bus was waiting outside the terminal so we just jumped on on our return. The car park is lit very well and we were not concerned at leaving our car there, you keep your keys so no worries that someone may take your car for a joy ride like at some less reputable car parks. Great value for money and I'd definately use it again.
Apparently the instructions issued with the booking were incorrect. Putting one's credit card in the slot doesn't "do the business" with the barriers as they stated - it all has to be done by intercom! This caused a certain amount of confusion to other users as well as me. Otherwise the service was as you would have expected.
quite good overall, no parking spaces available on the customer parking had to use staff parking and bus facility. returning on customer bus early hours in the morning with children, we had to walk to our car in the staff parking area.we prepaid for parking and on leaving put the wrong card in machine and paid again. rang parking services next day and they were very helpful and returned the fees back within the week.
