Manchester Airport Short Stay Parking

One point of disappointment. On my instructions from your company I was informed to go to a "manned paystation". After searching the airport terminal for a "manned paystation" and not finding one then finally finding someone to assist me to find out there have not been any at the Manchester airport for at least ten years I thought I would be kind to inform you so your new customers would not have the same frustration that I had.

It did what it said, other than that it is just parking we are talking about!!

We were very glad we booked this car park and not one of those that required bus transfer. We travelled as two adults with two small kids and, although more expensive, it meant that we could pile up everything (including the sleepy kids) on two trollies and just walk quickly from the car to the terminal, and the other way round on return. It also meant that, in spite of the cold, we were able to leave the bulky winter coats in the car, instead of carrying them to our tropical destination. The car park was easy to find and everything went smoothly in the end, even though the 'actions' required were not exactly as described in the confirmation e-mail. We put only the debit card used for payment into the machine slot to enter the car park and did not get any ticket; we did the same to exit the car park two weeks later, but this was after we spent some time trying to find the non-existent ticket in the car or our purses and discussing whether we had seen any manned payment booths! I vaguely remembered reading in other people's reviews that they only needed the card, in spite of the written instructions, so we eventually tried that and it worked first time. Would recommend it to people travelling with a lot of luggage and/or with small children.

The bays need to have numbers or letters for easy finding.The message said find a manned station but they dont exist only someone talking through the Help button.Instructions need to be clearer

The car park was ideally situated across the road from departures which meant we were in the check in queue within 5 minutes of our arrival. No need for another journey on a bus which can be time consuming when you have already travelled for an hour before getting to the airport. We were not 100 % sure we were in the right area as it did not have any signage on the barrier or ticket machine for stays of 1 week, however we presed the help key and the gentlement that answered was very helpful.

It was really convenient to park in the short stay, the car was secure and it was easy to park. There are no manned paystations in the car park so you need to ignore the instructions on the booking form and go straight to the barrier and press the help button to exit.

Very convenient for terminal 3 - but dearer than the off airport parks - pay your money and take your choice. All in all it was a good parking experience - pity the airline cancelled the flight!

The car park for T3 was really easy to find, a short walk into the termninal undercover, straight back out when we returned, had no problems at all. We feel confident to use this service again!

The Manchester short-term parking option was very convenient. As it was dark on both outbound and inbound, I found it safe. It was also quick as there is only a short walk to the terminal. For the convenience involved it was also reasonable value for money.

Would use this car parking again, but apparently the exit procedure of inserting your card never works so the company need to look at this. Otherwise - excellent.
