FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Car Park Information

How secure are the car parks?

Look for the ParkMark award. By choosing a Park Mark Safer Parking facility you will benefit from a car park that has been inspected by a specially trained police officer; uses modern security systems such as alarms and/or CCTV; and is regularly visited and re-assessed for inspections to maintain the Park Mark award.

Do I need to leave my car keys?

This depends on the car parks service you have booked, please check the More Info on the website prior to booking and the Important Info on your Booking Confirmation. If you are unsure prior to booking please contact our customer services team via email or live chat.

What does gate price mean?

Gate price is the term used to mean paying on arrival or onsite. These prices are from 10% to as much as 60% higher than the pre-booked price online.

What is on-airport car parking?

This is when the car park is situated within the airport perimeter. On-airport car parking is usually the closest service to the terminal, with the shortest transfer times.

What is off-airport car parking?

Off-airport car parks are services that operate outside of the airport perimeter and are generally owned by private car parking companies. A shuttle bus is required to take you to and from the airport terminal.

What is meet and greet/chauffeur/valet parking?

This is one of the most convenient car parking services — you can simply drive to the airport terminal where you will be met by a fully-insured chauffeur who will take your vehicle to a secure storage facility for the duration of your trip. Your vehicle will be waiting at the terminal on your return. Arrival and departure procedures apply.
