“Spaces too close
No numbers on each space
Glasgow Airport recognises your reg number to let you in or out....Edinburgh still working with tickets very old fashioned.”
“Planes parking bus service is good.
Each time I stay your system fails to recognise I’ve prepaid for parking. As a result I need to press the intercom to gain exit which is annoying, especially after an hours delay to off board a plane after landing.”
Hi there,
Thank you for your review.
It sounds as though our automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) is having trouble picking up your registration correctly. When this occurs, it means our system doesn't match you to your booking and you are then charged the roll-up rate in error upon exit and I understand the frustration that it causes.
I'm glad you managed to get it sorted at the time.
Kind regards,

“Everything was good but my car was hit by someone. Not sure if i can claim it. I was parked nicely in the first place. My advice is 50/50 experience to park at the Airport.”

“Paid in advance but on exit there was a charge for 150 pounds. Not what I needed at 1.30 am when I was exhausted and just wanted to get home. Thankfully the person I spoke to was helpful and sorted it for me.”

“The process for parking in the fast park area is brilliant, seamless and very easy to navigate. Literally 2 mins walk into the airport however this was let down by unexpected charges. Despite entering your flight details when you make the booking when we arrived the machine required us to pay an additional £15. No explanation and when I queried it with the parking attendant he said there was nothing we could do we just had to pay it. When we returned to exit the car park we then had to pay an additional £6 charge to get out. This created a negative experience on what otherwise would have been a very positive review. Be prepared for additional unexpected, unexplained charges!”

“Access and exit very easy although someone has hit my car in car park and driven off without reporting it,
I have emailed Edinburgh Airport and am awaiting a reply to see if it has been captured on CCTV
Wither I will recommend will depend on the outcome of CCTV investigations”
“Booking and finding the parking was straightforward. However exiting was not. I had pre booked and prepaid but when my husband put the ticket in on exiting tried to charge £180 and we couldn’t exit. My husband is hard of hearing and it was not easy using the intercom - I had to jump out of car to help with audio but they seemed to sort it and opened the barrier. Really not good after a long flight.”

“Pretty poor service from Edinburg parking, accidentally parked in the wrong park as was rushing to get there and was charged £315 per car to get out after my weeks holiday, money I can Iill afford to lose, tried phoning but was told to send in an email to which I’ve done, it’s a shame because my previous visits have been a great experience”

“Getting into the carpark using my booking was good with no issues. On leaving when I put my ticket in the gate machine, the display said I had an unpaid amount of over £200 which alarmed me. I used the call button to speak to someone and when answered, I explained the situation and that person didn't speak to me at all but opened the gate for me so I drove out with no explanation given. Quite annoying and very worrying at the time. Not so good.”
Thank you for your review,
I'm please to hear that you were happy with the entry process.

“Car park was great and an easy walk to terminal with only hand luggage. Access and egress was simple and not too hard to find a space.
My only issue being that my flight was cancelled and I arrived back 12 hours later than scheduled there was no way to adjust my booking so I ended up having to pay more for these few hours than I did for the previous 6 days combined.”
Hi there,
Thank you for your review.
I'm sorry to hear that your flight was cancelled and this resulted in an additional charge at the car park.
For future travel, we provide advise on what to do if you are returning back to the car park late on our booking confirmation emails, as well as, in our FAQs on our website.

“Multi Storey is convenient but along with all other options it has become a very expensive addition to your trip. A huge area previously set aside for Terminal Parking is now mostly empty as it's used for the Park and Fly service. Disabled parking sopaces are at premium and if needed you can find yourself driving around for a long time looking for one. Too much area has also been handed over to electric charging points. In the pouring rain and late at night it's not a welcoming location. Pavements for pulling a suitacse are poor with too many uneven surfaces, kerbs, bus lanes etc to negotiate. Staff are generally friendly and helpful. At the end of the day it's there and it's needed but the Airport or whoever owns the carparking is making a fortune by the amount it charges customers.”
Hi there,
Thank you for your review.
I’m sorry to hear that you found it difficult to find a space in our car park. If ever faced with the same problem in future, please ring the intercom at the exit barrier and our team will provide a suitable alternative.

“I chose Plane Parking as a late reservation so relatively value for money for a three day trip. Fairly quick shuttle bus pick up but my ticket didn't work on leaving so had to use the intercom. The responde was very helpful and i was quickly processed using my numberplate rather than my booking refs etc. Overall though i feel the parking is ridiculously expensive across he airport which takes a shine off holidays.”

“We were affected by the Crowdstrike bug that cancelled lots of flights. As a result, we collected our car more than 24 hours late. Edinburgh Airport Parking charged us almost as much for those two days as they did for two weeks. Not impressed at this brutal exploitation of customers after a miserable trip back.”
“When leaving the car park I was asked to pay £170 when inputting my ticket, despite having pre-paid for the stay. The customer support was quick but this isn’t the first time this has happened.”

“I parked in Plane Parking which is probably the furthest away from the airport but no shuttle bus. Luckily I only had carry on luggage but it would not be suitable for people with a lot of luggage or young children.”
Thank you for your review,
I can confirm that our Plane Parking operates a shuttle bus therefore it sounds like you have parked in the wrong car park.

“The parking itself it's fine, however it's far too easy to end up in the drop off parking and end up paying the £5 charge. Please double check what lane your are driving in”
“The idea is great and handing the car key in was reasonably straightforward (though i had to do everything myself). However, getting back, we were faced with two walls of small lockers and several screens, with no indication of which one to use. Then, once we manage to get the bar code to scan and finally get the right bank of lockers to get our key, we had to work out where the car was and then lug our two large heavy suitcases across the badly surfaced road to the very end of the car park to get our car.
If you are going to offer a premium service, there needs to be an element of 'service' in it. If I have to do all of the work, it's not a service.”
“It would be good to see more dedicated disabled bays nearer the lifts on each floor, particular the second floor/fast track access, and also better monitoring of cars that are parked in disabled spaces that they are actually permitted to do so, i.e.displaying valid blue badges. On the whole though, the process of booking and parking at the Airport is really good and the inclusion of fast track admission is well worth it.”
