“The parking was fine; the bus driver was really helpful to everyone. However, your booking system seemed to default to a very old car licence plate number. We have used Edinburgh airport parking in recent years using our current car so were suprised when your system used the old number. We changed to the new number on line but on exit we could not leave.
We phoned via the ticket machine and the operative did find us again via the old number. However, he was rude and talked over me as I was explaining what had happened.
I judge a company on its ability to respond where things go wrong. On this occaision, we received a poor response and this will be reflected in the score I give.
Also, I think you need better signage at the car park for EAP.”
Hello Dave,
Thanks for your review.
It sounds as though our automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) system hasn't registered you upon entry. 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. This doesn't happen often but when it does, I understand the frustration that it causes.
I’m sorry to hear you found our wayfinding confusing. Clear signage is one of the most important things to have in any busy environment, but especially in an airport. Please be assured that we are actively working on our wayfinding strategy, and we will ensure feedback, like yours, is brought into the discussion.
Kind regards,
Customer Support Team
“Prepaid tickets invariably do not work. At the barrier I am often confronted with the barrier screen saying I owe a huge amount and then spend 10 mins on the intercom to be let out. Also, 1 of 3 lifts usually not working.”

“I paid a high price as I didn’t book early enough, but I also paid for fast track which was not provided on my ticket.
Being a motorbike, I had to press the buzzer and wait to be issued a ticket by the attendant. Fast track that I paid £7 extra for was not printed on it.
You need a better system for motorbikes.”
“On our arrival from the airport we found our petrol had been siphoned off and we were stranded just outside the parking. Fortunatly a kind gentleman helped us to get petrol in the area. very disappointed overall.”

“Even although I had booked and paid for a week in the Short Term car park, on my return the ticket that was issued did not work and I was asked to pay again, eventually after a 5 min wait I managed to contact you and they were able to correct the problem. This is the second time this has happened to me, not a great recommendation for parking with you.”

“Dropping car off was straight forward and have used this service before with no issues but on return the box it said had my key was empty and the woman in the office ignored the bell when the wife was pressing it, she had to jump up at window and shout in and eventually the computer gave us a different box number which you don't want at 230 in the morning.”
Thank you for your review,
I'm sorry to hear that you had issues when collecting your keys from the collection point however I'm pleased to hear that you were able to collect your keys.

“We parked at Plane parking
Excellent service getting from car park to airport when we arrived
Quick efficient
Not the same when we arrived home
Bus should run every 12 minutes
We waited at least 45 minutes for the bus for the return journey to the car park and those in front of us waited longer
Very poor
Contact phone number for car park did not work
We are flying from Edinburgh in September and I will not be booking this car park again”

“We parked in the multi-storey. The approach signage is confusing with at least two cars in front of us doing U-turns in front of the first set of barriers. This set of barriers is dominated by 'No Entry - Buses Only' signs. However, we managed to get to the multi-storey which was fine.
More concerning was that on exit it took at least 30 minutes to exit the airport after leaving the multi-storey as all traffic appeared to be funneled into a single lane exit at Eastfield Road roundabout. The overal impression is that the airport road infrastructure is inadequate for the number of customers. Not impressed!”

“Found the location of Plane Parking even MORE remote from terminal building now. Only 2 pick up/drop off points. Very difficult to find your car on return . Some kind of improved signage / coding on roadways needed. Bus design not suited to carriage of luggage and passengers.”
Hello,
Thank you for your review.
Our car parks are signposted by wayfinding, located in key traffic areas. I’m sorry to hear that you found our wayfinding to be unhelpful. Please be assured that we are working hard to upgrade our wayfinding where required.

“First time using Edinburgh Airport. Booked the Plane Car Park for 12days, returned on 23rd June, from France, unaware that an event was being held at Ingleston that day. When I got through the car park barrier was hit by an absolute traffic nightmare. Almost 30minutes before two police officers appeared to direct traffic. In total stuck for an hour. The Airport authorities should have been prepared for this....not a happy bunny, and will actually avoid flying from Edinburgh Airport and use Glasgow Airport in future.”
“It would be good if you monitored the flights if they have been delayed like mine did. I had to pay for getting out of the carpark again at the last barrier.”
“Location great.
Shuttle Bus frequent service and short journey time.
Booking on line my car registration number wasn't recognised. On picking up the car after our trip this resulted in me being informed we owed £80 at the barrier despite having pre paid. Quickly resolved but this has happened before. Needs resolved.”

“Can understand why price lower than competitors. Not easy to find site as roads being worse than any possible potholes. Not clearly marked and site basic. Bus stops not near enough to amount of spaces Buses are not suitable or geared to handle suitcases if half full. No assistance by drivers in helping to board buses with suitcases..
Lots to learn from your competitors at Glasgow Airport. Very disappointed in both Car Park as well as Edinburgh Airport in general.
I am an experienced traveller and have travelled before from Edinburgh. They say things get better with age, unfortunately this does not apply to both my experience at Plane Parking or Edinburgh Airport. Disgraceful to think this is our Capital cities welcome to both foreign visitors as well as the Scottish travellers.”

“The Terminal Surface car park is increasingly busy and there are a) too few disabled parking spaces and b) non-disabled drivers selfishly park in disabled spaces”
“Sunday afternoon to Friday morning £130. Very expensive, my plane got delayed missed a connection arrived 8 hrs late and I've to be charged again. Won't use again.”

“You need to get proper luggage buses where you can store cases safely. There is nowhere to put cases! We had a bus full with young children in prams and children standing with heavy cases flying everywhere! The aisle was blocked with cases so some people couldn’t get off at their desired stop to collect car. This type of parking should be advertised as small cabin bags only until you get a bus that’s fit for storing larger hold bags. The price of it is great for families on a budget however it’s unsafe to have cases flying about with young children.”

“As usual, your camera has misread my number plate, and I had to go into your office to get it changed and amended! Edinburgh Airport car park is the only one with this sub optimal system.”
