“I used the FastPark service and it was very simple and saved having to find a parking space which might a long way from the terminal. Returning and collecting car keys was just as easy.”
“Used it before but this new early checking a joke put all my details in when scand QR code it had all wrong info and had to start again
A total waste of my time”
“I am a frequent traveller and regularly park at the airport. On this recent trip, I’d mistakenly booked twice and I only realised once I was on holiday.
I contacted the parking team and they resolved it quickly, which was a huge relief.
I like the human touch that is offered and it encourages me to book again in future.
Thanks!”
“So simple and easy to use we arrived at our alloted time and within 5 mins we were at security and on the return back in car with 5 mins will definitely be using fast park again”
“The airport parking itself was fine; however, the experience of parking there feels like a money grab because it’s very expensive. I have tried various options, they are all quite costly.
The worst part about being in the long stay lot is that the walk from the car to the airport takes about 10 to 15 minutes. Every time you cross a road, there are bumps on the pavement, which are presumably there so that blind people know where the roads are. I guess this is fair. However, I can’t help thinking that no blind people wouldn't be using this road unless they were accompanied by someone else because they wouldn’t be driving the car. Having these bumps only damages the wheels on your luggage. We encountered nearly 30 of these areas from where we were parked. They are far too many and very inconvenient for anyone wheeling a suitcase with wheels.”

I am very disappointed and surprised with the Long Stay Parking at Edinburgh Airport.
I did not know this car park would be this bad. The distance from the car park to the terminal is far too long, almost 1.5 km, and there is no covered walkway or roof to protect passengers from the bad Scottish weather.
I find it unacceptable that passengers have to walk such a long distance in the rain before taking a flight. Clothes, luggage, documents and even passports can get wet. An airport car park should have a covered route or some proper protection against rain and wind.
Honestly, I am very surprised to see this type of car park at an airport. I do not understand how this project was legally approved or authorised in these conditions, without proper protection for passengers against bad weather. In my opinion, it does not meet a minimum level of comfort, safety and respect for travellers.
Therefore, I recommend all passengers not to book this car park under any circumstances. Even if it was offered to me for free, I would not park here again.
In my opinion, this is disrespectful to passengers. A long-stay airport car park should not operate in these conditions, with such a long walkway and no proper protection.

Estoy muy decepcionado y sorprendido con el Long Stay Parking del Aeropuerto de Edimburgo.
No sabía que este aparcamiento fuera tan malo. La distancia desde el aparcamiento hasta la terminal es demasiado larga, casi 1,5 km, y además no hay ningún camino cubierto ni techo para proteger a los pasajeros del mal tiempo de Escocia.
Me parece inaceptable que una persona tenga que caminar tanto bajo la lluvia antes de coger un avión. La ropa, la maleta, los documentos e incluso el pasaporte pueden mojarse. Un aparcamiento de aeropuerto debería tener una ruta cubierta o algún tipo de protección adecuada contra la lluvia y el viento.
Sinceramente, estoy muy sorprendido de ver un aparcamiento de este tipo en un aeropuerto. No entiendo cómo este proyecto fue aprobado legalmente o autorizado en estas condiciones, sin una protección adecuada para los pasajeros frente al mal tiempo. Para mí, no cumple con un nivel mínimo de comodidad, seguridad y respeto hacia las personas que viajan.
Por lo tanto, recomiendo a todos los pasajeros que no reserven este aparcamiento bajo ninguna circunstancia. Aunque me lo ofrecieran gratis, yo no volvería a aparcar aquí.
En mi opinión, esto es una falta de respeto hacia los pasajeros. Un aparcamiento de larga estancia en un aeropuerto no debería funcionar en estas condiciones, con un camino tan largo y sin ninguna protección adecuada.

“Easy to locate and park, but only 2 bus stances, which could be problematic for elderly,however easy to walk on, compared to other parks. Bus available on departure, and journey to drop off took about 5 mins. On exit however, barrier would not raise when ticket inserted, and had to seek help.”
