“On arrival at 4.00 a.m. on Monday 3rd June the number recognition was not working, and we had to take a ticket to get in. When we came home yesterday 14th June, the machine on exit would not recognise our ticket. This then involved using the intercom to get the barrier raised. What is the point of having all this technology if it does not work?. I use this facility 3 times a year, and the last two times have been a problem. The prebook price is fair, and the facility is an easy walk from the check in desks, most of it covered.”
Thank you 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. I understand the frustration that it causes however I'm glad you managed to get it sorted at the time.

“1. Ridiculous for a huge facility the size of PlaneParking not to have a system for idenfifying/numbering individual spaces.
2. Confused & confusing identifying of Zones.
3. Security appeared to be OK.”

“Car park was fine but had to wait 30 mins at 03:30 for the bus to turn up to take us to the terminal despite advertising journeys every 12 mins. Drivers excuse was that he was on a break which I understand, everyone is entitled to a break, however there should be provisions to keep the service operating during breaks. Happy to take my money but disappointed with the service.”

“When I logged into my account it showed as no bookings. I emailed to query this and was told that I had booked on a guest account and I could view and alter my booking by following the link provided. The link took me to a page that kept showing an error when I tried to retrieve my booking. Since I had given all my booking details in my email and they were able to tell me that I had booked on a guest account I was satisfied that my booking was in the system. When I arrived at the car park my reg wasn’t atomically read as was described in my confirmation email and I had to push the button to get a ticket. On exit the machine tried to charge me £150. I used the telecom to speak to an operator and explained that I had pre booked and gave my reg. the operator then disconnected without informing me that they had found my reservation and left me panicked until the barrier opened. This was my first time staying in the mid stay car park and I can’t say I will be booking it again.”
“Usually book long stay & do the short walk but decided on terminal parking due to offer on price. Never again, took ages looking for a space, in the end parking in an overflow area. While long stay is getting busier & busier, never had this kind of frustrating experIence. One positive was getting out straight away with machine recognising my prepaid booking, as other times I have had to call the attendant.”

“I recently used Plane Parking at Edinburgh Airport and found the process of booking straightforward, but accessing the parking area on arrival and my return to it poor. The congested state of the access road and temporary traffic lights stalled progress. In addition on my return the bus was delayed in leaving, presumably waiting for more passengers, which didn't arrive. Also this bus was absolutely filthy and had no special luggage space allocated, which my arrival bus did!!
Date of experience: 07 June 2024”
Thank you for your review. We have recently commenced resurfacing works of our alternative access road and unfortunately this will mean there is some disruption to traffic accessing plane parking. We are hoping that the works will be completed in the coming weeks and we are sorry for any inconvenience caused.

“When leaving the car park I was fined £150 which was subsequently returned to me as I understand that the ANPR did not work. A very embarrassing experience having guests in the car.”
Thank you for your review,
I can see that our support team replied to your feedback and issued a refund for the overcharged amount. As advised our automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) system didn'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.

“Only needed a couple of hrs to pick up family but due pricing structure this cost me £39! That and the poor signage makes it very stressfull to find the multistorey... as far as recommending anyone you have a monopoly at the airport your service is a need not a want.”

“Barrier didn't go up on arrival caused stress buzzed let me in. Trying to leave ticket asked for 195.00 when pre paid again had to buzz very stressful after flight. Nice staff on intercom dod let me out and didn't have to pay as already had. Overall poor show.”

“£90 for 3 days terminal parking - and not a single space available in the terminal car park! Kind of beats the purpose of paying to be close to the terminal when you end up in the overflow.”

“The plane parking is far away and takes a while to get in. The overall extra time is close to 20-30mins!
I'd normally select the multi story but the cost was astronomical £169 for 3 days so we plumped for the £59 plane parking. The bus was fine but took so long overall. And then you have to walk from the bus stops beyond the taxi ranks. Seems like budget or bankrupt is the choice. And despite the prepay the barrier in exit asked for another £120 - we had to use the intercom to get the barrier raised.
Overall if I was in my own I'd definitely not choose to park there especially if in the dark.”

“Could not find a space, even though the signs were indicating plenty of spaces. Ended up finding one space on the roof, after about 30mins going round and round”
