“The parking location and convenient access are excellent, but there are some drawbacks. The parking spaces are quite narrow, and I frequently found scratches or, on one occasion, a dent on my car. Probably the damage is caused by people handling their luggage through tiny spaces between the cars. Unfortunately, the parking does not take responsibility for any damages, and the staff have been rather unhelpful as well.”
“Parking is close to the airport but if you take a wrong turn on the way in you get funnelled into the drop off and charged £5 for 10 seconds of being in the same building you’ve already paid to get in to!”

“I was travelling on Friday 19 July 2024 , the day of the worldwide IT fiasco, to go on holiday.
I parked my car at 06.00. My flight was scheduled for 08.10 but was delayed and delayed until finally cancelled at 14.00.
When I got home I contacted Edinburgh Airport Parking as I had paid approx £165 for 10 days parking but only used about 8 hours.
I had hoped for a partial refund. I’ve been offered more parking as long as I book it by 30 September. That may not be possible.
This was not Edinburgh Airport Parkings fault and their terms and conditions do not allow for a refund if the booking is cancelled at such a late stage.
However, the cancellation was not my fault either and it was due to very unusual circumstances. I think a more customer friendly solution could have been achieved”
Thank you for your review,
Although we were not able to provide a refund I can see that you received a voucher for the cost of your parking to use for your future travels.

“I would have scored higher as this is the 2nd time I have used the FastPark facility and it is really good. My issue is when I returned at the end of my trip, I had to pay an additional £6 to exit the car park.
Arrived and dropped off my car and keys no problem at all, staff were really helpful.
Returned from my trip, my car was waiting where it said it would be, went to leave the car park, pulled up to the barrier and had to take a ticket, followed signs to the exit and another barrier. Inserted ticket I had just received at first barrier and only option I had to get through was to pay £6. No intercom button to explain my case, I had to pay or I wasn't getting out and a queue of traffic was building up behind me - 2 minutes in total from barrier to barrier - £6 it cost.
As previoulsy mentioned, I used the FastPark last year and wasn't charged this fee to exit.
Poor show from Edinburgh Airport Parking after spending £100 to leave my car there initially.”

Hi there,
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.

“It was difficult to locate… using an exact postcode to direct users to the lot is way better than text description of what road to follow, what round about exit and all.”
Hi there,
Thank you for your review.
I'm sorry to hear you didn't find the directions provided to be helpful. We do not provide postcodes for our car parks as directions are not always accurate when entered into Sat Navs however you can also find maps of our car parks on our website.

“We returned to our car parked literally into a barrier pole. Back bumper was pushed into a pole. Informed manager who came over and said, "Yes, that's been parked way too close". Moved car off the pole and he agreed there was minor damage, scraped paint and did I want an email from customer service. This was Monday 29th at 2pm, still no email received. The damage was indeed very minor however why did I pay £100 for my car to be parked on a pole?!”

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. This doesn't happen often but when it does, I understand the frustration that it causes however I'm glad you managed to get it sorted at the time.

“When we arrived we could not find a parking space available ,I had to drive around for approximately 10-15 minutes it looked like there was some maintenance going on in car park and there was loads of pickups parked in bays with workmen with hi viz jackets on having lunch in their vehicles ,eventually someone moved a car which gave us a space to park ,however the way cars were parked either side right on the white lines it made it very tight to park our vehicle ,this was terminal parking which you at a little extra for the convenience of being closer to terminal but in this instance I was worried about my vehicle being scratched or dented while on holiday due to way other cars were parked ,and yes on inspection of vehicle next morning in daylight when home I have 2 scratches and 1 little dent right on my driver’s door not happy as vehicle had only covered 5676 miles being a brand new vehicle .”
Thank you for your review. In future if you are struggling to find a space then if you press the intercom at any of the entry/exit barriers a member of the car parking team will be able to direct you to an area with a suitable space.

“The car park space was fine, however, I was prevented from exiting as the gate monitor claimed that I owed £355 despite having prepaid. It took an age to contact the attendant and when I did finally reach him he was ill mannered, though did resolve issue when I provided my registration number, without explanation or as much as a sorry and bon voyage. If you use the car park I recommend that you keep proof of payment handy, just in case.”

“Conveyor belt for suitcases was out of action when we arrived and que to check in was out the door. Change to departure gate twice and left 30 minutes late. Arrived back after 1am to wait 45minutes to disembark via ambulift and cases only just coming off. Troley's were £1 and the relase mechanism wasn't working. Gents toilets out of order and signage back to fastpark poor...apart from that airport was great!”
I’m sorry to hear that you didn’t have a pleasant experience. We strive to deliver a seamless journey for our customers and it’s disappointing to hear when this doesn’t happen.
“For the 3rd or 4th time I've returned after my flight and despite pre booking and pre paying your carpark has tried to charge me the roll up fee at the barrier! Always needs someone to come and intervene.”

“Very convenient and helpful staff on arrival/departure. However I encountered some substantial problems. First, my car was not in the space marked on the ticket I obtained when retrieving my key and I was very lucky to find it by accident. Secondly, my key swab was damaged by the attempt to force a label on to it. Most significantly however was the fact that the settings for my driver's seat and all mirrors had been altered, clearly by staff moving the car when parking. While it might be acceptable to change the distance from the seat to steering wheel to adapt to driver height, there is absolutley no need to move the rake and back position, nor to move the wing mirrors. On modern cars, these settings are complicated to reset and this is unacceptable interference with the vehicle.”

“Why is there no shuttle bus? I was not told that when I booked! If I had known that I would not have booked this parking. Also when we came out the machine said we owed £458! You don’t need this inconvenience after you have been on a 9hr flight! I have used this parking multiple times but will not use it again.”
