Very Disappointing Service – Serious Concerns About Vehicle Handling

Our experience with this company was extremely disappointing, and I would strongly advise others to think carefully before using their service.

We booked parking for two cars through CompareParkingDeals, with the service provided by Park247. According to the booking instructions, we were required to call approximately 30 minutes before our arrival and again before our departure.

When we returned, we called as instructed and were told that our cars would be brought to us in approximately 45 minutes. After waiting for around 30 minutes, we received a call telling us that one of the cars was already in the car park and giving us its location.

When we located the car, we were extremely surprised to find that the keys had simply been left on the tyre. This is a very concerning way to handle a customer's vehicle.

Even more concerning, after checking the parking information, we discovered that the car had actually been left in the car park at 11:14 am — almost three hours before we had even contacted them as instructed. Because of this, we were forced to pay £21.50 in parking charges.

This raises some very serious questions:

1. Why was our car left in the car park almost three hours before we were instructed to contact the company?
2. Why were we not informed that the car had already been returned to the car park?
3. If the car was already there, why were we made to wait approximately 30 minutes before being told its location?
4. Why were the keys left on the tyre rather than being handed to us securely?

The situation with the second car was even more concerning. Although this car was returned at the time we had been told, we noticed that coins/cash were missing from inside the vehicle. More worryingly, the car appeared to have been searched through, which caused serious concern about how the vehicle had been handled while it was in their possession.

When customers hand over their vehicles, they expect them to be treated responsibly, securely and with respect. Our experience fell well below that expectation.

The combination of the unnecessary £21.50 parking charge, poor communication, lack of transparency, the way the keys were left, and missing cash from the second vehicle has completely undermined our confidence in this service.

We expect a proper explanation from the company regarding what happened to both vehicles and why they were handled in this manner.

Based on our experience, we would not use this service again and would strongly recommend that other customers exercise caution before booking with CompareParkingDeals/Park247.

When we found the car, the keys had simply been left on the tyre.
What is particularly concerning is that, after checking the parking information, we discovered that the car had actually been left in the car park at 11:14 am — almost three hours before we contacted them. As a result, we had to pay £21.50 in parking charges.
This raises two very important questions:
1. Why was the car left in the car park almost three hours before we were asked to contact them?
2. If the car was already there, why were we made to wait for 30 minutes before being told where it was?

Overall, this was a very disappointing experience. The unnecessary parking charge, the lack of communication, and the missing items from the vehicle have seriously undermined our confidence in the service.
I would strongly recommend that the company reviews its vehicle-handling procedures and provides a proper explanation for what happened.

I TRIED TO BOOK PARKING BUT THE CARD WAS DECLINED EVEN AFTER TH BANK HAD APPROVED THE PAYMENT. YOU NEVER KNOW WHERE THE PROBLEM IS BUT IT IS FRUSTRATING TO HAVE TO IT AGAIN WITH ANOTHER CARD.

I called them after landing my flight and then they said it will be there 30 mins as written in documents. But after 30mins I called them it would say 45mins and then after 10mins again then call and say My car is in bay and when I look at this car it was already 11am from car park. And also key was also on car wheel so that is also no accepted. Total I paid for 29:30 pounds paid plus car park which was around £73 pounds. This is completed no acceptable. I would say don’t use this Car park ever

These people providing deals from third party parking company and third party service provided Park247 are real thieves and blackmailer

They took so much change from my front compartment - they left car in the parking 2 hours before and left the keys in tyre and when we called they advised it will take 45 minutes and after 45 minutes they says we did left your card in short stay 2 hours before so we have paid £28 to take out car - this website and third party all are not real human being and thieves DO NTO USE THIS WEBSITE AND PARK247

Quick and easy to use. Cheaper than other sites.

V confusing site. I ended up with off airport parking although I clearly order meet and greet. No phone number to discuss this. Cancelled by email. No reply. Booked elsewhere. V poor

Very poor waited over one hour to leave car at departure and 50 minutes for collect. Won’t use again.

If you're a fan of Ferris Bueller's Day Off then you'll love these guys. Nice Scratch on the door, 200 miles extra on the speedo and a Parking fine all whilst I was on Holiday. This rogue trader behaviour was supposed to be sorted years ago. Shame on you Gatwick, Compareparkingdeals and Trading Standards. Take my advice use official Airport parking - not these guys!

It was a simple process to book parking. The last time I tried it was much more complicated

Booked parking and found out it's not a approved parking and has bad reviews

Easy and efficient online booking.

All good so far 👌

Excellent. It’s quick and easy.

We have used Sure parking many times without problem but this time, there was 'no printing of instructions' indicated early enough!
I had finished writing it all down when on the next page there it was. If there had been a couple of words or a symbol it would have been simpler

Upon arrival the man at the gate was very helpful. However, there is an additional £20 to pay when you get there which isn’t very clear when you book the parking. The return email also says “call this number when you return and we will pick you up in 30 minutes”. I did that, then I got a call 2 minutes later saying to hurry up and was overall quite rude. One positive is that they turn your car on for you for your return, but I probably won’t use this car park again unfortunately

Simple and quick to book , I hope the actual experience is as good.

The booking form does NOT make it clear there is a £26 charge for bus transfer to the terminal.....OUTRAGEOUS mis-selling of this service with no immediate cancellation allowed.

Good prices, simple booking form, very efficient.
