"This time it was just about parking for a few days. The price was very competitive, the service is always professional. Due to a plane cancellation I arrived back at the car park 24 hours late. I knew it would be OK, I just informed the person in the pay booth and she gave me a receipt for the extra day so that I could claim the excess from the airline." / 10

Absolutely no problems at exit as the attendant found us on the computer, so all very straightforward despite my oversight. Number plate recognition worked on entry and whole process very easy, as well as cheaper than paying on the spot." / 10

Amazing that as soon as we aproache the entrance to the car park the camaras recognized our car with-out us having to in-put any info, and then the machine produce a ticket. Extremely eficient system where we did not need to contact anybody or ask for any help. And finally transport to/from the airport was there at all times! Many thanks, and keep the Good Service!" / 10

When we got there we were told to push the button and a bus was there in a few minutes. Also on way back i misheard the driver and got off at wrong stop. I pushed the button for help and they sent a van up to us to take us to the right stop and the driver even helped us with our cases. Great service thankyou very much" / 10
