Our customers' thoughts

  • Long Stay SuperSaver

    The whole process was efortless. No waiting for buses they were one after the other even at 0400am in the morning and when the weather was -4 at Stansted this was most important. Excellent service, no complaints.

    Number plate recognition did not work properly but staff were at hand on our return so there was no hold-up

  • Long Stay

    Great site. I have used your site several times to purchase airport parking and always find it easy. This last time I had to change amend my car details so I called your contact centre where my call was answered in 20secs. The rep who answered was actually able to help me My request was completed immediately and I received an email confirming my change just as I hung up with your call centre rep! A refreshing experience to be treated as a valued customer. I will purchase again from Holiday Extras!
