FAQ's
What is a gate price?

If you have any problems or queries you can email us on help@holiday-parking-uk.com
Why should I book in advance?
Booking in advance not only saves you up to 40%, but it allows you to travel safe in the knowledge that you have a parking space reserved for you, even when demand is high. Also, you will get a better price than if you wait till nearer the time, in a similar way to booking a holiday with a travel agent. The nearer to the time you book it, the more expensive it will be.
How far in advance do I have to book?
You can book anytime, even for today if you wanted to. The booking process takes only a few minutes, and once you are given a booking reference number you can simply turn up.
Why is a week 8 days and 2 weeks 15 days with National Parking?
Airport parking companies charge from midnight on a 24 hour basis. The charge made by the car park is per whole or part day, regardless of your time of arrival.
I only have to park for 4 days, but I can only get a quote for 8 days. Why?
It is possible to book for 4 days, but the minimum charge from the car parking company is for 8 days. See the minimum stay/charge details on the airport car park breakdown pages.
Is there a further discount for booking more than one car at the same time?
No, because our prices are already at a discounted rate.
Where are the directions on your website?
Directions will be on the booking confirmation we send you and also on the breakdown for each separate car park.
Is your booking system secure?
Our booking system is completely secure as it is protected by 128 bit SSL encryption. For more information see here.
Does National Parking own the car parks?
Not exactly. We make it possible to pre book online at 100 different car parks at 24 different locations around the UK. We use our own pre built quote engine to select the best rates from some of the largest parking brokers in the UK, APC, BCP, FHR, Purple Parking and Park and Go. You can view all parking options and select the one that suits you best, based on price, location, availability and security.
How are the car parks secured?
- Close Circuit Television Cameras (CCTV)
- Power floodlighting
- High security, tamper proof fencing
- 24 hour manned security patrols
- Barrier/entrance controls
- AA/Police Gold Award
Due to our high level of security employed at our car parks, many have been awarded the AA/Police Gold Award for security, the highest accolade that can be awarded to a car park in the UK.
What is 'Meet & Greet?'
Meet and Greet is a service for those who are travelling in a hurry, or don't want to wait around for the shuttle buses. A representative from the company will meet you at the airport when you arrive, take your car and park it in their secure parking site. On your return they will meet you at the airport to drop your car off to you. When using this service it is a good idea to carry a mobile phone to allow the representatives to contact you.

Our first testimonial is from Lionel, a regular user of the National Parking service...
I just want to congratulate you on making available the National Parking internet site. I travel frequently for concerts and other singing engagements, leaving mainly from Heathrow, to which I drive from my home in Bournemouth. It's important to book a car parking space in advance and heavy discounts are often offered for pre-booking. I've also found that it is essential before every trip to check on the prices of these car parking facilities being offered by the various agents, as the prices tend to vary considerably.
Thanks to your web site I am able to compare these prices within a matter of seconds and complete my booking online in minutes.
I have recommended your website to many colleagues who are as delighted as I am.
I look forward to more initiatives from your company in the travel field.
Sincerely
Lionel Rosenfeld

This is actually taken at a wedding in Melbourne Australia where I'd flown to sing at the marriage of a client.
I fly around the world in my profession, and I had parked my car at ACP, booked through your web site, when I left for Australia. |
After winning a great digital camera through one of our customer newsletter competitions, Ian was kind enough to send us a photo...
 "A picture taken with my wife in the revolving resturant in the CN Tower in Canada taken with my new Sony Camera.
Yet again I booked my car parking with National Parking and as usual was completely delighted with my choice, I really don't believe the service could be improved upon."
Many thanks

Next up is Maggie who recently contacted us after being impressed with the site...
Eleven out of ten for the excellent service from the National Parking website last week. I couldn't believe how easy it was to book online and to email me back with minutes to confirm my parking space. Never before have I done this - I now class myself as Technologicaly minded! It was very straight forward and self-explanatory on how to use the site throughout the whole of the booking.
However, I was a little sceptical as to give out my credit card details but this SECURE site encouraged me to go ahead. I was impressed with the searching of different car parks and prices, some web sites only offer the most expensive prices but with APS a choice of cheaper parking was also available. I thought the planning of the web site was excellent too - giving directions and the availability to print out the directions on well layed out plans, even if one didnt possess a printer a prompted email to their address and in the post it would be.
I for one won't be making any more telephone calls (which are expensive out of town calls) for car parking - its National Parking for me.
I have already passed this site on to my friend who used it yesterday and booked within minutes. |
We then heard from Geraldine who had been experiencing some problems making a booking...
Jon Shanks was very helpful in assisting me to make my reservation for Feb. 28 at Gatwick. I had a problem with my computer and he talked me through. He was most helpful.
Many thanks
Geraldine Craig |
Graham from Rochdale was very happy with the service he received at Luton...

Mr G Ramsdale |
Richard from Broad...
Recent parking experience - 20th February/3rd March NXH13
Just a line to say how much my wife and I appreciated the extreme courtesy and helpfulness of members of staff, especially the two minibus drivers at arrival and departure.
Good service!
Richard Broad |
David from Chessington had problems starting his vehicle after a breakdown...
David Smith
Chessington
Thank you so much for the jump start on Thursday.
Having enjoyed three nights at Eurodisney you can imagine the potential stress that would have otherwise arisen had I had to call out a breakdown service to our flat battery car, two hungry children and an unforegiving wife.
Instead, your service team at the gate turned the potential crisis into no problem, driving me back to the car and using their charged battery to re-start the car in a jiffy
Thank you so much
David |
Shirley and Simon from Nottingham were very pleased with the service provided...
Shirley Carter
Nottingham
Felt completely secure in booking with APS & everything went according to plan. No messing about, taken to airport & back to National Parking within minutes of arriving. Well done.
Regards
Shirley & Simon

Mr S. Hawker was very happy with the service at Silver Lady car park...
Stuart Hawker
I thought it was appropriate to write and say how impressed I was with the service you provided through the meet at departures and return of my vehicle at arrivals after our holiday, this service was both very efficient and the staff meeting us at both ends of the journey were very helpful and polite.
Thank you and I will certainly use this service again and inform my friends of your company...
Regards
S. Hawker

The Lowest Prices on Airport Parking* or Your Money Back!
We are committed to finding you the best deals on airport parking and are so confident that you won't find a better price for the same car park that we'll refund the difference if you find it cheaper elsewhere.
We are not tied to any one company and we compare prices across five of the biggest UK parking brokers using our custom built quote engine to offer the largest variety of parking options anywhere in the UK.
This means that you are given a wide range of options for both on and off airport parking at 22 airports across the country. Our comparison system enables you to see, at a glance, the prices offered at each car park for the duration you wish to park, allowing you to choose the car park that best suits your budget and requirements.
You won't find a better deal anywhere else. Click here to get an instant quote!
* Lowest price guarantee applies only to the car parks at which we offer airport parking pre-booking. Please see our Car Parks page for the complete list of airport car parks covered by this guarantee. The guarantee also only covers full price parking options, therefore special offers from alternative providers are not covered.
Lowest Price Guarantee Terms and Conditions
The National Parking lowest price guarantee applies only to car parks which are listed on this site at the time of booking and only to pricing on the day of booking.
If a cheaper price has been found, subject to these Terms and Conditions, National Parking will refund the difference between the two prices.
In the event of a claim:
- All claims must be made after booking and payment have gone through but before the first date of the booking.
- The customer must provide proof of purchase.
- The customer must provide evidence that the price charged by National Parking through its providers was more than that charged by another UK airport parking website:
- on the same day;
- for the same car park;
- at the same airport;
- for a booking beginning on the same day as the booking made through National Parking
- and for the same duration of time.
The easiest way to do this is to take a 'screen grab' of the website in question (or save the html file and sent it via an email), so that we can verify the website and the price.
(As prices vary on a daily basis, simply stating the website address is unfortunately insufficient, as it is close to impossible to accurately verify).
- The customer must contact National Parking direct via email at booking@holiday-parking-uk.com to submit the above listed information.
- The decision of whether or not to honour a claim is at the sole discretion of National Parking, in accordance with the Lowest Price Guarantee Terms and Conditions.
