Arrival and departure with car reg recognition went smoothley but i would not recommend car park 2 at Birmingham airport at the moment....there are works ongoing at the airport with many pavements blocked off and unclear signage. What was supposed to be a 5 minute walk from terminal was a 20 minute stumble around in the dark with heavy suitcases unable to find pedestrian entrance so we had to use vehicle access ...only safe because it was 1am! Not ideal.

Fantastic no problems at all finding a space so easy. The only negative was the spaces are very narrow for bigger cars.

Easy to use, loads of spaces, & minimal waiting time for the transfer. Better off using the postcode to the Premier Inn next door, it'll take you straight to the Airparks car park. Highly recommended.

Reception was definitely more efficient than when I visited there in Sept. ‘22 Transfer bus driver was very helpful en route to the airport, handled my luggage at the park and at drop off. Booked with you as your website was working and APH’s wasn’t!

As always easy parking at Birmingham airport FHR. Had a change of vehicle between booking and arriving which was easy to change. Only issue was that the ANPR didn't pick up on my number plate on leaving the carpark which was dealt with swiftly.

There were issues on leaving the car park. The barriers would not recognise my car and would not open. I pressed the help button only for the first operator to disconnect me. The second operator was very helpful and opened the barrier. I have used this car park several times without issu but sadly not on this occasion

Staff were a pleasure to deal with. We were the only passengers on the way back from the airport. A pleasurable experience. Only downside was on dropping the car off before our holiday we were directed to an area that was covered in brables.It was difficult to get the cases out of the boot.

Easy to book for car park 5 One issue on arrival and departure number plate recognition didn’t work. Both times had to ask for assistance, not a great thing at 4am going out waiting 5 minutes for a response. Same happened on way out luckily answered as everyone exiting seemed to have the same issue. Otherwise it’s fine but would use car park 1 in future

Easy to book and park. Wasn't sure where to put the ticket in the machine on exiting as the slot appeared to be a credit card slot especially as it was next to the card reader.

Very close to the terminal. Quick and easy drop-off and collection. Would be useful if they a few of their own baggage trolleys. We arrived at about 3am with 2 wheel-less large and heavy soft bags and had to wander around trying to find one in a nearby car park. Fortunately one of their staff went along with us to show us where they were located.
