Mid Stay 1

Overall experience was good, easy to find and plenty of spaces. I knew before I went that there was no bus service to the terminal and that it is a fairly short walk. I was lucky that the weather was o k, but I can imagine that it would be a very unpleasant experience if it had been icy or pouring with rain!

Short Stay 3

I really wanted to do a meet & greet arrangement but this was unavailable for whatever reason at the time I booked. I therefore had to muck about shuffling the car from the terminal to the car park because one of our party is wheelchair bound. Maybe the option to have phoned could have been flagged up? The car park itself was OK although more than a little cramped and certainly with the regard to the very front rank in Car Park S3 badly marked. It suggests that there is a turning right at the end but there isn't so necessitating a substantial reverse. Other that the payment process, car park entry & exit was very straightforward, thank you.

Long Stay 1

Booking was changed from long stay 1 to mid stay 3 as EMA closed long stay car parks till the beginning of April but I did not get the email. I phoned FHG and the young lady sent me a copy of the revised booking. I received another email a few days before leaving with instructions on how to get to long stay 1 and I have also received an email for feed back on my EMA long stay 1 . Apart from all emails stating long stay 1 when we arrived at mid stay 3 every thing went without any problems.

How will I know that my booking has been confirmed? 

We'll send you an email confirmation following your booking. This will confirm all the details of your booking, including a booking reference, so you can check that everything is ok.

If you didn't receive a booking confirmation email from us, please check your email provider spam/junk folder.

Do I need to print my parking confirmation voucher? 

It is important to have access to your Booking Confirmation, but you don’t have to print it. You must however ensure it is fully visible on your phone or device, so you can see all the information, directions and procedures you need to follow.

Can I get a VAT receipt for my parking booking?

We don't use the parking confirmation as a payment receipt, as they sometimes need to be handed over to the car park.

Why is a weeks’ parking calculated as 8 days? 

Most car parks charge per day or part thereof, i.e. they count the day you enter the car park and the day you leave. That means a 7 night trip is 8 calculated as days parking and a 14 night trip will be 15 days parking.

How early do I need to drop off my car to get to the Airport on time? 

This will depend on the car park you book, but we recommend that you arrive to drop the car off at least minutes 30 minutes prior to your earliest check-in/bag drop time. 

Can I turn up at any time for my meet and greet? 

The 'parking from' time on your confirmation is the time slot the car park has allocated you, so it’s important to let us know if you need to change the time, if its more than 24 hours before you are due to park. If it is less than 24 hours before your meet is due, you should call the chauffeurs using the number on your confirmation voucher.

How can I change my booking?
