Plane Parking Refundable

Almost a disaster. After eventually finding car park which was not on sat nav with postcode - the car park was closed. We drove around and finally found a sign saying to go to another site - which had a sign saying to go to multi story park. At this point we thought we would miss flight completely as we were driving around airport so long, getting more anxious as time passed. Not an ideal start to our holiday. On arrival at multi story the process was then actually very good but a nightmare beforehand

Very helpful staff, no waiting around for airport transfer bus, driver polite and cheery! We had to return home 3 days earlier and had emailed them about this. Bus was prompt at airport back to carpark, they had to move some cars to a smaller area as main one was now closed, no problem getting car. Would recommend Low Cost Parking.

Plane Parking Refundable

I booked Plane Parking as I have in the past, but couldn’t get access at the barrier. When I buzzed for assistance I was told that I had been booked into the Long Stay Car Park. I then had to reverse out and make my way there. The barrier would not work there either. This time when I asked for help, a ticket was sent to the machine which allowed me access. Apart from this, it was good value and in the present climate, only around 25% of the spaces were full.

Car Park well signposted and plenty spaces on arrival, bus collected us within 15 minutes. Ticket collected on entry and on departing the machine at the exit barrier asked us for £176. There’s no number plate recognition like at other car parks and this delayed our departure having to explain at the barrier that we had a reference number through FHR

I've used Low Cost before so expected a better service. We had a lengthy wait at the office after checking in before the bus took us to the airport. It was worse on return. We waited 18 minutes at the stop. We were quicker getting through passport control & bag collection combined!

Scotpark Super Saver

Booking was very easy and clear. The scotpark was easy to find. They never recognised our registration number on entry, so we mentioned it to the office who told us we needed to notify them in return so we wouldn’t be charged, which we did and they took care of it very efficiently. Pick up took about 15 minutes which was ok , a bit slower than the other around but no hassle. The transfer to airport is literally 3 minutes , and then a couple of minutes walk. Would use it again as the price was very good, it’s not luxury but it was fine, and our car was very close to drop of point. All in all I would recommend.

On return, your vehicle is bought back to the terminal, so you can just drive straight home.

How far in advance do I need to booking parking at Edinburgh? 

You can book Edinburgh Airport Parking with us right up to your day of travel.

We'd always recommend booking as early as possible however to get the best prices and guarantee your space at your chosen car park, as some car parks can close out to arrivals days before in peak holiday periods.  

Prices are set by the car parks and change with the availability so as the car parks fill up the prices increase.

What is the Park Mark® Award? 

Holders of the Park Mark® award have been risk assessed by a crime prevention officer from the local police. The Safer Parking Scheme is an initiative of the Association of Chief Police Officers and is managed by the British Parking Association.

Do I need to print my parking confirmation voucher?

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.

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?
