The customer service was great! The car park is a bit isolated and hard to find, but the buses run promptly.

Adds about 15 mins to your trip to the airport but really efficient. You just roll up in your car, book in, get on the bus to the airport. Buses run every 15 mins. Really efficient on return, your keys and car are ready immediately

This was the first time we had used Purple Parking. It was very straight forward to park the car with a smooth transition to the airport. The same applied on the return journey. However we found the actual booking web site very confusing . lots of promises of a 15% discount which we were not sure whether we received it or not. That was very disappointing and very off putting. You should put the price for the journey up front so that the customer knows how much it is going to cost.

Really good and helpful experience at reception and our car was ready on our return. Only one small gripe, when we were picked up from Gatwick the bus driver was very miserable. Fair enough if he didn't want to smile or say hello but he pulled away before a couple of us had put our cases on the racks and being 20kg it was dangerous trying to get them on. The lower racks were full so we were in the process of lifting them when he was driving away. This was on the 12th of April about 6.45 am.

Easy to park up and receive instructions. Efficient and friendly. Easy return journey to Gatwick and back. A bit of a walk to the terminal from drop off, but not too bad.

Easy to find. Efficient transfers. Good value compared to others. However do wish they wouldn't change all seat positions, put on air condition etc just to move car short decision.

For the sake of saving a couple of pounds I would not choose purple parking in the future. The key handover desk had long delays and the shuttles were slow and over crowded. Purple parking themselves say to allow 3/4 of an hour for drop off so for me I'll be paying the extra for the standard long stay car parks or meet and greet services

Questions

Can i park a medium wheel based van (VW Crafter) 5.9 long x 1.9 wide and 2.7 highThanksUnfortunately they would not be able to accept this vehicle. The height restriction at the car park is 2.1m
If my flight is delyed do i get charged extraNot unless it goes into a new day
If I return earlier than I expected do I get a refund and and If I arrive early hours of the morning are staff always aroundGood Afternoon Thank you for you enquiry, The car park is open 24hrs a day so to arrive early will be fine, I'm afraid the car parks don't refund for an unused parking so if you come back early the price will still be the same.
If I return earlier than I expected do I get a refund and and If I arrive early hours of the morning are staff always aroundThe car park is manned 24 hours, so not a problem for early hours arrival. No refund is available for unused part stays.
