Toad Park and Ride Service

We have parked at Toad a number of times in the past but this time not as impressed. When we returned to collect car, we got dropped off in the car park by bus but not told what we had to do, in the past car is waiting ready for us. Went to office and was told where car was, but was difficult to get to with cases pulling over the loose stones. our friends who were driving commented how dirty pedals were too! Then struggled getting out as road was blocked and nobody to ask.

Toad Park and Ride Service

Very smooth and convenient service. An almost personalized service - leave your car at the reception and the staff park it for you - then just hop on the shuttle bus - drop off and pick up outside terminal door. No huge car parks to contend with, where the only spot is far from the nearest shuttle bus stop.

Hunters Park and Ride

It was my first time parking with Hunters and it certainly will not be the last! Process was swift and without complication, as I was actually not travelling till the following morning as I was meeting a friend at a hotel at the airport for the evening before our early flight as she had booked a hotel and parking trip, I decided to park off site as it would be much cheaper. Once I’d dropped my car off, I was very kindly taken to the hotel I was staying at by Hunters. upon my return Hunters actually picked me up quicker than my friend’s hotel pickup! And my car was waiting for me when we arrived, my friend had to trek down the hotel car park to find hers! All in all, great value for money, not too far away from the airport (make sure you read their directions and as my sat nav sent me on a 15minute detour on account of me not reading the notes) and a very friendly, welcoming service! Thankyou!

JetParks Ringway

Excellent parking system. Only let down by collection terminal 3, where this a good chance of being run over trying to determine the correct bus number as its not visible from bus stop. You have to be there to believe it. Four buses can arrive and you have to walk out on front of them only to find out its not the bus you want. They do have numbers on one side of the bus but the far side and again not visible from the bus stand. Health and safety? The parking system itself was excellent.
