Toad Park and Ride Service

Great price. Not far to drive although road works delays trip to airport by around 10 mins so leave a bit earlier. Staff really helpful and friendly.

Eazy Park Meet & Greet

Dropping off the car was a bit chaotic but that was due to the building works at the airport. I did not notice that you need to call the EPM&G 20 mins before arriving at the terminal. We had to drive round for a couple of minutes then go a call that the driver was waiting so we then went back. The set up at the airport is not ideal. On the return trip we had to wait 30 mins to get our car back. I must say that the chap that brought it back was very nice and polite. Car was still clean so not parked in a field and it was just 6 additional miles on the clock, so local to. I was put off with the hustle and bustle of Terminal 3 and there were a lot of others all getting dropped off and picked up. The building works did not help but the friendliness of the staff was good.

JetParks Car Park 3

Pros - Cheapest option - Frequent bus service at times we travelled (early evening) Cons - cheapest for a reason - car park busy and can be difficult to find a space - some way away from airport and ongoing roadworks between airport and car park caused us long delays in getting to parking (40mins) - parking on gravel so bit of a dust bowl

JetParks Car Park 3

Will not be going to this carpark again. Reasonably priced but it takes at least an hour from terminal 3 to get back to the car park as after waiting for the bus it goes to the other 2 terminals and gets stuck for a long time in the road works on route to the car park.very frustrating.

Toad Park and Ride Service

Great service as usual, use these people on a regular basis as they are very convenient. The only drawback being the roadworks at the entrance which has been going on for a while, just need to plan a little more time to accommodate the addition travel time to the airport. It does say on their web site which is a benefit

Multi-storey - Terminal 3

Location great and easy to find. Directions to Departures clear and convenient using the bridge straight into the airport. However return was a different story with poor signage from the inside of airport to then cross a road with barriers to no clearly marked entrance. Once inside the car park no clearly marked walkways and have to negotiate cars parked nose to tail in the middle meet and greet area, (not easy with suitcases), to find unmarked lifts. On third attempt found car, which had been parked in a clean condition, yet now looked like it had spent the last five days on a building site.

Toad Park and Ride Service

Waited an hour to be picked up at the airport. Bus was packed. Been using this car park for years but since it has been taken over the service has gone down hill. I expect a bit of dirt on the car mats but not dust all over the chairs.
