Prepaid booking did not guarantee a space and refunds were refused.
“we got there and was told there were no parking spaces left”
Reviews often highlight standout staff and quick refunds handled by chat teams. Many customers say prebookings still left them without a space, or that booking errors led to large extra charges. Several accounts mention vehicle damage or break-ins, along with safety systems that did not work. High prices and steep fees for arriving slightly early or overstaying by a small amount also draw frequent complaints.
Examples from available reviews (May 2022 – Mar 2026).
Prepaid booking did not guarantee a space and refunds were refused.
“we got there and was told there were no parking spaces left”
Car broken into, emergency help system failed, and CCTV unavailable.
“Emergency Help system not working”
Helpful chat team corrected a booking error and issued a fast refund.

Shuttle driver provided courteous, helpful transport to and from appointment.
“The driver Sandip was so courteous and kind.”
Experiences with staff split sharply. Many reviewers describe customer service as rude or unhelpful, with refusals to help on refunds or appeals. Others name specific employees and chat teams who responded quickly, paid attention, and issued fast refunds.
Pricing drives most value complaints. Many customers say they paid far more than nearby options and were hit with large charges for arriving a little early or overstaying by a short time. Reviewers also often say discounts and codes were applied inconsistently or removed without warning.
Booking and entry cause repeated issues. Multiple reviews say prepaid bookings did not secure a space, booking summaries showed the wrong duration, and faulty gate sensors led to long delays. Automated support and the advertised appeals process were often missing or unhelpful.
Safety and upkeep problems come up repeatedly. Reported incidents include break-ins with no CCTV footage, emergency help systems that did not work, snapped handbrake cables, and damage to vehicles on ramps. Other comments mention broken lifts, dirty toilets, and weak overall maintenance.
Reviews often point to unclear communication on policies and day-to-day operations. Customers say discount schemes and closing times changed or were not explained, leading to surprise charges or vehicles left locked in. A small number of reviewers credit staff on site for clearly explaining discount rules.
Complaints about booking failures, unexpected charges, and safety gaps dominate. Positive feedback centres on individual staff members and fast online refunds. Overall sentiment is shaped by frequent operational problems alongside occasional strong service encounters.
