BCP Manchester Airport Parking

Advantages: situation of car park adjacent to terminals
Disadvantages: think I have said enough in my review.

...We had arrived at the airport around 4.45 am the 13th july 2009 and to give credit the driver was waiting for us. We went over the usual details but before he left I made sure we went around the car so any damage could be noted on handover, being no damage to the car he handed me the card with the telephone number on and gave me instructions for our return. On returning we went to level 12 terminal 1 to meet the driver, there was also another family there. I noticed our car parked up and the other families car was parked next to ours in adjoining car bays but no driver around. About five minutes later the driver came through with our keys but said he had to go and get our tickets to get out the car park. This gave us time to get the luggage in the boot and get in the car. On switching on the ignition the petrol gauge needle barely...

APH Parking at Manchester

Advantages: Inexpensive, courteous, polite service
Disadvantages: Not so easy to find, waiting around for buses to pick you up can be a pain

...bus into the airport) to a meet and greet service, where they meet you at the airport, take your car and then return it to the airport to meet you on arrival (with the car valeted for that feel-good factor). I decided to do more research via their website, and I discovered that it allows you to book online if you so wish, although I decided to utilise their call centre via the National Rate (08705) number I'd been given by the HSBC Insurance people. However, before I did that, I did a quick 'online quote' to find out what parking was available and how much it would cost me. The results differed quite considerably: The APH carpark worked out at £9.75 per day. It mentioned that it was conveniently located for the M60 and M56, so I was sold on this particular option. I could've also had: * On-Airport parking at any of Manchester...

BCP Airparks Handforth Dean Car Park

Advantages: Secure Parking
Disadvantages: None that I could find

...Our recent holiday to Turkey was unavailable from our local East Midlands Airport, so we ended up once again flying from Manchester. We have flown from Manchester a few times now so this is no problem,however it is about an hour and a quarter drive from our home in Derbyshire. With taking the car we then need to find somewhere to park for the duration of the holiday so we tend to use the BCP Airport Parking, car park name of Airparks Handforth Dean. We booked our parking through the Travel Agent, however, I have in the past booked direct on-line, which saves about 50p. When booking through the travel agent you are handed a voucher which consists of a two page A4 document. This document contains your booking reference with your name and booking date on. Car park name, address and telephone number, the airport you are flying from...

Airparks Manchester - DO NOT USE

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Will crash your car and not accept liability

...DO NOT USE AIRPARKS MANCHESTER!!! My intention was to write a letter of complaint following the disastrous service we received when we arrived at Manchester Airport on the 9th August only to wait 30 minutes for the driver to come and collect the vehicle (which meant that we almost missed our flight) and to be told by your customer services operative that you were over booked and we just have to wait, however, my letter is now of a more serious nature which requires immediate attention. On returning from holiday on the 16th August at 1.00am, I called the number given to request that the driver brings the car to the terminal. My wife and I waited for about 25 minutes again after we had made the call. When the driver arrived with the car it appeared that the vehicle had been driven through a dirt track as there was mud and grit...

Review of Manchester Airport Parking

Car Parking for the Confused

Advantages: easier than a taxi/bus
Disadvantages: could work out expensive, handing over your car keys to strangers

...So as previously mentioned I recently flew to Scotland from Gatwick airport, living where I do I didn't want to be trying to get a train as getting to a train station is tricky and I don't want to be using taxis given how much it can cost to travel 80 miles even when one is prebooked. So knowing I was flying from Gatwick I used the Gatwick airport website to compare the prices of the nearby carparks, it came up with Park Plus as the cheapest by quite a considerable amount for the time period I was looking at. With a 4am drop off on Friday morning and 4pm latest pick up time on Sunday it cost me £18.60. Arriving at Gatwick airport you need to follow the directions to the South Terminal and the Long Term Parking, from here you enter the car parks, there are several but Park Plus was one of the first on the left and is clearly...

Bewleys Hotel Manchester Airport

Advantages: near to airport a comfortable hotel and affordable
Disadvantages: none

...hotel and offers double, twin and family size accommodation, they also have several wheelchair adapted rooms and a very rare touch today smoking and non smoking. I personally always like to have a non smoking room even though I do enjoy the odd puff because I have found that in other hotels the smoking floors are normally really smelly and fusty but it is still nice to be given the option. This hotel is geared up for travellers using the airport and offers parking facilities at reasonable rates. 35.00 Up to eight days. 45.00 Up to 15 days. These charges are for off site parking, you leave your car and they take it away to a parking pound and then return it to the hotel on the day of your return. ***Reception*** On arrival I checked in at reception, this was a highly glossed long desk and there were three receptionists behind...

Gatwick Airport Car Parking: Review of Ace Parking

Advantages: Chauffer is waiting for you felt 1st class
Disadvantages: None

...4 weeks ago we decided to book a break to Glasgow. I was recommended by a friend to look for a company called Ace Meet and Greet at Gatwick Airport, on finding a site that advertised Ace I entered my details but on the results I couldn't see Ace any where. I decided to find them directly There website is called www.ace-parking-gatwick.co.uk and on talking to a very friendly lady, she informed me that the large websites charge a big commission to them to give them bookings. They have decided to let the customers come direct and get a better deal. I personally paid £45 for 1 weeks parking. These brokers where charging £60. holidayextras have a guarantee they wont be beaten but very easily they where. An email was sent to my inbox which I printed out. the day came and off I went with my directions to Gatwick. I called ace meet...

Secure Parking at Leeds Bradford Airport

Advantages: Great Service, Good Value, Secure Parking
Disadvantages: you have to come home

...Ok so most of us tend to fly from the big Airports Like Manchester and the London Duo, but there are a few die hard folk like me who prefer the convenience of flying from their regional airports whenever possible, sadly some of those airports seem to be latching on to the ‘nice little earner’ of airport parking and raising their charges, not I have to say those nice folk from Sentinel Security Car Parking at Leeds Bradford Airport who have reasonable charges, and are well worth considering if you are flying out from Leeds Bradford Airport. ~~~0o0~~~ So the Advantages of their service are · Meet and Greet Service at the Terminal area · 24 hour secure parking · Car wash & wax (£5) or Full Valeting service (£45)(extra charges) · They are Only half a mile from the Airport · Staff are very friendly and look after you...

A Frustrating End To A Holiday Thanks To Ringway!

Advantages: Secure Parking, Courtesy Bus To/From Airport
Disadvantages: Things Don't Always Go Smoothly - See Below

...Whenever I go on Holiday I always like to think that the Holiday has started as soon as I turn the key in my front door, so it is always important that the journey to the Airport and onto my destination goes smoothly. I recently spent seven days in Tunisia with a friend. It was a last minute booking and one thing that we needed to arrange at short notice was how to get to the Airport. We were flying from Manchester Airport which may only be 45 miles from our hometown of Sheffield, but without a Car it is not an easy journey. There is a Train that runs between Sheffield and the Airport but since we had a 6am flight this was not an option as the Trains stop running before Midnight and do not start up again until 5am. We looked at the cost of a Taxi but £75 split between just two of us seemed a little steep, and so it seemed that...

Manchester Airport Marriott Hotel

Advantages: Just of the M56 - convenient
Disadvantages: Just of the M56 - noisy

...I stayed here for one night last week on a business trip to Manchester. I'd stayed there several times before, but they've recently renovated some of the public areas to make a new "Executive Lounge" with computers and things. Not quite sure what you need to get in there though... The hotel is just off Junction 6 (Hale) of the M56 motorway, just 2 miles from Manchester Airport. and a 10 minute drive up the M56 to Manchester itself. This makes it quite popular for conferences and seminars, and there were a few going on there last week, one was "Effective decision making for non-executive directors of mutuals", that could have been interesting There's a complimentary shuttle to Manchester Airport and they also offer "Park & Fly" packages (around £8 per day, I think) so you can leave your car there while you jet off... For food...
