Long Stay North Parking reviews page 25

On the return transfer (early morning) the bus driver seemed keen to throw everyone off the bus as soon as possible! Not exactly the model of customer care. Also, with a single access road, which was being dug up, driving to/from this car park took longer than anticipated. Perhaps clearer directions to the car park could be provided, including alternative routes, rather than the simple "follow the signs" as at present. Overall though we would use this service again when travelling from Gatwick.

Car Parking was very simple. I dropped my passengers off first and returned before they had started booking in. Return flight was equally good and I returned to the terminal just as they were coming out. Very good service at a reasonable price. Thankyou.

Despite paying in advance the ticket was refused at the exit gates and I had to get it validated at the office (by a man who was half asleep, to be fair it was 0230 in the morning).

Nothing special about this experience. Would have been quicker off airport with coach transfer from Copthorne. Not good value for money taxi competitive for this length of stay -8 days.

It was not busy but there was along delay in reception at about 1p.m. staff seemed very slow to process me, I had pre-paid so I just wanted my exit ticket.(perhaps it was just the system) It is a bit frustrating to be held up for 10 minutes uneccessarily

When we arrived at the car park we were told to park in zone x, but after going around for some time it was apparent there were no spaces. We then exited the zone & was directed by a member of staff to zone z, but had to move the cones to gain access.

No problems here at all. Cheapest deal I could find, 5 minute wait for a bus, 10 minute journey and all very simple. Bit of a crowd on the way back, with everyone waiting for buses for different car parks on the way back - some clearer signposting could have helped, but no real issues.

I was looking for your NCP Car Park at the roundabout, made 2 excursions looking for sign at North Terminal and short term parking. Your instruction should have directed ne to follow sign for Long Term Parkimg. I eventually, after 10 mins delay, circulaing at North Terminal found your sign ! mile away at your Car Park.

On our return there was not enough room on the bus for all the luggage and people tend to stand by the doors so not allowing people to get on. I had to ask people to get out of the way to allow me to put my case in one of the empty holders.

The web site was very easy to use..great value for money parking..good transfers from car park to airport..maybe a bit more lighting in the car parks for when you are reurning late at night..especially for women travelling on their own..

Found entering the carpark on our departure not a problem at all and finding the car park was easy. (Normally park at Courtlands). However we found that returning to our car and existing the car park was not so easy. Was this due to the works being carried out??

Easy to find, quick to park and I only waited a few minutes for the transfer bus out and back. From the car to the airport and back took no more than 10 minutes each way. Minor irritation was having to get out of my car and manually check out as the automated system was not workin. I will definitely use this every time in the future.

Had to wait for 20 minutes for coach. Then so busy there was nowhere for suitcase. My case ended up on the floor with two huge cases on top of my small one. It got squashed out of shape. Had to get in and out of coach so people with skis etc could exit before us; several times. Didnt feel there was any advantage in parking on airport, as the transfer was so slow and poor. Would have been better to spend less and have used my usual off airport parking. I have already booked with NCP flightpath for travel on the 17th April, ref JF8MK and I would request a discount for this next booking as I was so unimpressed with last saturdays service. The coach driver made no effort to help with the suitcase overload. Staff at carpark and on coach on the 2nd March were very attentive for our departure. So it can be done!

Really easy to find car park. Transfer coach to and from terminal frequent and swift. Number plate recognition not a problem on my visit. Exit from car park hassle free. Recommended!

Liked the ability to pre-book and (unlike Heathrow) use the ticket to exit without having to visit reception first. However, I did not see the process explained on the instructions given when booking and nearly did the wrong thing on entry (again because it is different to Heathrow).

Very easy to book, park and exit the parking. My only negative comment is that the traffic signs do not specify in advance to flightpath parking only long term parking. Apart from this, no problem and good value for money as well as easy transfer arrangements.

I would recommend this car park, vehicle number registration recognition allowed me in without a problem and parking areas were clearly signposted. When leaving the airport terminal on your way home turn left as the pick up points are at the far end of the road.

This is the first time I've used this particular car park, but would certainly do so again. We parked right by the first bus stop and a bus arrived within 3 mins. Five mins later we were at the terminal, on the level we needed to be. It is excellent value, especially if you use the Advance Purchase offer. If you book through APH on the simplyparking website, the charge for credit card is only a modest 99p and you can cancel regualr bookings up to 24 hours ahead without penalty - not so with some of the others (check the Simplyparking website for more details). The only negative was that the staff in the office on our return were more concerned with their own conversation than lookign after me - not even a thank you!

Arrived early in morning and waited 20 mins for transfer bus. Uncoordinated pick ups meant we were unable to board first two buses that arrived because they were already full! Also pre-paid ticket system on entry did not work. Had to visit customer service desk on exit.

Flightpath North is some distance away from the terminal so you need to allow sufficient time for the transfer. On return the pick up bus stop is not well signposted from outside the terminal and cannot easily be spotted in the dark with a number of lights out (as it was when we arrived).
