As we were overseas visitors and parking booked online, the formally known Pink Elephant Car park was of little help to us!!!! Infact, we almost thought we had wrong car park. Bus service to car park excellent.

The facilities were not that bad but when I arrived I had to get a general ticket out of machine. On leaving I had to contact parking staff as it looked like I would have to pay 33.00 GBP. On contacting staff whilst at the barrier this was resolved very quickly and efficiently on supplying my name & registration number.

This was a very conveniently placed car-park with short transfer time to Southampton Airport (<5 min) and with a frequent transfer bus service. My only suggestion for improvement is that when I went to leave the car park at the exit barrier, I inserted my ticket which was issued to me at the time of my arrival. I was then asked to pay a large sum of money in spite of having prepaid for my parking through gosimply.com. I pressed the button requesting assistance, pointed out that I had already prepaid for parking, I gave my name, car number, and reference number, and the barrier promptly opened allowing my exit. I felt that this process should have been automated. Based upon my experience, I would not hesitate to recommend this car park.

Directions for last few hundred yards need to be clearer. There is no right turn past the airport terminal building. You just keep on driving until you cannot go any further as the carpark entry barrier is there. Friendly and helpful attendant at airport drop off zone sent us in the correct direction.

Would use again - plenty of parking spaces and we didnt have to wait long for a bus. There was also plenty of seats available on the bus and lots of room to store our luggage.

On return, the driver and other regular passengers were unable to identify the correct drop off stop for the bus. The stops had a very small identification letter which is invisible from the bus and driver didn't know the correct letter for the stop - he dropped us at the wrong one! Suggest large letters on stops easily seen by passengers and drivers and introduce parking zones and space numbering to assist in tracing vehicles.
