AVOID!! AVOID!! AVOID!! We booked 8 days parking at Gatwick Airport from 24th to 31st May 2026 with iPark Gatwick Meet and Greet through compareparkingprices.co.uk costing £109 and no airport fees. We phoned iPark at 11pm on 31st May just as we was picking up our luggage. Not a problem even though it did take a couple of calls for them to answer but we figured that they’ll be busy as a plane has just landed and perhaps we weren’t the only one using them. We were told to go Orange car park Level 4. Then it went downhill. We turned up with another couple and there was a couple already there. We waited, called them again, told car is on it’s way, another family turn up. Repeat, repeat, repeat. In all there were 8 families, some with young children, couples, people waiting for their cars. All had used iPark. One woman actually phoned the police who said they couldn’t do anything, but that was the third call that day about them. One family was told to pick up their car on level 2, so some of us bundled in to the lift with them to ask the driver what was going on. The driver told us to contact the office and then ran away. So we called the office to be told that our car is next. We wait and we wait and we wait. One family found their car in the same space as they’d parked it!! Another was told that their keys had been lost!! Someone else calls the office and their car will be on it’s way soon and that the cars are about 10-12 minutes away. We got a phone call just before 2am to say that our car was on Level 3 with the driver. Car is there, no driver and the keys are left on the driver’s front wheel. Next to it was a Blue Mercedes that we had seen going around the car park an hour and a half earlier, with the owner desperately looking for his key. How much was that going to cost in parking? In the end it took over 100 phone calls and 3 hours to get our car back and cost £8 to exit the car park but we feel we got off lightly compared to other peoples stories that we’ve heard about. They were also mentioned on BBC’s The One Show (June 3rd) last week with other shoddy parking companies.

Compareparkingprices.co.uk emailed us to ask for a review. We wrote a shortened version of the above with a 1 star review (can’t leave zero) and haven’t seen it since. I’m guessing they don’t want other people to see poor reviews.

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!
I used this company to book my car when I went on holiday. Through this company I booked my car with Express Parking Heathrow Limited. Within three weeks of being home I have received a parking ticket for £100!
Instead of my car being parked safely and legally it was parked illegally overnight. I have asked them to help me get the company to pay the fine but they have not helped in any way. I would strongly advise anyone against booking with either company

Very disappointed with the service. My car was returned with a scratch on the rear that was not there before. It also appeared that my vehicle had been used, as the air conditioning settings, radio stations, seat position, and mirrors had all been changed. I expected my car to be treated with care and respect, but this was not my experience. Very poor service and I would not recommend this company.

Very long wait both ways. I noticed my dash camera had been unplugged on our drive home and kept forgetting to reconnect it until about a month later. When I did reconnect it, it told me there was no SD card. Messaged the company with no reply.
I truly wonder what they did with my car to justify disabling my dash cam and removing the memory card.

I will be filing a police report and will update this review as things move forward.

DO NOT TRUST.

I booked with CPP/ipark
Went to drop my car off on the day of my flight. The attendant/driver was not in uniform and did not carry out the right checks.
Upon return we were greeted by a dozen other people waiting for their cars/keys. Some peoples car was parked in short stay where they left it and others cars were missing altogether.

I waited 3.5hours with my 2 babies for my car keys. The car was left parked in short stay and had a ticket of £560.00. The nonces on the phone were telling everyone it will be 10/20mins. Telling some people their keys are lost.

There were so many people coming onto car park 6 level 5 to drop off their keys and we told them what happened so they are aware. Do not use as they are scammers

CPP misdescribed the parking vendor on their site making it very difficult to find their terrible reviews.As this was discovered within 48 hours on travelling they would not refund the cost despite cancellation

Avoid!
Wanted to make a cancellation to a booking. Even though they offered cancellation cover, I was referred back to the t&c’s that I need to advise at least 48hrs before. Which in my case was not possible as the booking was for next day. Also the 3rd party operator was only visible after booking, annoying that you can’t see additional extras for entry and exit to drop the car! RIP off merchants, no sense of common sense or goodwill . Will be chasing for money back via my credit card company!

Using the site was OK - need to hunt around for the best discount code. Zero flexibility for making a mistake, charge £15 admin (for doing pretty much nothing) and hold on to your money for at least 14 days.
I had to cancel within 90mins of making a booking and then pay them £15 for the privilege. Yes I know it is in their Ts & Cs, but holding on to the money is the one that gets me the most - that just sucks.
Same prices available elsewhere so on this experience I won't be using them again

Do not use as total rip off. We were given completely wrong info. on where to drop the car off which resulted in additional £15 parking fee. Had to wait 55 mins to collect car and was returned dirty and with notably increased mileage. Complained but didn't even both to reply. Would never use again.

STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY! I made a booking for parking with this company. I paid for cancellation cover. When I decided to cancel I received an email back stating that I would receive a refund within 14 working days. More than a month later and I still haven’t received a refund. I’ve made numerous attempts to try and contact them by email. They even put the phone down on me when I explained that I hadn’t received any response via email. I have all of this documented and I have reported them to trading standards and my bank who is currently investigating.

Mis leading advertising, services aren't as described, said it was Valet parking then why we booked it turned out it wasn't valet parking at all. They then failed to issue a refund even though we cancelled and complained so they effectively stole our money. Do not use this company!

Absolutely excellent. Great price, great communications and directions and easy collection on the way back

The new drop off point is easier to access than the previous one. Prompt and efficient service

Booked this at very short notice. No problems. Car was waiting on our arrival. Price was a third cheaper than onsite

Sure Parking, through Compare Parking Prices gave excellent service and value at Gatwick, with prompt delivery and fees included. Will re-book. (Bkg ref CPP120066).

Easy to arrange, well priced and a great service, would definitley use again.

I searched for good parking at Stansted Airport. This comparison site seemed good and I chose Park Pilot Ltd as the providor. I also had cancellation cover. In the advert on Compareparking there was no mention of an additional £ 10.00 each way 'airport charges'. I did not discover this until the booking confirmation arrived. I cancelled, both by email and telephone, imeadiately. After a few days I received an email asking if they could transfer my booking to a later date. I refused as the final charges were still much higher than I could achieve elsewhere. Then I received an email stating I would have a refund within 14 working days. 24 days later I received an email saying my refund had been processed and would be in my bank within 1-5 days. When it arrived they had deducted £ 15.00 as a 'booking fee'. This is actually a fine as the booking fee stated on the invoice was £ 1.48. They were completely unmoved by the cancellation cover (which they state only 'allows me to cancel upto 48 hours before travel') or my complaint. I have researched the company they booked me with (Park Pilot Ltd) and they are a new company who have submitted no financial records. I have also found the records of Compare Parking Prices Ltd who have assets of £ 11.00.
I would strongly urge anyone using either Compareparkingprices.co.uk or Park Pilot Ltd to think very carefully before trusting them with your booking or your car.

Never using this company again. My car was returned to be scratched. I had to wait 1hr for the car to be returned to me after follwing the instructions to call once I had my suitcases. On returning my car, the driver just walked off after handing me the keys and the parking ticket. There were other Compare customers who arrived after me at the meet and greet point who were complaining of the long wait. In summary, a cowboy run company that hides behind an email address. No way to call them.

I will absolutely recommend friends and family to use this service. Excellent

I booked a meet and greet through this website and turned up at the airport and the retailer said they had no details of our booking. We then had to find last minute parking through purple parking. DO NOT USE THIS WEBSITE. We’ve issued a chargeback through our bank.
