Was not what we payed for

Was not what we payed for , the address and postcode didn’t match so had we gone by the address we’d have been 13mims away luckily when we rang the guy said follow the post code so took us to a muddy yard cars parked all directions, we were told to leave the key in the car the guy put the window down it was raining , we were told the transfer was stuck at the airport so we’d have to pay £7 each way for a taxi although ee we’re sharing with another guy While we were waiting his transport arrived and was going to put our cases in the guy started shouting at him saying no he wasn’t going to cancel the taxi even though we were late for our flight due to road wrks on the way down the country , eventually got the airport in a private taxi the taxi driver had no change we both had large notes , got to our bag drop check in had closed luckily they opened it and rushed us though ! On our return called to arrange pick up the guy put the phone down before telling us where to meet then wouldn’t return my call , had to pay again to get out the airport pick up £6 my card wouldn’t work had to try it twice payed second time but the driver also payed, we got our car and it was fine having to try and get your cases in the car in the mud is annoying , the people who were in the transfer were told they’re car wouldn’t start , we’d also seen someone’s lights left on when we were waiting to go I’ll not use them again not the price we expected with the extras added that we’d not been told about

Like most of you I was worried how legitimate this service was given the price. No need. Service was efficient and as described. Parking is gated multi-storey carpark in central Luton, <10 mins from terminal. Call mobile provided before you arrive (departures) or after you've landed (arrivals) and minibus will pick up you. Price very competitive. Will definitely use again.

Left Stranded!

The only phone number given to call them before your arrival was switched off which lead to us being stranded on some industrial site, with nowhere safe to park the car at 4am. Not sure how they operate but there was no premises or car park baring their name at the given address. Spend a bit more for one of the established companies is my advice.

Excellent service from start to finish

Excellent service from start to finish, Marcus was a pleasure to deal with on the phone and in person, very polite when he collected the car and when he returned it. I have used others before and waited an age for the car on return, not this time, got our bags, rang Marcus, got out and within 5 mins he was there ( might have been quicker but we went to the wrong car park 🤦) but even then it wasn’t a problem for him. Great experience from start to finish and will definitely be using next time we take the car to the airport.

BRILLIANT EXPERIENCE

I have just had the great pleasure of using CarMinder for my airport parking.

Marcus could not have been anymore helpful and kind.

I had a sick daughter who ended up not being able to walk just before the holiday I had booked.

Marcus went above and beyond to get us sorted out and to the airport on time.

Thank you so much once again Marcus.

I Will keep in touch for any future airport parking.

This was my kind of service

This was my kind of service. No nonsense. Prompt. On time. Helpful and clear with instructions on where i needed to be and timings etc. We were a 3 car convoy with a lot of luggage and there were 11 of us but this did not matter. They mobilise quick and efficiently and i found Marcus to be very polite and honest. He asked me about a steering lock issue that he had but it was an ongoing issue of mine. He could of said nothing but he mentioned it first. To summarise a 5 star company that suited our needs. No messing about. Will use next year for sure.

Do not trust

I booked this company last year with my friends and it was ok so I booked it again but as I was half an hour away from the airport we rang him and he didn’t pick up and we kept ringing but no answer so we had to park somewhere else in the early hours of the morning and after we left another review explaining what happened we came back to the car being scratched and the tyres slashed. Coincidence, I think not.

What a vindictive person

What a vindictive person. Good money was paid for a terrible service. Car was damaged and he took no responsibility. Stay well away.

The car in question was not in our care but parked on a public street where there has been damage on that road. We are not responsible or hold any account or liability for this. The question still not answered is who vandalised our yard in the morning in question of your return `!!??

Worse service! Paid for service we didn’t not receive!

We we’re booked in fo Marcus to take us to terminal one for 5 am, we had called him as planned half hour before he was scheduled to pick us up , we had no answer from Marcus we had called numerously , sent messages and left voice mails as we were needing to be on our flight for 7 am. We had arrived at the parking spot with no one to be seen and no answer from Marcus , now starting to panic and our anxiety had kicked in as we had no way of getting to Manchester airport ; we had to call a taxi however they were not available straight away . Luckily we got hold of an Uber. I rang Marcus again the next morning after he failed to back to me or my friends as we had left many missed calls, he was unbothered and unapologetic, and I have demanded a refund. This poor service has left us stressed and anxious as we were going to miss our flight,I would not recommend Thai service at all.

Our apologies and refund have been given as the night staff missed the Park and Ride. You then decided to park your car on the street not in a designated parking space. There has been smashed windows and damage on the industrial estate where you left your car parked in the street. On the morning of your return our compound was vandalised and defaced with Car Minders' banners ripped off our metal fence and the 1 left in half. We are not sure if connected but will be checking cameras to see if we can see the culprit/s.
