Marvelous experience with Smart Travel/Musandam Group

Our First day of holidays i.e. Dec 1st 2022 was extremely amazing. This was our first time to Oman Musandam and we loved every moment & cannot wait to go back again. Booking with Smart Travel was extremely professional, easy & went without a hitch. Staring from the booking process, the coordination, the bus arrangement, the timings, our marvelous travel via bus with very comfortable seating, Cruise travel from Oman border, the swimming arrangements, eye catching view, the stunning banana boat ride etc etc etc and what not.. The allocated team from Musandam group took care of each and every nece
ssity and made each one of us feel not to return back home ever and keep enjoying the tour over and over again.Thank you to the core Smart Travels and we would look forward to have bookings with u again.

Dear Valued Customer,

Thank you for taking the time to post a review.

As a company, we are refunding hundreds of customers per day who either meet the cancellation terms, or where the refund has been authorised by the car parking company.

Smart Travel Deals are a price comparison website and we do not own the car parking services. s such, we are bound by the terms and conditions set by the car parks.

Unfortunately, you have not provided us with any details of your booking to be able to advise further details in relation to your booking. Please send all the details of your experience and your booking reference to info@smarttraveldeals.co.uk

If you could confirm your booking reference number, we will be happy to check on the status of a response from the car park that you booked.

Kind Regards,
Smart Travel Deals Team

Went through personal belongings and used car

We returned today from holiday to wait an hour, in the cold, for our car, after being told, 5 minutes. When eventually arrived, the driver was rude and almost ran from the car? We felt that this was really strange… we looked around the car, no obvious damage so got in. The first strange thing we noticed was the strong smell of Body Odour, then that the passenger was fully reclined as if in a sleeping position. Finally and the worse thing was that the bags we had left in the car for the second leg of our journey had been riffled through, clothes pulled out, turned inside out, pockets pulled out and even sleeves, as if the clothes they had been worn!? Called and called the line, no answer no accountability. I am absolutely horrified and disgusted.

On top of all this, this company claims this is not the correct page for EZYBOOKING however interestingly, this is the company that pays for the Goggle adword campaign? Please, stay away from this utter scam.

Dear Valued Customer,

Thank you for your review and we are sorry to hear that you have encountered a stressful situation when using the service you booked through Smart Travel Deals.

Smart Travel Deals are a price comparison website and booking agent for car parking services at airports across the UK, we don’t own/operate the car parks or provide the services.

We do have a complaints process, which states that all complaints must be sent to us in writing, and our admin team would advise you of this if you had spoken to them. We do feel that you may have spoken to the car park directly, and as such your review should be posted on their page if they have failed to respond.

In addition, as the car parking contract is with the car parking company directly, and they are the ones that had possession of your vehicle, any liability in relation to delay/loss would lie with them directly.

We are still committed to solve the issue for your behalf so please send all of the details of your complaint and your booking reference to info@smarttraveldeals.co.uk to enable us to advise how to progress your complaint.

This review page is in relation to the booking services provided by Smart Travel Deals rather than the car parking service you used. We would appreciate if you would remove your review from our page and ensure that it is posted on the profile for the car parking company you used.

Kind Regards,
Smart Travel Deals Team

Very bad experience

Very bad experience, I'll never ever use them again. I don't know how they are operating. I always travel and book meet and greet service but with this company I waited 2 hours 45 minutes to collect my car after 7 hours flight please avoid don't waste your time and money.

Hi Fadel Ahmed,

We hope that you will give us the opportunity to deal with your complaint and as always, we are committed to resolving this for you in line with our customer first policy.

A lot more than helpful

(Updated Rating to 1 star due to Lies told see my other recent reviews) I feel I have to write another new review for this company.
Most of us do not appreciate how busy these companies are with the airlines not only canceling bookings due to Covid changes but also canceling flights because they are not full.
Smart Travel Deals have been there for me each time, My most recent experience was after i was unable to get a reply to one of my messages (only because they were snowed under with recent airline cancellations) I resent my message and sure enough it got picked up.
Not only did they come back to me via phone via my contact details within an hour of me re sending my message but assisted me so quickly and easily it was yet again a pleasure to deal with them.
I have further bookings with them for 2021, and they may need to be changed now, so i am confident they will deal with this as well as all others i have had to rearrange. So all I can say is Thank you Smart Travel Deals Keep up the great work you are doing and I wish you and all at your company every success.
Best regards

A good Meet and Greet company for Heathrow Airport…

Having travelled from Heathrow during lockdown for business reasons, it was great to see a friendly face at the airport meet and greet floor at the carpark. It was an exceptional experience to be greeted as a valued customer from the day before departure to the day after arrival (both leaving Britain and returning.)My car was returned on time and the tyres pumped up. The price was reasonable and I will use the company again .

Do not use

Booked parking with them for a holiday and paid extra in order to be able to cancel and receive a refund if needed. Cancelled back in September and requested the refund. By January still no refund. Emailed to ask when I would receive this and was told refunds would be received in 3-4 weeks. Still no refund so contacted again to say it has been 4 weeks since last correspondence and 5 MONTHS since cancellation. My emails are now being ignored. DO NOT use the company, even if you pay the extra in order to be able to receive refunds if you cancel you still don’t get your money back.

Avoid at all cost

Avoid ally all cost. My flight was cancelled due to lockdown restriction. They refused to give my refund and charged me £15 when by law they are not allowed to charge this fee as the lockdown was not our fault. They refused to read the link to the law I sent and emailed me back asking me to accept a voucher or be charged £15 to cancel.

I also have one email saying that due to the pandemic and overwhelming cancellations, their refund system had broke. Down and they would not refund until the pandemic ended!!!!

I have proof of all emails. I will now be chasing my refund via credit card dispute.

Avoid these crooks at all cost!!!

Dear Mahmudur Rahman,

We're sorry to hear that you do not like paying a cancellation fee but we do have a logical explanation for it! As we are price comparison website we don't own the car parking services. As you are not purchased for cancellation cover so the £15 administration charges will be deducted from the refund amount, it is clearly shown on our terms and condition page.

https://www.smarttraveldeals.co.uk/termsandconditions

Please don't hesitate to contact our Customer Service Team should you have any further questions or require any assistance with finding the best deal on your next airport parking booking!

Kind Regards,

Very good service

Very good service, this is the 3rd time we use this company. The staff are friendly, we got to the airport on time and on the way back we wait just 5 mins for the pick. Very happy with them. They even called us to confirm if our flight was cancelled (when it was). Very good service, we will book again.

Avoid this company

Avoid this company, Absolutely rubbish and fraud, My flight was cancelled due to new strain of COVID 19 and suddenly flights cancelled so I contact with them to cancel my parking booking but they refused to issue the refund without any reason.

Dear Mr Farrukh Imtiaz,

Thank you for taking the time to post a review.

Smart Travel Deals are a price comparison website and booking agent for car parking services at airports across the UK, and we do not own or operate the car parks or provide the parking service.

We can advise that, if we at Smart Travel Deals are contacted within the 48 hours before you are due to arrive at the car park to advise that the flight has been cancelled, we will do everything possible to secure a refund for you. It is stated in our terms and conditions that any cancellations must be sent to ourselves.

We are very sorry that, as far as we can tell from your review, you did not contact us to request a refund on this occasion, and therefore we were unable to process one for you.

Kind Regards,
Smart Travel Deals Team

Cheap, easy to use and efficient.

We found this car parking service very competitively priced, easy to book and easy to use. Staff were polite and efficient on outbound collection and return delivery although we did have to change the collection point and wait 10 minutes but that was because we turned up at the airport 20 minutes early (should have realized the M4 would be so much quieter so early in the morning).

I have booked carpark via this website…

I have booked carpark via this website several times and I highly recommend it to everyone. Definitely the cheapest prices for airport parking, super close(2-4 min by shuttle bus/minivan) and friendly personnel.

Thank you for your service, definitely will be using soon again ;)
