I got scammed 60 quid for doing a late night airport pick up. I picked up at a few minutes to midnight. Apparently you get till midnight the next day to pay. So alongside everything else you have to remember to log on to a website and pay the stupid charge. Its bad enough paying £6.60 for a few minutes but you also have to remember to devote another 5 minutes late on that day to saving this company from paying maintanence money for a machine. So if I'd been a few minutes later, say 12.01am I would've had double the time to pay. I forgot to pay within the window. I explained to them that I was picking up relatives and didn't realise the time was a few minutes to midnight but still got charged 60 quid for being forgetful. Meanwhile APCOA, on the excuse that 'the machines didn't work' don't even have to pay for a roadside machine and guy to maintain it every so often. I feel scammed. please avoid their car parks if you can. Thankyou.

Manchester Airport APCOA customer service

Used APCOA through Manchester Airport for the first time. Easy to set up an account and easy to make payment. Obviously, lots of views on actual amount charged to park or drop-off here, or any other UK airport. However, having set up the process I wanted to check everything was okay being the first payment to be made. Ellie provided excellent prompt service, explaining the procedure. Convenient service to drop-off, albeit that with the taxi's the speed in which to can reach a space and exit determines your time, not the minutes it actually takes to 'drop-off' ! My review is based upon the customer service by Ellie in answering the question I had.

Outdated car park

Outdated car park, very restricted height, they do warn you. Not easy to manoeuvre around. Not really suitable for the modern size of cars now.
Paid online before I went and then found out I could get 50% discount from the travelodge we stayed overnight at.
Would avoid if I went to Chester again.

Spaces were an acceptable pitch

Spaces were an acceptable pitch, signage of the levels wasn’t good, also the exit wasn’t signed so lots of cars took a left onto a dead end, needs signage to show which way to turn onto the road at the exit. Clean enough and lighting ok, lift worked.
