A straight forward system

A straight forward system. Good parking for us as we had heavy baggage and needed a city centre location.
However.... giving an exact time of arrival meant we had to go slow to reach the destination. We had to estimate the long distance journey and add in any hold ups.
This is the first time using this system of booking a space so hopefully any future parking we won't have to hang around service stations in order to arrive 'on time'

Outstanding Service from Terri McGarvey, APCOA Complaints Handler

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Terri McGarvey from APCOA's Complaints Department for the exceptional service she provided.
Due to a failure by Royal Mail to deliver my original £60 penalty notice, I was completely unaware that the charge existed and therefore had no opportunity to pay it. The first correspondence I received was from a debt recovery company, by which point the amount had escalated to £170. Naturally, this was a very stressful and frustrating situation. I contacted APCOA's Complaints Department and was fortunate to have my case handled by Terri. From the outset, she was professional, understanding and highly efficient. She reviewed my circumstances and communicated with me promptly throughout the process. Her emails were clear, informative and reassuring, ensuring I understood every step being taken.
Thanks to Terri's intervention, the matter was resolved effectively and her assistance made a significant difference. It is refreshing to encounter a complaints handler who genuinely listens, communicates so well and works to achieve a fair outcome.Terri is a real asset to APCOA and I am extremely grateful for her help and support. Thank you, Terri, for your outstanding customer service and professionalism.

Pleasantly Surprised.

I have not used this service before so I contacted their customer care service. I was helped by Leah who could not have done enough for me. I'm not very tech savy, but she dealt with all my rookie questions patiently and professionally. I'm used to waiting up to 24 hours for a reply when using services like these, but Leah replied within minutes of each query, with clear and concise instructions and advice.
Thanks again Leah.

Genuine mistake sorted

A disappointing experience with APCOA over a parking charge and appeal was rectified by Miss Terri McGarvey, a complaints handler, who was really helpful in sorting out the issues. Thank you. We definitely keep parking with APCOA!

I am disabled and I was having issues finding the correct place to park which would be the nearest to the disabled pick up point. The help that Samantha B gave me was very clear and direct for me to follow. It saved me loads of issues as I went to Belfast the weekend before contacting her and that was a nightmare. So, I am very grateful to Samantha B. Thank you

Lingsfield Railways station parking

Lingsfield Railways station parking: 20 minutes free parking and then payable ok understandable but I wasn’t sure if I was there for more than 20 minutes so I decide to pay for 30 or even for 1 hours, I than start looking for pay point machine but there wasn’t any instead signs on the poles to scan the QR code to bring you to APCOA website but there…you are unable to hourly, minimum is 1 day parking which was £7 so in short they forcefully took £7 from me for staying 20 minute or so in the parking, not fair at all so thumbs down for APCOA parking company

We paid for a weeks parking at the rail station in Tenby, but because there was a lot of building work, seemingly on the bridge over the rails, half the spaces were unavailable to park in. As a consequence we were unable to park there on 2 days and had to pay to park elsewhere. We were not happy as we hadnt been told that half the car park was being used to store contractors equipment.
