“Arrived at night, lighting within the car park was poor, line markings were faded and signage was non existent. The received a fine for parking in a row that was full of other cars, the airport claimed it was a walkway. The evidence they sent to back up this claim was of very poor quality, showing that even in day light the lining for the car park is so badly faded that a walkway cannot be identified. The spaces are also on the small side, and whilst I was parked in the car park someone had scratched/hit the side of my car.”
“Hi i did approached Air port car park been payed money but been struggling to found the parking spot to park my car its a bit embarrassing.
And if you found the spot the gap between cars is minimum. So scratches been found on the cars .
So nothing nice can tell about it.”
“We parked over the weekend and came back and recieved a privacy notice. No clear explanation of what this was about or why. No clear signage for parking restrictions. Despite paying for the weekend”
“I payed for parking in advance and recieved confirmation with a key to the parking lot I was allocated to. I arrived and parked at the correct place. When I came to leave, the barrier would not lift. I called for help and was told you where in the wrong car park and it's another £16. I was late in the evening and I had to pay to leave, no question.
I was also with my adult son, and we could not believe how we got the wrong car park - which we didn't. This clearly a con.”
“Confusing signage which you can not read in the dark. Failed to find pre booked car parked had to leave car in long stay as I could not turn round to navigate to the smart parking I had booked ended up costing me £76 for one day”
“Too far from terminal with several crossings, difficult with luggage, no trolley available so had to walk to terminal to collect one, all this is wind and rain.
What was even worse was using twilight check-in, the car park for this was even further away again no trolleys!
Wouldn’t recommend either.”
“SmartPark parking was Ok, but very frustrating that when exiting the airport building the Car Park sign says go to the right ... when SmartPark is to the left.
Not much fun wandering around aimlessly with suitcases in the rain when your lack of signage was to blame.
On this basis, I would not recommend at this price to anyone else ... Very Poor !!!”
“Ref LPLWM03876225.

“Massive overcharge of £20 for being 1 hr 28 minutes late due to flight delay because of bad weather.
Will try and avoid in future and keep using Manchester airport”
“Well the instructions for parking were not very clear.
But will say talking to them on the intercom. They were just brilliant and saved me from a he'll i was in . Just brilliant lads on the end of the intercom . I have received a £60 parking ticket ?”
“When arriving in the dark and wet conditions we found it very difficult for the long walk in the wind and rain to the main terminal,on our way back we took ten minutes to find our car (no numbers or letters to say what row we were in)”
“Paid for EV charging only to return from holiday to find the car not charged. No where on site to charge it. Had to take a detour on way home adding to journey time”
