Excellent Services

Both drivers to and from the terminal were great. Dropping off the car was straightforward, a very helpful staff member (he was orchestrating the cars & the taxis ) told us that an accident had blocked the road to the ship terminal, however the company’s driver was fantastic navigating the roads to avoid the inevitable traffic backlog and get us there in plenty of time. The staff on reception were lovely and reassuring. On our return, I spoke with Christina who was charming and very helpful. Also, the website is easy to navigate and easy to book their services including the text updates.

I used this service for the first time from 18/4 and returned to collect my car on 25/4. Fast efficient service. Taken from where we dropped the car to the port via mini bus. Helped with our luggage which was especially good as my mum has limited mobility. Friendly drivers. Car waiting when we got off the ship and no issues with it.

The service is first rate, both taking us to the ship at the perfect location to be drop and collecting after our trip.
The car was as it was left no mileage, no scratches etc and the staff are very attentive and quick to deal with you. Location and direction to find the place was quick and easy.

We’re very sorry to read your comments and take any concerns about vehicle condition extremely seriously.

However, we must clarify the facts. When you collected your vehicle, our team followed standard procedure and asked you to inspect the car before leaving the premises. No damage was reported at that time.

You first contacted us 5 days after collection to raise this issue. As clearly stated in our Terms & Conditions — which are accepted at the time of booking — any damage must be reported immediately upon collection and before leaving the site. This allows us to investigate promptly while all evidence is available. Unfortunately, reporting this several days later makes it impossible for us to verify when or where the damage may have occurred.

With regard to footage, due to the high volume of vehicles we handle daily, recordings are only retained for a short, standard period and are automatically overwritten as part of our normal recording cycle. As a result, the relevant footage is no longer available.

We strongly refute any suggestion of dishonesty. We pride ourselves on operating a professional and transparent service, and where damage is reported correctly at the time of collection, we do fully investigate and resolve matters appropriately.

Cruise Parking Southampton

We started our cruise holiday by using Cruise Parking Southampton.

Directions were clear and we found the location easily. We metJag who arranged for our free transportation to our ship and reassured us that although our car was a Toyota Hybrid if we texted or called upon our return they would not only collect us from the ship but make sure our car was charged. It was very reassuring as Hybrids are notorious for running flat after 2 weeks.

The OUTSTANDING service was upon our unexpected delay in returning to Southampton.

My husband fractured his hip and we were offloaded in the Azores. I called Jag at Cruise Parking Southampton and informed him of our possible delay. I also asked his advice on having our car returned to Lancashire as our Travel Insurance would be flying us directly home.

I arranged for Compassionate return of our car through the AA but Jag at CPS was awoken several times in the middle of the night by the possibility that they were collecting our car. Jag then filmed the process and made sure I was aware of exactly what was happening.

The relief this gave me and the kindness of Jag at CPS was above and beyond what I could have expected and I am exceedingly grateful.

From start to finish they provided an excellent personal service. The instructions were very clear on whereto go and what to do. A professional and friendly service was provided with no waiting around, and help was given with luggage. I would confidently book with them again and can recommend using Southampton Cruise Parking.

Great service

I booked online and had a small issue with the website and I rang and they were very helpful and got me all booked in. Getting there was easy and the handover was swift. We were dropped to the boat and all very simple. Collecting went smoothly and car was ready for me to leave. Would certainly use again

A wonderful experience

From the initial booking process to the car pick up, the service and attention from Southampton Cruise Parking Services was perfect. After booking, I changed my car so rang to advise of the change. No automated answer machine, an actual person to speak to who was helpful and efficient. We booked two cars, arrived together, were taken with our luggage to the terminal by the lovely John and collected on our return by him too within just 10 minutes of texting. The instructions were simple to follow and John was super helpful. We travelled with elderly parents so it was refreshing to have such kindness. This company will now be my go to for any Southampton departures, it’s great to receive such good customer service and it is appreciated. Thank you.

Great company

Great company. I'm glad I chose them for car parking at Southampton. Easy to find without driving through the local traffic and busy port parking. Booking in easy. Great and friendly communication.
Shuttle service spot on, and drivers friendly and knowledgeable. Will definitely use again.

We parked with Southampton cruise parking for the first time between February 28th - March 14th, the service we received was first rate, travelling to and from the port was quick and effortless and the staff were very friendly. We will definitely use them again.
