Accidentally entered car park 2 for a pick up. Couldn't get to level 0 so paid £15 to exit. Drove around to the correct entrance and paid £7.
I emailed and they very kindly refunded the £25.

Mega cheap, tiny spaces though

Mega cheap carpark for a week. Location is good. Not in the heart of the city but a 15 minute walk to work. Carpark feels safe. Only issue is the spaces are small. I drive a VW polo and I struggle to get out of the car even when I park passenger side right up against the wall

Book a space for 12.30-5pm for my sons graduation, instructions said take a ticket on arrival and use my referral code number when leaving, ticket not needed, i got back to the car park in time, and on leaving I was ringing the bell on the ticket machine to give my ref number but no one was answering, luckily I still had my ticket, put it into the machine and it charged me £6 for going over by a couple of minutes because I was sat there waiting for someone to answer the ring for several mins

I made a mistake whilst using the Heathrow drop off area. I had to go 3 times in a week and on one occasion I thought my daughter had paid , she thought I had , I got the fine which is fair enough but I appealed for mercy as it was not a deliberate attempt to avoid payment but a mistake in a busy week.
The support department reviewed the case and refunded me £33 of my fine leaving the £7 I would have paid . I am impressed by the decision and fairness. Car parking companies do not always get good reviews but I am happy , many thanks

LUTON AIRPORT DROPPOFF - RIPOFF

Update (04/08/2026): Following a formal appeal detailing the legal and statutory flaws of this ticket, APCOA has officially cancelled the charge. While I'm glad common sense prevailed in my case, the core problem isn't solved. Drivers shouldn't have to know complex legal loopholes just to avoid being hit with unfair fines from a poorly designed drop-off zone. My review stands until the user experience is genuinely fixed.

Original Review:
Ever since APCOA removed the gates from the Luton Airport Drop-Off, I've received a multitude of parking fines. The new layout is simply not user-friendly, and without a physical barrier, it is way too easy to forget to pay. Not to mention, expecting people to take notes on how and where to pay parking charges while actively driving is ridiculous and unsafe. This poor design is exacerbated by the fact that you cannot plan your journey and pay in advance. Compare it to the Dart Charge, which literally lets you pay in advance for months. With APCOA, you can only pay afterwards, which is ridiculously unreasonable. When you are doing airport runs and receiving family, the last thing on your mind is logging on to deal with APCOA. It's an absolute rip-off and a horrid experience. I wonder how many people fall into this error.
