App Functionality and Discounts

Pros:

  • "offered massive savings 3hours £6 which is good."
  • "Before I went to this car park I saw most reviews and was in doubts to go, and I think people are over reacting because I downloaded the app before I left and was very easy to scan the QR code on the entry as well as the exist and was only charged £9 for more than 4hrs."

Cons:

  • "downloading app was a complete scam."
  • "Should be zero stars. Drove in & went to download app which gives 50% discount but it was too late as it reads your number plate when you drive in & charges full price."
  • "You need us to know about the app BEFORE we park. . You have the info on your payment machines when it's too late."
  • "An absolute rip off! 17 pounds for two hours. They don't tell you that you have to download the app before entering the car park - otherwise you spend a fortune."
  • "I only wish the sign to register with their app was displayed BEFORE you drive in, as that saves you money! But you need to have an account ready before you enter."
  • "Firstly the main highlighted prices are for PAY BY APP ONLY, otherwise it is more than TRIPLE the price."
  • "Wouldn’t even give it a 1 star daylight robbery says you get half price parking if you pay via the app but you have to scan the app before you enter to do that."

  • "The parking bays are a little tight and the columns make parking a little tricky on larger cars, but that's standard."
