I had a problem with confusion over…dates

I had a problem with confusion over payment for parking resulting in a payment of £170 to a debt recovery firm.
Ashliegh of Gemini parking reviewed the payments and has asked the debt recovery fund to repay the £170.
She was most helpful in reviewing the payments.

I purchased a 7 a week quarterly season tick and got a ticket anyway!

I purchased a 7 a week quarterly parking permit for a long stay c/park in Banbury and started parking from the permit start date. three days later i get a parking fine that was issued incorrectly and unlawfully. The PCN issuing operatives clear do not thoroughly check their data base for authorised vehicles. They clearly need re-training

Isabella H was very helpful

Isabella H was very helpful. Parker the auto response was not and needs work. Generally people are in need of advice they cannot find, so parker is actually detramental to the process of a live chat than supportive. Isabella was great in confirming i had already paid my charge as expected, adn that the text about unpaid costs was a scam (as thought). Not only that she promised to share and review to stop this confusing others in future. Great service, thanks.

Pre-booking is so easy

Easy to park and felt assured that I could leave car for 24 hours. I was worried with having to leave the car park in the early morning however, it was so straightforward and easy to do. Would use again.

I mistakenly parked in the Mid Stay car park at Luton Airport, as I was unaware that the free drop-off arrangements had changed. APCOA kindly reviewed my request and agreed to refund the amount as a gesture of goodwill. I really appreciate their understanding and helpful customer service.

Unfortunately our flight to Tiree was cancelled last minute due to weather on the island. I spoke to a lovely gate operator who was very sympathetic and provided me with an email address to help apply for car parking refund. I am happy to report I was provided with a full refund. What an excellent customer service team. A special thanks to Paul for all his help! Thank you

Great Service, Terrible Tech

Found it very difficult to get through by phone on the number provided. 6 calls, all with a 20 minute wait and then at the end of each 20 minutes a message that everyone is busy and I should leave a message.

I left multiple messages and no-one responded.

There is no evidence that this line is even manned.

HOWEVER

When I DID get through (by selecting a different option to the Claims Team option (option 5) I was very pleasantly surprised

Luke Tempest, Service Agent, was friendly, knowledgeable, sympathetic and customer focused.

Solved my problem immediately whilst I was on the phone. Superstar indeed,

Note to APCOA. Relying on individual heroes to rescue you from poor tech and/or insufficient people is not generally considered a good long term business strategy.

Luke gets 5 stars, your queuing system gets none.

I was wrongly charged £50

I was wrongly charged £50 at the Drop Off exit, Glasgow Airport. Paul Harwood at Apcoa was brilliant. He looked into this for me and it transpired the cameras did not show me exiting, hence the high charge. Paul reacted to my query, quickly, with courtesy and ensured a refund of the money wrongly taken Big thanks.

Allow bookings to be amanded

All worked well on the day.
However I did initially book the wrong day as the website was set to the following day and not on the day and I couldn't amend it which was frustrating and had to pay twice.
Bring able to amend the booking would have been better.
