Parking charge was issued despite prebooking parking

The parking spaces at the Northern Quarter car park in Manchester were very tight for a larger car. I found the staff I spoke to to confirm I was ok to have arrived slightly after the prebooked time very friendly. As was the security guard who supported me when I arrived back to my car to find a parking charge notice had been issued, which was less positive! Unfortunately, there seems to be an issue with parking prebooked online through Apcoa not being visible. This was really frustrating and added unnecessary stress to our day out. On a positive, the parking price using the special offer I found was reasonable for city centre parking for up to 12 hours :)
Let's hope Manchester City Council accept my appeal and cancel the charge, otherwise I will certainly not have been cheap as I will need to take the appeal to court.

All went well and great security but we and other people turned the wrong way out of the lift as the door was on the left but we needed the one on the right! A small sign would be useful.

Central parking for Chester

Having pre booked parking I was given good information on what to do. There isn’t number plate recognition so you have to take a ticket on entry and speak to the attendant on exit. He was very helpful and patient as I didn’t have my reading glasses on so couldn’t make out my booking number on the receipt. He came out and checked it in person and let us out. Thank you for your help.🙂

I had an issue validating my off shore vantage card for discount parking, so I had to pay the full amount which was quite high as I didn’t prebook, more than double what I should pay. So I emailed to ask if this could be resolved, I received a swift reply from Paul Harwood, in 12 days my query had been dealt with and refunded, excellent service.

it’s a absolute disgrace’

it’s a absolute disgrace’ you cannot justify your pricing in anyway’ you’ve had the car park for less then a year and have already put the price up . It’s a joke , you are treating the travaling public as nothing more the cash cows . You provide absolutely no security for the parked cars , but charge £12 10p per day , basically it’s extortion and shouldn’t be a loud

It was the view mostly we are here from Australia so hired a car it was very tight going up and down people were honking at us because we were going a little bit slow but it wasn’t our fault really it should be a bit wider

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
