Frequently asked questions

Quick answers about booking, payments, amendments and on-the-day parking.

Who is A2Z Airport Parking?

A2Z Airport Parking is a booking agent for UK airport parking. We compare Meet & Greet and Park & Ride deals from verified operators — we do not own car parks or handle vehicles ourselves.

Why should I pre-book airport parking?

Pre-booked prices are typically up to 60% cheaper than paying at the gate on the day. You also guarantee a space and avoid last-minute stress at busy airports.

How do I make a parking booking?

Enter your airport, drop-off and pick-up dates on our homepage search, compare deals, then complete checkout. You will receive a confirmation email with your booking reference.

Are online payments secure?

Yes. Card payments are processed by Stripe using industry-standard encryption. We do not store full card details on our servers.

How do I get my booking confirmation?

A confirmation email is sent when payment completes. You can also download your voucher anytime via Manage Booking using your email and booking reference.

I haven't received my booking confirmation email — what should I do?

Check your spam or junk folder first. You can download your confirmation and parking instructions at any time via Manage Booking using the email address and booking reference from checkout. If you still cannot find it, contact support and we will resend it.

How do I update my vehicle registration number?

Sign in to Manage Booking to update your registration and other vehicle details. Drop-off and return dates cannot be changed online — contact support or open a ticket for date changes.

What does gate price mean?

Gate price is what you would pay if you turn up on the day without a reservation. Pre-booking through A2Z is almost always cheaper.

Can I book airport parking over the phone?

Yes — contact our customer service team during office hours (Monday–Friday, excluding bank holidays). Details are on our contact page.

Why is there a booking fee?

The booking fee covers running our comparison site, customer support and secure card processing.

How do I amend my booking?

For amendments, contact our support team with your booking reference. Date changes requested at least 48 hours before arrival cost £10.00 plus any increase in the quoted parking price. Other booking-detail changes cost £5.99 when requested at least 48 hours before departure (£2.99 when more than 72 hours before departure). Amendments cannot be made less than 24 hours before departure, and changes within 48 hours of arrival cannot normally be processed. Non-flexible bookings cannot be amended.

How do I cancel my booking?

Flexible bookings may be cancelled when we receive the request at least 48 hours before the scheduled parking arrival time. A £20.00 cancellation fee will be deducted from the refund.

Requests received within 48 hours are non-refundable. Non-flexible bookings cannot be cancelled, amended or refunded. Please check the product details, booking confirmation and Terms & Conditions. See our Cancellation Policy.

Can I change my return date?

For amendments, contact our support team with your booking reference. Date changes requested at least 48 hours before arrival cost £10.00 plus any increase in the quoted parking price. Other booking-detail changes cost £5.99 when requested at least 48 hours before departure (£2.99 when more than 72 hours before departure). Amendments cannot be made less than 24 hours before departure, and changes within 48 hours of arrival cannot normally be processed. Non-flexible bookings cannot be amended. Once your vehicle is with the provider, contact them directly with your new return time.

What is a non-flex product?

Non-flex (non-refundable) rates offer a lower price but cannot be amended, cancelled or refunded. This is clearly shown before you complete checkout.

Do I need to leave my car keys?

For Meet & Greet you will normally leave keys with the chauffeur. Some Park & Ride sites let you keep keys — check the product "More Info" or your confirmation voucher.

What time should I arrive at the car park?

Allow enough time to meet your chauffeur or catch the shuttle before your terminal check-in deadline. Arriving on your booked time avoids delays and extra charges.

What happens if my flight is delayed?

Call the service provider using the number on your confirmation as soon as you know about the delay. If you stay longer than booked — including due to a delayed or cancelled flight — you must pay the provider's prevailing daily overstay rate (normally £25–£45 per extra day). Late Return Cover may apply on eligible products — see your voucher and terms.

Should I remove valuables from my vehicle?

Yes. Do not leave valuables in your car. A2Z is not responsible for items left inside the vehicle. Take a receipt from the driver if you must leave anything.

I'm about 20 minutes from the airport — who should I call?

Call your parking operator using the number on your confirmation voucher — not A2Z. We are the booking agent; the operator handles meet-and-greet or shuttle arrangements on the day.

What is a Park Mark awarded car park?

Park Mark is a police-backed safety scheme. Awarded sites use modern security (CCTV, fencing, patrols) and are regularly inspected to maintain standards.

What is a BPA member car park?

British Parking Association membership indicates the operator follows recognised industry standards for quality and customer care.
