How it works

Booking airport parking from the driver's side — what you do, what we do, and what the car park does.

You search and compare

It starts with an airport and a date range. You give the date and time you arrive and return, and back comes a list of car parks with space on every one of those days — priced for the whole stay rather than per day. A site that is full on even one of your days does not appear as a tempting offer you could not book anyway.

Offers differ in more than price. Next to each we give the type of site, how you reach the terminal and how long that takes, the facilities such as cameras, fencing or a roof, and the rating left by drivers who parked there. Several offers can be lined up side by side and compared row by row on the same items, instead of scrolling back and forth between two car park pages.

You book and pay online

Once you pick an offer there is a single form: contact details, how many people are travelling to the terminal, and the return flight number. The car's registration plate you can give now or skip — it is not required, because the quote counts cars rather than plates, and you can correct it right up to driving in. No account is needed either: create one along the way, or not at all. If your quote includes optional extras, you choose them here and watch the amount change as you do.

Payment is online and covers the whole stay. You have 30 minutes to complete it; for that window the dates are held for you and nobody else can take them. After it, an unfinished booking expires and the space returns to the pool. We send the confirmation only once the payment has cleared, which keeps the email in your inbox meaning exactly one thing: the space is yours.

You get a confirmation and an entry code

The confirmation email carries your booking number in the OPK-XXXXXX format, the car park's address, its phone number, and the “Reservation and payment confirmation” document attached as a PDF. That same number is the entry code. The email prints it as digits — the scannable QR code waits on the confirmation page, behind the management link and on the printable sheet, so nobody has to read digits off a screen at the barrier.

The email also holds the link that manages your booking. Behind it, with no sign-in and no phone call, you change the dates, correct the vehicle details, fill in invoice details or cancel altogether. The link works for 30 days past your planned departure, so it stays useful after you are back as well.

The document itself is created the moment the payment clears, and from then on you can also download it from the confirmation page or behind the management link. It names the service provider — the legal entity together with its tax id — the address of the site, the dates of the stay, the amount broken into lines, and the date it was paid. What the document is not, the last section explains.

You leave the car and head to the terminal

At the site you give your booking number — it is the entry code, so it helps to have the confirmation open on your phone. The registration plate is not needed for that, and the staff will fill it in on arrival if you never gave one. The code opens no automatic barrier: a person checks it. At sites offering handover at the terminal you do not drive to the car park at all — you leave the car with the staff by the terminal and they park it for you.

How you get to the terminal is what the particular offer says: by the operator's shuttle, on foot where the site sits close enough, or not at all — some sites run no transfer. The type of ride, its duration and its running hours are a setting of the car park, not a rule of the whole platform, so we state them next to the offer and repeat them in the confirmation instead of promising one thing on every operator's behalf. The confirmation also carries the site's phone number — that is what you call if the ride has to be arranged or the pick-up point agreed.

You come back and collect the car

After landing you call the car park on the number from your confirmation and give your booking number. The return flight number you entered when booking is there for the staff to see, so they can check when you actually get off the plane — we do not track flights for you, but a delayed flight neither voids the booking nor needs warning in advance.

The one thing worth keeping in mind is how a day is counted: from the arrival time, with every started 24 hours making another day. Each quote shows the hour at which the next one would be added and what it costs, so a few hours' slip on the way back can be worked out beforehand rather than discovered at the desk.

When plans change

Plans move, and the flow expects it. The dates and the number of people you change yourself behind the management link, for as long as the free cancellation deadline counted from the original arrival date has not passed. The quote is then recalculated against the rates in force on the day you change it, not the ones from the day you bought — which is why we show you the difference, whichever way it falls, before you confirm anything. The flight number, the vehicle details and the invoice details you can correct behind the same link after that deadline too, because none of them touch the price.

Cancelling is still possible after the free cancellation deadline has passed. The deadline itself is set by each car park separately and there is no single number for the whole service, so we state the one that applies next to the offer, in the checkout and in your confirmation — rather than printing a figure here that some sites would contradict. Before it we return the full amount you paid; after it the booking can still be cancelled, but the payment is not returned.

Who is responsible for what

The parking service is sold by the car park operator — they run the site and set the rates, the availability, the terms of the ride to the terminal and the free cancellation deadline. We run the platform: we present offers in a comparable form, calculate the quote, take the payment and handle the booking from confirmation to collection. We are paid a commission by the operator.

That split has a practical consequence. Anything about the booking itself — the confirmation, a change of dates, the payment document — is ours to sort out. Anything happening on the site, from the hour the shuttle pulls in to a space that fits a tall vehicle, is settled fastest with the car park directly, on the number in your confirmation.

That is where the line beside the price comes from. Our commission is deducted from the operator's payout, so the amount you pay is the car park's own price — we add no booking fee and no service fee to it. Where the operator's rates include a mandatory line (a surcharge for an extra passenger in the shuttle, say), that is the operator's price too, and you see it in the breakdown before you pay — never for the first time on arrival.

The same split decides what the document you receive actually is. It is a confirmation of the reservation and of the payment, not an invoice: we are not the ones selling you the stay, so there is nothing for us to invoice. The invoice is issued by the car park operator, as the provider of the service. You give the details for it at checkout, or add them later behind the management link — they go onto the document and the operator sees them in their panel, so they have what they need to issue it.
