Our experience with this parking and transfer service was wholly unsatisfactory and demonstrated a consistent lack of professionalism, organisation, and basic operational standards.
The condition of the premises is unacceptable. The surface area is wet, muddy, and stony, making it extremely difficult to manoeuvre luggage. There are multiple potholes throughout the site, and the overall appearance resembles wasteland rather than a legitimate, regulated business facility, giving the impression of an informal or potentially unlawful parking operation.
No assistance was offered with luggage at any stage. We were transported to the Radisson Blu Hotel adjacent to the airport and instructed to return to the same location upon our arrival back in the UK. Despite the company being fully aware of our landing time, no representative was present to meet us.
We were left waiting in freezing conditions, and it required two telephone calls and a delay of approximately 45 minutes before collection was arranged.
The standard of transport and driver conduct was unacceptable. The drive to the airport was carried out without due care and attention, including harsh braking, failure to give way appropriately, and not allowing sufficient space to other road users, creating unnecessary risk and serious concerns regarding passenger and public safety. On our return journey, the driver’s conduct was unprofessional and overtly rude.
The vehicle provided raises serious safety and compliance concerns. A large minibus was deployed to collect only two passengers. Upon arrival, the engine cut out when the driver stopped. The vehicle displayed multiple defects, including:
▪︎ A missing driver-side door mirror
▪︎ Absence of a tachograph (tacho card), which is a legal requirement
▪︎ A knocking rear shock absorber on the passenger side
These defects raise significant concerns regarding vehicle roadworthiness, legal compliance, and passenger safety.
Customer service standards were equally poor. The individual handling telephone communications demonstrated minimal concern, urgency, or accountability regarding the delayed collection and inconvenience caused.
In summary, this service reflects poor management, inadequate safety standards, and a lack of basic professionalism. Based on our experience, we cannot recommend this company to anyone seeking secure parking, reliable transport, or a professionally operated airport transfer service.
