Efficient. Cheap. Well organised.
None.
I went to Dubai last year with my husband and two sisters. Flights were around £80 cheaper per person from Heathrow rather than Birmingham but if we were to fly from Heathrow we would then have the inconvenience of travelling down there. Decisions, decisions!
We decided it would be cheaper to pay petrol money and parking between us and drive down instead of catching trains or a coach to Heathrow. The only thing that worried us was the airport parking, we had never left our car with the Purple Parking service before so we didn't really know what to expect. My husband is very protective of his car, I just hoped it would be suitable.
After shopping around we came across Purple Parking. It was extremely easy to book online, around £60 for 10 days, and when we arrived we were pleased with the level of security we received. CCTV everywhere, as well as scans of cars both on the way in and out! My husband was very pleased.
We pulled up in our designated parking spot a stones throw from the shuttle bus stop and left our keys in the ignition as instructed. We took out our luggage, ready for the helpful staff to load onto the shuttle (minibus size) trailer. After completing some final bits and pieces with reception, we jumped into the shuttle for Terminal 4, they have separate shuttles for different terminals. About 5 minutes after arriving, we left for the Terminal!
Although the site is a little further out than some other parking companies, it only took us 10 to 15 minutes maximum to get to Terminal 4 via the Purple Parking shuttle. It was fantastic. No hassle whatsoever. I would highly recommend it. Extremely competitive price, I am using them again for my return to Dubai in August.
On our return, it was just as easy. One quick phone call to tell them you've landed and they're either waiting for you when you come out or they're well on their way! Brilliant. You will have no trouble with this service. It's fantastic, what more can I say?
