That's right this should be the real name of this company. I am surprised that these people are not behind bars. Where are you uk police ?????????.

I live in a quiet area of Horley and this company just dumps their cars on the streets here, they do not have a compound. Some if the cars have even been towed away after residents report them Use a reputable comsy.

These people took our money and didn't pick up our car on the day, we had to arrange an alternative on the day. Promised a refund and now we cannot contact them and no refund DO NOT USE THEM!!!

Do not under any circumstances use this set of services. And I suggest back ground checks are done whenever using this kind of service just in case it is the same company using a different name. Ask for address of secure comoound.

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY- THEY PARK YOUR CAR ON A MAIN ROAD AND LIE TO YOU. THEY DO NOT HAVE A SECURE COMPOUND- PLEASE DO NOT USE !!!!! DO NOT COVER YOU IF CAR STOLEN OR DAMAGED

After seeing Watchdog absolutely shocked. I find it strange on their own web site they seem to have all 5* ratings for their service. Am I a sceptic or do they write their own reviews. The scoring nears no resemblance to whats on other review sites. Cant understand why the Airport authority allows them to continue trading

I feel it was a life changing event having my car driven as i was on holiday and left in random car parks. i feel it was fantastic service as i wanted to scratch my cam my self but with gold parking they do it for you. I also feel I have too much money and not enough points on my driving licence..... Guess what, thay can give you 3 points and a a fine come to your house at no extra cost!!!! Great service.

This company is a JOKE! they will lie and lie over and over, if you get your car back you are lucky, if you get it back in one piece you're very lucky! Customers seem to be a hindrance to them!

I've reported First Choice for dumping cars around Crawley Industrial estate. It's exactly the same MO as Gold. They were using non secure and completely open car parks. Actually they were trespassing on private property last year when they dumped customer's cars and had to move all of them off so they must have been dumped along roads. Is that what you pay your money for when you leave a car with them so they can just leave it anywhere?

This was on rogue traders on watchdog. they park your car on the street. They don't have a car park. Avoid at all costs

Used them in June 2013 & great service no problems. So booked again for January for 2 weeks. Did not answer phone when en route to airport & ended up in Gatwick long stay car park. Managed to get them on the phone & met driver at airport, gave him key & £15 to get car out of car park. Returned back early from holiday as father ill & died. Let them know & asked to pick up car day later. What a fiasco, ended up meeting at office & driving to car compound in countryside. Got car back but list key (had spare). Promised refund & post key but still waiting.....feel got off lightly after watching rogue traders on watchdog!

Do not use this company. We have been away and found out the car was never parked in a secure compound as advertised

Instead of a secure compound your car is likely to be left in the street or maybe in a public car park. Watch "Watchdog" BBC 1, May 14th 2014.

Full investigation by the Watch Dog Team ..... Please don't use them !!! BBC 1. 20.00 hrs 14.05.14

Been looking on line and can't find any proof this is true - so can you tell me what proof you have? We used 1st (and it is 1st not First) choice last November and left our brand new car with them. Brilliant service. Polite people. No problems
