Extremely Disappointing and…
Extremely Disappointing and Unprofessional Valet Parking Service
This is by far the worst valet parking service I have ever experienced. My experience with Park 247 was extremely stressful, and I found the service unreliable, poorly organised, and completely lacking in customer service.
When we arrived at Gatwick North Terminal for departure, a random individual turned up late wearing a hoodie and flip-flops. He was not wearing a uniform and did not provide any form of identification. He told us he was there to collect our car, but given the circumstances, we were understandably very concerned about handing over our vehicle.
The problems continued when we returned to Gatwick. We called as soon as we arrived, but the mobile number repeatedly went to voicemail. Eventually, we managed to speak to someone and were told our car would be brought to us. Around 30 minutes later, the car still had not arrived. When we called again, we were told that we had never called in the first place, and we were effectively called liars. This was incredibly frustrating and completely unacceptable.
The attitude of the person on the phone was particularly disappointing. Rather than trying to resolve the situation professionally, the conversation became argumentative and rude. At one point, after I became understandably frustrated, I was told, “You think you’re a gangster?” This is an absolutely shocking way to speak to a paying customer.
I also checked my vehicle’s camera footage afterwards and discovered that the car had apparently been left parked in an isolated location in Crawley rather than in what I would consider a secure, professional parking facility. This raised further concerns about how the vehicles are handled and stored.
On top of everything else, we were also asked to pay additional car parking charges that had not been clearly specified when we made the booking. Had I known about these additional costs and experienced this level of service beforehand, I would have paid a little more and used a more established Gatwick parking company instead.
Overall, this was an extremely poor experience from start to finish. The communication was terrible, the customer service was unacceptable, and the way our vehicle was handled left us seriously concerned.
I would not use Park 247 again and, based on my experience, I would strongly recommend considering other, more established Gatwick parking providers.
