I forgot to pay the £7 Heathrow…

I forgot to pay the £7 Heathrow drop-off charge within the required time limit. When I later went online to make the payment, I accidentally paid for a new drop-off instead, as the original charge was no longer available.

I contacted customer services to explain what had happened, and I was pleasantly surprised by their response. They refunded the incorrect payment and reduced the late payment charge back to the original £7 fee.

I honestly didn't expect such a fair and understanding outcome from a parking company. Their customer service team was helpful, reasonable, and resolved the issue quickly. A great example of putting customers first. Thank you!

This is my first time to appeal for a refund

This is my first time to appeal for a refund for a penalty fine I know I did not knowingly acted on. Thank you to the people of APCOA whom I would like to thank.
First person was the gentleman who advised me to pay the penalty of £7 before it escalated to the full £100+ fine then gave me the Link to write an appeal.
Stephanie and Hannie who were professional in their proactive response to my appeal. God Bless you all. Grateful thank you.

Great customer services response, but the car park experience was stressful

The parking experience was not good due to lack of clear payment instructions when parking an EV during a 30min drop-off. What was meant to be £1 cost me £21.50. I left the car park overcharged, disappointed and stressed. This process and how it is communicated should be improved.

However, the customer support agent from APCOA Parking UK was very helpful in sorting it out. Thanks Samantha B for your prompt resolution.

Nightmare parking issues solved easily by Paul

After our flight home was cancelled we arrived to pick up our car a day late from the car park where we were met with an additional charge of £225 due to my cars registration info being taken down wrong due to a technological error. Paul was incredibly helpful in helping us get our money back, stress free and straightforward. Emails back and forth were consistent and quick which is just what you need when you are dealing with the chaos of a cancelled flight.

Thank you for the help!

What a shambolic and scam company

What a shambolic and scam company. They are the judas’s , Simon the tax collector and satanic gleaners of the world, making money from misery from ordinary honest people by their trickery and often fake “rules and “contracts” . They are the shylocks of the modern age, hiding within the margins of legal legitimacy. Challenge them and they will fade back into the evil shadows they emerged from. Shame upon anyone that works for them claimining “they are only doing their job”. They are an accursed enterprise founded upon falsehood, threats and fake legitimacy. If you work for them, you yourself are cursed. Claiming you were “just doing your job” will not save you. You are working for an evil, satanic enterprise. See how your Karma works out.

I recently dropped off friends off fro a holiday at Heathrow. Their pet in my care became very unwell. The stress and worry this caused + the vet visit, I forgot to pay the drop off charge in the given timeframe. I wrote to the Heathrow Terminal Drop Off Team, explaining the situation with supporting evidence and they kindly reimbursed the fine was issued. I am so grateful for their understanding and kindness. We need more of this, in this world.

Scummy Con Artists

Scummy Con Artists - They removed all manual payment systems from the car park. They use ANPR and issued a fine. Went to pay it, followed the website address on the document and it says system down, please allow 24 hours. I wait 24 hours, same again. I send emails and screenshots showing my issue. No response, time has now changed into £100.00 fine, still can't access using PCN number, raise again. Each time it sends an email asking to wait 5 days for response. (So I did) First time I hear anything is today, from Debt Collection asking for £170.00 - I've had to pay and take it up with APCOA - First email I had was today saying it is somehow my fault that I didn't send in a cheque if the system was down. I don't even own a cheque book its 2026! I despise these companies, £170 to drop off my parents. Their own system is down as shown directly with time stamps. Its literally robbery. Scum.
