- Hotel bookings under these tiers can be cancelled up to 1pm on the day of arrival.
- Supersaver bookings cannot be amended or cancelled at all.
- Car hire can be cancelled up to 48 hours before travel, but cannot be amended.
Will I get a refund if I cancel my Purple Parking booking?
It depends on your booking type:
- Fully-Flexible or Free Cancellation bookings: You'll receive a voucher for the full value of your original booking, valid for up to 18 months, usable on any future Holiday Extras booking. You can request a cash refund within 14 days of the voucher being issued. Note that bookings cancelled seven days or more after the original booking date are refunded less £10, which is held as a non-refundable balance on your account.
- Saver bookings: You'll receive a voucher for the full value to rebook the same product, valid for 18 months. No cash refund is available on Saver products.
- Supersaver bookings: These cannot be cancelled or amended, and no voucher or refund will be issued.
Which UK airports does Purple Parking cover?
Purple Parking covers a wide range of UK airports, including Heathrow, Gatwick, Manchester, Stansted, Luton, Birmingham, Bristol, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Leeds Bradford, Newcastle, and Belfast City, among others.
How much does Meet and Greet parking cost with Purple Parking?
When you pre-book, Meet and Greet parking is available from £43.50 per week. A driver collects your car at the terminal, so there's no shuttle or luggage trek involved. You can cancel for free via the Manage My Booking page right up until the day before your booking begins.
Does Purple Parking offer airport transfers?
Yes. Purple Parking offers worldwide airport transfers on selected routes, with one-way fares available from less than £5 per person. Free cancellation is available on transfers, and overseas transfer bookings can be amended online. Shuttle transfer amendments are not permitted within 48 hours of the journey time.
Is it cheaper to book Purple Parking in advance?
Yes, booking ahead makes a noticeable difference. Pre-booking your airport parking can save you significantly compared to gate prices, with rates starting from around £30 for seven days on selected options. Purple Parking recommends booking four to six weeks in advance to get the best available rates. Combining early booking with a purple parking discount code or the newsletter sign-up offer can reduce costs further.

Save Up to 15% by Signing Up to Purple Parking Emails
New subscribers to the Purple Parking newsletter receive an instant discount of up to 15% off their airport parking. Once you sign up, a verification email is sent with a button that applies the discount automatically. There's no complicated process involved.

Student, Graduate, and Healthcare Discounts: Up to 30% Off
Purple Parking offers some of the most generous verified discounts available for eligible groups. Here's what's on offer:
Up to 30% Off for Students and Graduates
If you're a current student or a recent graduate, you can access up to 30% off airport parking, airport hotels, and airport lounges. To unlock this, simply log in to your Student Beans or Grad Beans account and continue with your Purple Parking booking. The discount is applied automatically once your status is verified.
Up to 30% Off for Healthcare Workers
Healthcare professionals and NHS workers can also save up to 30% on UK airport parking, hotels, and lounges. Verification is handled through Beans ID, and once confirmed, the discount applies across the same range of services as the student offer. It's one of the better healthcare discounts available in the airport parking category, so it's well worth checking whether you qualify.
Flexible Booking Options: Flextras and Free Cancellation
One of Purple Parking's strongest features is its range of flexible booking tiers, which means you're not locked in if your travel plans change.
- Flextras bookings allow you to amend or cancel for free right up to your booked arrival time. No cancellation fees, no booking fees.
- Free Cancellation bookings can be cancelled up to two hours before your scheduled parking arrival, or by 1pm on the day of arrival for hotel bookings.
- If you cancel, you'll receive a voucher for the full value of your booking, valid for up to 18 months, which can be used on any future Holiday Extras booking including parking, hotels, lounges, and transfers.
- You can also request a cash refund within 14 days of the voucher being issued, useful if your plans change completely.
Note that Supersaver bookings cannot be amended or cancelled, so only choose that option if your dates are fixed.
Price Match Guarantee: Never Pay More Than You Need To
Purple Parking operates a "Never Beaten on Price" guarantee. If you find the exact same parking product provided by the same supplier at a lower price on another site within 24 hours of paying for your booking, they'll match it and refund the difference. To claim:
- Find the lower price at another retailer.
- Take a screenshot clearly showing the price, dates, and product.
- Contact the Purple Parking customer service team with your screenshot.
- They'll process the refund of the difference back to your original payment card.
This is particularly useful if you've spotted a cheaper airport parking discount elsewhere after booking. It means you don't have to cancel and rebook.
Bundle Deals: Hotel and Parking Packages
If you're travelling for five or more days, it's worth comparing the cost of booking an airport hotel and parking together as a package versus parking alone. Purple Parking offers hotel and parking bundles that can work out cheaper overall. In some cases, the hotel effectively comes at a significantly reduced rate when bundled with a longer parking stay. Pre-flight stays with parking included are available from £29, making this a practical option if you have an early morning departure.
Meet and Greet Parking: Convenience at a Competitive Price
Pre-booking Meet and Greet parking locks in rates from £43.50 per week. A driver collects your car at the terminal drop-off point and parks it for you, so there's no shuttle bus or long walk with luggage. You can cancel your Meet and Greet booking for free via the Manage My Booking page right up until the day before your booking starts, giving you flexibility without losing your spot.
Airport Transfers from Under £5 Per Person
Purple Parking also offers worldwide airport transfers on selected routes, with prices starting from under £5 per person one way. Free cancellation is available on airport transfers, making it a low-risk option to book in advance. If you're already booking parking or a hotel, it's worth pricing up a transfer at the same time to keep your travel costs in one place.
Seasonal Sales and the Best Times to Book
Purple Parking runs promotional activity throughout the year, with particularly strong offers around Black Friday, Christmas, and the summer travel season, typically from June through August. Booking four to six weeks ahead of your travel date is generally recommended to secure the best available rates. The booking system lists all options from lowest to highest price, so the cheapest option is always visible at the top of your results.
