Parking FAQs
Can I alter my booking details after I have entered the carpark?
No, bookings cannot be altered once you have entered the carpark.
What do I do if my plans change, and I will need to have my car parked for longer than my original booking?
Nothing, Scan your original QR code on exit and the system will prompt you to pay the difference between your original booking and your extended stay.
My flight has been delayed, can I exit the carpark with my QR code and come back later in the day with the same QR code?

My plans changed and I came back earlier than expected - can I get a reimbursement for the booking time not used?
