Booked East midlands short stay 3. Had to change car reg at last minute. FHR dealt with it immediately and efficiently. Great service again as I have had issues with parking before and they have come through with customer friendly solutions. Pulled up to the barrier with plate recognition in and out. No tickets, keep your keys. Could not be easier. Short stroll to terminal building both ways.

The FHR booking system and communications were very good. Proximity to the airport was as expected. The price was good too but the car park was not great. Spaces are smallish, signposting is not great - we drove down a row into a dead end and had to reverse back, signposting for pedestrians was poor, lighting was not great and we arrived back to rain at nighttime and had to contend with lots of puddles across the uneven car park surface.

No trouble with parking the car once the actual car park was located. In the early hours signposting of the Short Stay 3 car park left much to be desired. Once found entry and exit was easy and straghtforward. FHR had done their part of the work well.

First class! We were very late back due to being flown back to Leeds then bussed to East Midlands. A real pain but then drove up to the barrier and no problem whatsoever. I’d certainly use this parking service again!
