changing airport parking booking

[davehsug]

Hi there. We've recently had the time of the returm flight changed by the travel company by 2 hours. I'd already booked the parking, allowing a reasonable time to get back. I know, in hindsight I should have allowed many more hours, but It's not a mistake I'll make again.

I only just thought about the parking, & when I tried to change the booking. I was quoted an extra £25.00 for the 2 hours.

We don't go into a different day. Anybody have any thoughts on what's likely to happen if I just leave things as they are? Will they deny us exit from the park & charge?

That seems steep - it is about half the total cost that I pay for a week!

 

Who have you booked the parking through? Can it be cancelled and rebooked?

I can't believe an airport parking company doesn't have contingency plans for flights being delayed, and if they sting every flight that is delayed a couple of hours for 25quid a pop, then that is blantant ripping off of customers.

Thanks for the replies. I thought about cancelling & rebooking, but the cost is £7.50 & then the price for booking again is now £45.00, it was initially £20.00, which is why I booked early. It's at Manchester Jetparks3, which as far as I can tell is owned by the airport. Looking at the rules, it says they charge any overstays direct to your debit card.

Actually got through to a human today & it looks like I might have been worrying for nothing. The guy I spoke to said that the website will often try to charge you the whole new price, but that they gave a few hours grace anyway for delays & the like, which only seems fair I suppose. thanks for the help.
