The car park on Motherby Lane - Lincoln

The car park on Motherby Lane in Lincoln is probably the worst car park I’ve ever used. The layout of the spaces is extremely poor, and I was unable to get my car out after another vehicle parked opposite me, meaning I had to wait for the other driver to return.

That said, the customer service was excellent. They were very helpful and understanding when dealing with the overpayment caused by the extra time I had to wait before I could leave.

So, although the car park itself needs serious improvement, the customer service definitely deserves credit.

£44 for 40 mins in a car park - disgusting company!

Dropping family at Birmingham Airport. First 10 mins is free, but caught in a queue getting baggage dropped off (despite being more than 2.5 hours early for the flight). Returned as quickly as I could and got charged £44 for apparently 40 mins. Sorry, but no excuse for surcharging customers for the airport’s failure to do its job quickly and efficiently. No “competition” for drop off, so this is monopoly pricing devised between Birmingham International and NCP to screw the rest of us over. Disgusting and immoral. Exactly the sort of business to AVOID!

As the barrier didn't accept my QR code, I had to take a ticket and then contact customer services. They started the session on the App and reset the code for me.
Unfortunately, when trying to exit the car park my QR code still wasn't recognised so I had to buzz through to customer services. This whole thing makes me wonder why I bother parking there.
