You'll receive a ticket that allows access to the shuttle bus to the airport; keep this to hand as you'll need to show the bus driver. It'll also explain the returns procedure for when you get back.

The overall experience was positive. However, two things were unhelpful . The car park is no longer called Q Park but is now named Purple Parking: caused a bit of confusion at 4.30 am when following the directions for the car park. Likewise, with the pick up outside Terminal One on our return , the bus arrived at a different location than the one we had been told. However, despite these issues everything went smoothly and reasonable efficiently.

Second time I have used Q Park and again, they are very slow at picking you up from the terminal. About 25 minutes this time.

It was very confusing that there was no "Q Parking" sign outside - it had been changed to Purple parking and we thought we were in the wrong place. Otherwise the service went well, thank you.
