Can anyone help as I am very upset about the parking charges we have just been issued with. We parked at Robin Hood on site parking, we pre paid with Holiday Extras. On our return we had a parking charge notice attatched to our car. It states that we were parked in the car hire section and we must pay this with in 42 days or be taken to court. The area we parked in was part of the airport parking and we didn`t see any signs stating this.
The company issueing it are Passenge Transport Solutions, has anyone heard of them. I have a chance to appeal but it must be within 7 days but I still have to pay or they won`t consider it.
Is this common at airports, I thought that we would have to go through a seperate barrier to go on to someone elses land. I am also annoyed as the signs to the parking from the airport appoach road were telling you to enter the car park at the barrier nearest to the area we parked in.
I can only speak for Manchester and Blackpool Airports, but there are designated areas of those car parks for hire car companies and you can't use those spaces, even though they are part of the general car park. The areas are clearly marked though. Would it be worth going to the airport and checking to see if the area where you parked it clearly labeled for 'hire cars only' and collectibe photographic evidence? That may help your case or confirm what you've been told.

Thanks for replying Darren. I thought about revisiting the airport but not able to at the moment and won`t be able to for a few weeks. I have tried to phone the airport for them to confirm the area in which car hire parking is allocated. 0871 220 2210 is the number I have tried but car parking puts you through to a booking agent based elsewhere, I need an extention number to actually speak to someone in the airport. I am really cross that this has happened to us as we have parked at Robin Hood three times now and have had no problems. The car park was really full when we arrived and we were only the forth flight flying out that day. Other wise we would have parked in the same area we had parked in before. I am sure there were no signs but to be honest would have never have thought that there would have been an area not to park in.
