Ms Serrado - ★★★★★
I'd always had a fear of parking at Heathrow Airport and handing the keys to my 'pride & joy' over to someone I don't know was a frightening prospect. With Purple parking, I need not have worried. Very easy process to follow, very quick drop off and pick up and the staff were absolutely brilliant and you could not get closer to the terminal. Highly recommended!
Mr Field - ★★★★★
As always an excellent service!
Mr Ellis - ★★★★★
Happy with the service provided.
Mr Smithson - ★★★★★
Really excellent service, and would happily recommend purple parking

Brilliant, probably closer and quicker than the official terminal 5 parking (the organ branding). Outside the ULEZ zone, staff are really polite.
Oh and the price was a quarter of the official parking price.
