Quick and easy to book. A reliable service which generally departs on time. We were at the ground in plenty of time before the game. Parking close to the away turnstiles is always a bonus.

Excellent - 5 Stars

Excellent company - always reliable and offer great service. The parking opportunities are limited around the CBS Arena, but these guys offer great sites, well marshalled and reasonable distances from the ground. Would definitely recommend. Any interactions have always been polite and friendly. 5 stars.

Cancelled at the 11th hour.. no refund..yet

We booked parking for the Manchester United Vs Southampton game.

It was cancelled at 10am on matchday, due to unforeseen circumstances!

I am still waiting for my refund and will be putting the charge into dispute with my credit card provider.

On the positive side we found a car park closer to the ground at at £5, half the price of this lot, cheers!

Hi Hugh,

We've requested some more information from you so we can follow up.

I'm sorry felt the need to leave a one-star review instead of contacting us directly for a quick resolution.

As soon as you provide the requested information I can check to see if the refund has been actioned for you.

Could of been clearer with parking address.

I've only given 4 stars because when I booked for Bristol City it didn't give me the full address of the parking at the university.

Parked through this company at West Brom game At Mercure hotel. Paid 10 quid. Roadworks at exit meant we took an hour to get out. Then got fined 60 quid. Appealed but I wonder how many get stitched up. Even without roadworks this car park is difficult to exit for a game as it is in a cul de sac which gets full.

Thank you for your feedback, and we’re sorry to hear about your experience parking at the Mercure Hotel for the West Brom game.

We aim to provide a smooth and convenient service for all customers, but we understand how frustrating delays caused by roadworks or high traffic volumes can be, particularly on match days. Unfortunately, external factors like temporary roadworks are beyond our control.

Regarding the penalty charge, we’re more than happy to assist you in following up on your appeal. Please reach out to our customer service team with your parking details, and we’ll do everything we can to support you.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention, and we hope to provide you with a better experience in the future. Should you have any further concerns or questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us.

Best regards,
The BigParking Team

Turned me away with wheelchair van to access a disabled space near my church. Had to take my disabled passenger much further away. Arrived at my destination to find able bodied people being allowed in to park. "My supervisor has just said we're allowed to let people in for church now". Nice one. Not. Unapologetic and giving the same "explanation " over and over again.

Hi, Not entirely keen on the implication we were allowing able-bodied people to park and not others.

Your review is not a fair reflection of the fact that when you first arrived - the road was closed and when you returned later it was not.

I'm sorry you were inconvenienced.

Easy to find

Easy to find. Plenty of space and no queue to get out. On M4 within a few minutes. Only reason not 5 stars is that it would be good if it opened 4 hours before kick off rather than 3.
