    If its been raining you better call them and check the car part aint flooded.
    I turned up on the morning of the 6th July to find a sign saying exactly that.
    I had made the booking some weeks back and they didn't even try to contact me:mad:
    So it was a bit of a panic to find somewhere else.

    PS.I noticed another place called Red-Cent,they are advertising £2.50 a day.

    Thanks for the tip, did you stay there in the end up?

    just rang them there now and booked and they told me its £40!! now for 2 weeks even though it still says £30 on their website, girl said price went up 2 weeks ago?

    Can anyone else who has parked there recently confirm this?

    is there anywhere better value or less hassle you would recommend?

    Cheers

    My sister left her saab convertible at a certain car park near BI and when she came back her fuel was well down and buttons she doesn't use had been pressed. Obviously someone had it out for a drive. Now she writes down the mileage and gets a worker to sign it.

    That's terrible! :mad: Why don't we name and shame the car park?:T

    As far as I know, easipark is a legally run business with all the proper council planning permissions. some of the other car parks are not. i notice one of the "newly established" companies fined £25,000 for operating without the proper approvals

    We are just back from holiday and were shocked that we had to pay £90:mad: for 14 nights in the long stay carpark. :eek: I cant believe how expensive it was - as last year I think we only paid about £28 for 7 nights!

    I wonder where we could park at the Belfast International in future....
    Unfortunately this has made our trip to Florida even more expensive!!
  • I pre paid £44 for 14 nights in Killead lodge. How ever when I arrived they told me that the carpark was flooded and I was sent back to Red Cent who were advertising £2.50 per day so that would have been £35 for the fortnight. Unfortunately when I came home to collect my car it had a nice dent in the door. Their manager told me it was up to me to prove that the dent had occoured in their carpark.

    Easi Park charge £5 if you park for just 1 day which is not made clear in their marketing/promotional material. Still think they offer good value but feel they should be more open and honest and say this upfront.

    There prices seemed to have changed slightly as it is up from £15 per week to £20 a week. So maybe they have introduced a minimum charge of £5 for first day

    I must admit that I tried to book easipark from last Thursday to Sunady and was told they were booked up. So I used Q park http://www.q-park-reservations.co.uk/index.asp?id1=WEB2185 instead, booked online and that cost me £6 per day which is still cheap compared to paying when you get there. I pre-paid £24 for 4 days online but if I had paid on exit from the carpark it would have cost me £38!!!!

    It says still £3 a day, so you only save £1 if you stay for a week, which is a 33% increase......inflation or what!

    I hope it doesn't go down the route, as they have in Dublin of only just being marginally cheaper than the main airport carparks, got us by the short and curlies again!...

    Although i just checked q- park and it is still £30 to stay the first week when booked online and £56 for 2 weeks compared to easipark which is £20 and £40 respectively.
