Airport parking is one of those necessary but joyless tasks, like renewing your passport or deciding whether to risk the complimentary tap water at a motorway service station. You have to deal with it, but you don’t have to enjoy it. You certainly don’t need to overpay for it. Which brings us to ParkBCP.co.uk - a long-running, occasionally over-enthusiastic airport parking site with more deals than design flair. It’s not slick, but it mostly works. And most importantly, it can save you money.
ParkBCP isn’t trying to reinvent the wheel. It is trying to help you leave your car somewhere vaguely secure while you fly to Tenerife. The interface is functional, in the polite Victorian sense of the word. You select your airport, your dates, and whether you want your car to be waiting obediently at the terminal or parked half a mile away behind a fence with a shuttle bus that may or may not be listening to Smooth FM. Then you book it. That’s pretty much it.
The site covers virtually every UK airport you’ve heard of - plus several you might need to Google to confirm exist. Teesside International, for instance, is real. As is Doncaster-Sheffield Robin Hood, which sounds like a theme park and was, until recently, actually operational. Even ports get a look in, though ParkBCP is clearly more comfortable dealing with planes than ferries.
There’s a steady stream of vaguely optimistic slogans ("save up to 60%," "a better start to your trip," "the most car parks") but behind the copywriting caffeine, some of the deals are genuinely solid. Airport hotels with parking from £59 including eight days’ parking? Not bad - especially if you're flying early and enjoy the peculiar thrill of a lukewarm buffet breakfast at 5:30am.
Better still, the price match promise feels less like a gimmick and more like something they’ve actually honoured. One user quoted on the site said they got a refund, which is the customer service equivalent of seeing a unicorn ride the Heathrow Express. And with over 100 car parks and 30+ years of experience, BCP isn’t new to this. They’ve been at it since 1978, which for a tech-adjacent business, is practically Jurassic.
The booking process is - mercifully - four steps, and the site doesn’t try to upsell you yoga mats or travel pillows midway through. After you plug in your flight and dates, you'll see a mix of options: on-airport, off-airport, meet and greet. There’s even a filter for airport hotels with parking, useful for early flights or if you just really fancy staying at a Premier Inn next to a runway. Prices can be quite reasonable, though as with all such services, "up to 60% off" depends a lot on how last-minute and disorganised you usually are.
The discount codes and offers exist but don’t expect a glitzy reveal. Sometimes there’s no need to click through 46 popup voucher sites when the deal is sitting there in plain English. That's quietly refreshing. Signup is encouraged for "exclusive offers," though don’t expect the kind of exclusivity that involves velvet ropes or champagne. It’s more "£4 off at Luton," which, depending on your priorities, might be just as welcome.
ParkBCP has its flaws. The interface won’t win any design awards, and the tone veers occasionally into late-90s catalogue optimism. You may have to do a little mental arithmetic to figure out which deal is actually the best, particularly when two different car parks are both selling "premium" but one’s next to Terminal 5 and the other’s adjacent to a cow field.
Still, for a site that promises "a better choice," it mostly delivers. You probably won’t rave about your parking experience to friends. But you also won’t have to mortgage your flat to park for a week at Heathrow. And sometimes, that’s all you really need.
No, ParkBCP isn’t fancy. But it’s competent, reliable, and occasionally surprising - like discovering your trusted plumber also moonlights as a jazz pianist. If saving on airport parking helps you feel marginally less irritated when your flight is delayed three hours, it’s probably worth it. Just don’t expect the process to be exciting. It’s airport parking, after all.
