Does pre-payment guarantee my parking space? |
|
|
|
Pre-payment for your parking frees you from the hassle of paying for your parking on arrival at the hotel. Pre-payment does not guarantee your space, but each car park has been carefully assessed to ensure we can meet demand for pre-paid parking and it is very unlikely space will not be available for your vehicle when you arrive. |

Can I cancel or amend my car parking booking if my travel plans change? |

You can cancel or amend your car parking booking provided you do so 24 hours prior to your date of entry into the car park specified on the Booking form. You can cancel or make changes to your parking booking by visiting the website https://portsmouth.apcoa.co.uk and clicking the link to ‘Manage my parking booking’. There is also no charge for amending your booking if you are changing the dates. However if you are amending the length of stay for a longer period, then there may be additional charges. These will be highlighted during the amendment process. If you are amending your booking to stay for a shorter period, you may be entitled to a refund.

How are parking charges calculated? |
|
|
|
Car parks are priced per 24-hour period or part thereof. The number of 'days' (24-hour periods) charged is calculated on the basis of the times you select when making your booking. However, if your actual entry and exit time changes, and as a result your actual time in the car park runs into an ‘day’, you will be liable for an additional day's charge at the drive-up tariff. All prices shown are in pounds sterling and include VAT at the prevailing rate. |

Why can't I get a quote for the car park I'm looking for? |
|
|
|
The most likely explanation is that the pre-book space availability for this car park has been filled. In most circumstances, we will still be able to accommodate you if you just turn up. Please note that if you can’t pre-book the car park for the dates you would like and you just turn up at the Car Park, you will be required to pay using the pay & display machine on site. If you are unsure, please telephone 0239 287 3378. |
