Nellie Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 2 hours ago, Amadeus said: Mychreests and Athol are significantly cheaper, depend in exactly how long you want to park for. You get a free wash, or can upgrade to a valet, plus someone is taking responsibility for caring for your vehicle. It's been a no-brainer for me, and around twelve years since I paid DoI a penny. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the airport parking charges increase, it may be that the competitors respond after a certain period. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excellent, I could do with a wash, fuck the car valet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why did you have to advertise this.? I have been doing the same for years. Now everyone will want to avail themselves of these services. As you say, cheaper, no arsing around with apps and parking close to the entrance. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have so little commercial awareness that they think they have a captive market. They haven't realised that there is competition from taxis, buses, other parking providers, Sefton Express and if they get too greedy, revenue could actually drop. I would be amusing if that happened, for sure, although we'll probably never find out. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Used the bus the last few times. £2.70 each way instead of increasingly unjustifiable charges at the airport car park. No brainer. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of *course* it’s Jeff Robinson’s idea. The really surprising thing is how stupid they are. When it’s £50 max for a taxi from most places in the IOM who do they think is going to pay £120 to to use the long stay car park? I’d guess the carpark is just going to get emptier and hopefully all it does is give more business to the taxi firms or Athol Garage rather than these greedy fuckers. The fact that Robinson signed this off says it all the man is an absolute muppet. Edited April 13, 2023 by BriT 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
