It is the three-digit number printed in the signature space on the back of most credit cards, such as Visa, Mastercard, and Discover cards. The CVV2 number is always the last group of numbers in the signature space on the back of the card. It is not part of your regular credit card number.

If something happens and you have to return early, we must have sufficient notice. Please inform us as soon as you know that you will have to return early so that we can arrange for your car to be removed from our long term storage. Cars are parked in return date and time order and many cars may need to be moved to get to your vehicle. If sufficient notice is given there would not usually be any delay in getting your car back to you. If you do not give any notice then there could be a long wait which we cannot be held responsible for.

No refunds will be given for part used bookings / early returns.

For 3rd party bookings the individual companies policy will apply to early returns – which for the most part are very similar to ours.

For all Maple Parking branded products, if you return is delayed please keep us informed to avoid any delay in us delivering your vehicle.

Maple Parking do not inspect the contents of vehicles and do not therefore accept liability for the interior of vehicles or any personal belongings which are left within vehicles.

Prices are seasonal and therefore fluctuate throughout the year depending on demand and availability. In order to get our best prices we recommend that you book at least 3 weeks in advance of your trip. At peak travel times this is also necessary to ensure we have spaces available for your dates and times of travel. For Members our loyalty discounts apply year round regardless of which season you are travelling in.

If you leave your parking booking until last minute then the prices tend to be higher and availability cannot be guaranteed. Airline seats work in much the same way so you will get the best prices if you remember to book your airport parking when you book your flight!

At some airports we offer non-flexible products. These are great if you are 100% sure that you are going to travel. We cannot cancel or refund these products and a further saving is passed on to you. Our loyalty discounts still apply to our non-flexible products.
