4. Tickets
4.1 When you book car parking via the Website you will be given a unique booking reference number (“Booking Reference”) via email.
4.2 The booking you make is non-transferable either from you to someone else or between different Car Parks.
4.3 The booking you make is valid only for the times, dates, price, Car Park, specified in your booking. 4.4 Car parks are priced per 24 hour period or part thereof. Prices are subject to change and quotes provided are valid at the time of booking only.
4.5 The number of “days” (24 hour periods) charged for when you pre- book is calculated on the basis of the times you select when making your booking. However, if your actual entry and exit time changes from that specified in your booking and as a result your actual time in the Car Park runs into another 24 hour period over and above that booked, you will be liable for an additional day’s charge at the drive- up tariff as displayed on the tariff board at the Car Park, and this amount must be settled before you leave the Car Park. The duration of the Vehicle’s stay within the Car Park will in such circumstances be finally determined by us. The terms of this paragraph 4.5 apply irrespective of the reason why you are late back into the Car Park unless your delayed return is caused directly by our negligence.
4.6 When you enter and exit the Car Park, it is imperative that you follow the instructions you have been issued with in your booking confirmation. Please be aware that some Car Parks use a number plate recognition service and as such if your number plate is not recognized or is not consistent with the number plate for which you have booked, you may not be allowed in.
4.7 If you are issued with a car parking ticket on entry to the Car Park, please retain this in a safe place as you may need it to exit. On exit please follow the instructions issued to you at the time of booking.
4.8 Should you wish to cancel or amend your booking or part of it you may do so via the Website or Customer Services.

4.10 All cancellations made less than 24 hours before your scheduled entry time and date shall be subject to a minimum administration charge of £2.50.
4.11 Where a change is required by you for a reduction in the number of days of your Car Park booking then, we must receive notice of your change to your booking at least 24 hours before the Car Park entry time and date specified in your booking. If you do not give the required advance notice as stated, no refund will be given or if the change requires additional parking days to those indicated in your booking you will have to pay the full daily rate from time to time of the relevant Car Park.
4.12 No retrospective refunds will be made after the Car Park entry time and date of your booking (as detailed on your booking confirmation) if you have not followed the cancellation and/or changes to booking procedures set out in these Pre-Booking Terms and Conditions.
