Follow these six simple tips to help you get airport parking peace of mind:

Look for the telltale signs of a suspect company, such as a poor website, no landline and no trading address.
See what other customers say by choosing a company that publishes independent reviews of its service.
Check for extra costs that bump up the price you pay, such as booking fees, airport access and transfers.
Only book with a company that displays the Park Mark logo, which means their car park has been police assessed and is properly maintained and secure.
Know where your car is kept. Ask for the car park address and then take a look on Google Maps.
To leave your car in the safest hands, always book with a member of the Independent Airport Parking Association.
