1. Our outgoing trip was fine even though we struggled to find a parking space. The bus journey to the airport was on time with the bus driver been very helpful with a full bus.
2. The return journey was awful the driver was rude not helpful and dropped us off in the incorrect parking lot because he had to have his lunch after midnight
Rude obnoxious driver - I think he is in the wrong job working with weary travelers

Very convenient as close to the airport - just 5-10 minutes away from the terminals. As others have said, just be careful with your satnav directions as the postcode takes you to another car park as well. The car park itself is a reasonable size with many spaces. But that's all it is, a car park - don't expect to see any people or a reception/office. You just park up and hop on a bus. It's a regular and reliable bus service. However, another word of warning, make sure you get on the right bus coming back to the car park. The buses going to the different JetPark car parks are not clearly parked - and there is also a similar-sounding JetPark 1 Long-Stay. It can be confusing, especially for first-time users.

This is a very good service. Car park easy to find, NPR was working well both for entry and exit. The shuttle bus service is frequent and gives a quick delivery to and from the airport.
Very competitive price for 2 weeks parking.
We had a problem with a flat battery on return and the exit communication button was answered straight away so that the breakdown service could get to us in the car park.
My only gripe is the thick gravel in the parking slots. It was impossible to run a suitcase over this and we struggled to get the car out of its parking slot due to wheel spin over this gravel.

This was our first ever flight from EM Airport and was really looking forward to doing so. The journey to the airport travelling south on the M1 was the first problem caused ,as usual, by the incompetent Highways Agency. We were looking to exit at Junction 24 but missed it due to no sign indicating Junction 24 due to roadworks. We found ourselves travelling south on the A42 nearly reaching Ashby de la Zouch. Jet Parks 1 was eventually found by the back roads approaching from the opposite intended direction. Returning home the barrier at Jet Parks 1 refused to open when I approached . I reversed back and forth several times and still my car was not recognised. I eventually made contact for help and even they had difficulty raising the barrier for me to escape. This caused me a delay of 10 minutes and losing contact with other family members in the car which left the car park just before me. On commencing my journey on the A453 I soon encountered Road Closed signs and followed the diversion signs. They caused me unbelievable pressure as we were totally lost in the country roads of Leicestershire and Nottinghamshire before finding ourselves on the Nottingham ringroad. Eventually I found escape to the M1 junction 26 and proceeded north and home. My journey took 2 hours instead of the usual 1hour and an extra 35 miles. I would remind you that most of this disaster happened in the middle of the night in total darkness. My daughter, in the other car, ignored the diversion signs after all and experienced no problems. You can always depend on the overpaid and incompetent Highways Agency to cause travellers whatever inconvenience they can and they certainly succeeded on this occasion. Unfortunately these events will cause me to seriously reconsider using EM Airport again in the future.
