# Airport Parking Shop

> Independent UK airport parking comparison site, running since 2003. One quote compares pre-book prices from eight UK parking providers (APH, BCP, Essential Travel, FHR, Holiday Extras, Park and Go, Purple Parking and SkyParkSecure) for more than 500 car parks at 29 UK and Irish airports plus the Port of Dover. Every car park page carries a daily-updated guide price, arrival information and verified-customer reviews.

## How prices work

- The per-day "from" price on airport and car park pages is a guide price: the lowest 7-day parking price recorded for that car park in the past week, divided by 7. It is refreshed daily from our own quote data.
- The same figure is published as schema.org JSON-LD on every airport and car park page (Product > AggregateOffer > UnitPriceSpecification, referenceQuantity 1 DAY, eligibleQuantity 7 DAY, currency GBP).
- Live prices depend on the exact dates and come from a quote: use the quote form on any airport page, or a quote link (see below). There is no public price API.
- Car parks charge per whole or part day from midnight, whatever the arrival time. Pre-booking is normally far cheaper than the "drive-up" price paid on the day.
- Lowest Price Guarantee: if the same car park is cheaper on another UK airport parking site on the same day for the same dates, we refund the difference (see terms below).

## Price data (JSON)

- [Price feed index](https://www.airport-parking-shop.co.uk/data/prices/index.json): every location with its feed URL, car park count and lowest guide price. Refreshed daily; ETag and Last-Modified supported.
- [Example: Gatwick](https://www.airport-parking-shop.co.uk/data/prices/gatwick.json): every car park at the location with the lowest and average 7-day guide price over the past week, the per-day figure, sample count, parking types, rating and review count. Other locations: `/data/prices/{slug}.json`, slugs listed in the index (e.g. heathrow, manchester, belfast-city, dover).

## Quote links (live prices, one click)

- Template: https://www.airport-parking-shop.co.uk/quote/?airport={IATA}&arrival={YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM}&return={YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM}
- airport = the three-letter IATA code from the Airports list below (LGW, LHR, MAN, STN, LTN, BHX, EDI, GLA, BRS, DUB ...). arrival and return accept YYYY-MM-DD or YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM; a date alone means 12:00 drop-off and 13:00 pick-up. Drop-off must be at least an hour ahead and pick-up at least an hour after drop-off.
- The link opens a page that shows the search and a single "Get prices" button. That click runs a live comparison across the eight providers and shows every car park with prices for those dates. Nothing is booked at that step, and loading the link itself creates no search.
- Example: https://www.airport-parking-shop.co.uk/quote/?airport=LGW&arrival=2027-06-12T09:00&return=2027-06-19T17:00

## Quote API (live prices for agents)

- [Quote API guide](https://www.airport-parking-shop.co.uk/data/quote-api.txt): POST /api/quote/ with airport (IATA), arrival and return (ISO 8601) to start a live search across the eight providers, then GET /api/quote/{quid}/ every 2 seconds until status is complete. Returns every car park with total prices for the stay, gate prices, ratings and a booking URL. No key; 10 new quotes per minute per IP. Send people to results_url to book.

## How reviews work

- Reviews are only invited from customers who booked through Airport Parking Shop, after they return from their trip, and are moderated under the review policy.
- Star ratings are shown out of 5. Each car park has its own review page (URLs end in `-review.html`), and the aggregate rating is also in the page's JSON-LD.
