So presumably car was stolen, effectively (taking without owner's consent, or whatever), and thus uninsured etc. Yet Sussex Police seems to think it's the owner's fault for not reading a 'review site' before booking? :-s

Not sure they are in B&H's taxi/PH trades good books now anyway, so no big shocks here.

As for the punter, that price is too cheap, and when things look too good to be true, 99 times out of 100 they are.

If official airport parking wasn't so exorbitant, these scammers wouldn't exist.

I booked my Christmas parking on black Friday and got a 40% discount so for 9 days it was a bit over £50.00 to park in the nearest car park to the terminal.

Whilst I rather dislike the crazy prices for airport parking, it does lead to us getting more airport runs.

Got one the other day. Parking at Gatwick for 10 days was more expensive (not by much) than a return taxi/PH fare.
