Swift Park TERMS AND CONDITIONS

You should read these terms carefully as they contain important information regarding your legally binding contract with us.

1. Once you have booked and we have received payment for that Booking, you are entitled to park the designated vehicle in our car park. The parking of your vehicle will be subject to these Conditions of Parking.

2. You must park your own Vehicle and retain your keys. Parking is at your own risk. We cannot park your Vehicle for you, nor look after your keys.

3. Unless specifically requested to do so by us or our employees, servants or agents you should not under any circumstances:-

park in a no parking area
park on a double yellow line
park other than in a designated parking bay
park in a disabled bay without displaying the required ticket
park across two parking bays
park in a space that is marked as “reserved” without authorisation

4. All Vehicles must be locked. We cannot assist you in gaining access to a locked Vehicle if you do not have the keys. Tariffs continue to be charged until the Vehicle is removed.

5. All tariffs (which include VAT) are on a per day basis (00:01 – 23:59). E.g. Saturday – Saturday will be 8 days. If your return is delayed, you may incur extra charges. No refund will be made for unused days.

6. We recommend that you tell one of our staff, when you arrive at the Car Park, if you intend to leave your Vehicle in the Car Park for longer than 28 days or your plans change so that you would be so parked. Unless you tell us this, or you have pre-booked for longer than 28 days we will be entitled to assume that your Vehicle has been abandoned. Abandoned Vehicles may be disposed of and we will recover the cost thereof from you.

7. We reserve the right to change our tariffs at any time and to withdraw any special rate. This will not affect any reservation made before the change. The applicable tariff will be shown on your booking confirmation.

8. We only accept Bookings for cars and light vans. You are not entitled to a refund if your Vehicle exceeds the size limits we impose. Please contact us if you wish to check whether your Vehicle will be accepted.

9. When you book you may be required to specify the make, type, and registration number of the Vehicle to which the Booking relates. You may change these details at any time before you arrive at the Car Park, at no charge, by contacting us.

10. All parking charges must be paid in full before your Vehicle can be removed from our car park. We shall have the right to retain a Vehicle until such time as all sums due are paid. We will not accept unsupported cheques.

11. Making a booking creates a legal agreement between you and us; if you wish to cancel a booking you can do so at any time. Please be aware that we do not offer any refunds for bookings that are cancelled, unless you are protected by our Cancellation Cover. Failure to purchase Cancellation Cover means that no refund is given regardless of the notice period given or reason for cancellation.

Cancellation Cover entitles customers to a full credit note refund regardless of the time of cancellation.
Credit Notes can only be used at our sites at Glasgow Airport and to the value of the original booking fee.
Credit Notes are for the value of the original booking fee and part thereof.

12. Our Car Parks have disabled spaces for use by blue badge holders, but unfortunately we cannot accept bookings specifically for disabled spaces. If you have any particular requirements, please contact a member of staff on arrival.

Should you damage another Vehicle or any part of a Car Park you must report the matter immediately to a member of our staff and give him or her the registration numbers of both Vehicles together with your full name and address and the name and address of your insurance company together with your policy number. In doing so, for the purposes of the Data Protection Act 1998 and any other relevant law you are consenting to our passing this information on to the owner or driver of any other Vehicle involved.

15. We cannot guarantee the security of our Car Parks as members of the public have access to them at all times. We do not guarantee to you that security measures that we have in place, for example CCTV or patrols, will be working at all times or, even if they are working that they will be effective in preventing loss, damage, or theft or in identifying who might be to blame.
