Warning issued as rogue third-party parking operators damaging and joy-riding cars at Leeds Bradford Airport
No legitimate providers operate from Leeds Bradford Airport’s free one-hour zone
Leeds Bradford Airport has issued a warning to flyers about rogue third-party parking operators.
The Yeadon-based airport reports that it has recently been receiving an increased number of reports of rogue third-party parking operators selling 'Meet & Greet' products, operating from the free one-hour zone at Leeds Bradford Airport.
They have have received serious, upsetting reports from customers of these services, including:
- Damage to vehicles
- Excessive mileage on vehicles
- Delays or failure to return cars
- Customers being asked to drive to remote warehouse facilities and/or use taxis between warehouses and the airport
- Additional penalty charges
- Unauthorised use while vehicles are in their care
- Vehicles being driven without appropriate, or in some cases any, insurance
These are unlicensed, third-party services and are not affiliated with LBA in any way, as no legitimate providers operate from the airport’s free one-hour zone and their operation is illegal.
Passengers are warned to take care to research and choose trusted parking providers before handing over their vehicle, and if you believe you have been affected by these services, you should report the matter to Trading Standards and West Yorkshire Police.
