APCOA to run World's Largest Platform for Car Park Pre-booking

LONDON, January 19, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- APCOA has undertaken a five year contract to provide London Gatwick Airport with a fully managed pre-booking, yield management and call centre service. Gatwick is the world's largest airport for car park pre-booking.

The new booking engine is a clear five-step process which is now available at http://www.gatwickairport.com/parking. The website allows the customer to select and book a car parking space in less than two minutes. It supports customers whose needs change by allowing amendments and cancellations up to 24 hours in advance. The system is fully integrated with the existing car park equipment also operated by APCOA, allowing pre-booked customers a seamless entry and exit from the car park.

The system is also qualified to stimulate additional and new revenues through the cross-sell of other products. Chris Pullen, Managing Director of APCOA UK: "The APCOA solution can enable any airport in the world to pre-book their parking and associated commercial offerings in a cost-effective and profitable way."

Notes for the editor:

APCOA is Europe's longest-established full-service parking services contractor. Other airport clients in UK include BAA (Heathrow and Aberdeen), Gatwick, Luton and Exeter. APCOA group is operating the parking facilities of 30 airports all over Europe.
