How to claim your refund

Overview of Parking Refund Policies

Refunds for parking charges at Liverpool Airport are subject to specific conditions. It is important to follow airport signage and guidelines to avoid unnecessary charges. External factors, such as navigation errors or misunderstandings about Blue Badge eligibility, do not automatically qualify for refunds.

Blue Badge Parking Refund Policy (Part of Liverpool Airport's broader parking refund policies)

To apply for a refund, please contact our Customer Services team within 28 days of your visit via: The Express Drop-Off Car Park is located directly opposite the terminal and is within a 5-minute walk, ensuring quick and easy access.

Refunds are processed back to the original payment method used for the transaction, ensuring a secure and straightforward process.

Refunds for Navigation Errors

If you incur a charge after driving through the Short Stay car park without stopping or parking, a refund is not automatically granted. Here are the key points to consider:

  • Charges apply as soon as a vehicle enters the Short Stay car park.

  • Refunds require verifiable evidence that the facility was not used for pick-up, drop-off, waiting, or parking.

  • Navigation tools, such as sat navs, may direct you incorrectly, but airport signage should always take precedence. Without sufficient evidence to confirm that the car park was not used, the charge will remain valid.

What you'll need to include

To process your refund, please provide:

  • A copy of your Blue Badge

  • A copy of your boarding pass (must match the Blue Badge holder's name)

  • Your vehicle registration (to verify car park entry/exit times)

  • Proof of payment:

    • If you paid by card: include the first 6 and last 4 digits of the card used.

  • If you paid using Apple Pay or Google Pay, provide the unique 4-digit device account number or token associated with the transaction, which can be found in your wallet app.

  • Refunds are processed using payment identifiers, and you do not need to provide sensitive bank or account details.

  • The name on the boarding pass must match the name on the Blue Badge.

  • Refunds are only issued if the vehicle was parked in the Express Car Park and the stay was 40 minutes or less.- Refunds for payments made using other methods, such as credit or debit cards, are identified using your vehicle registration number.- The Short Stay and Multi-storey car parks are not eligible for Blue Badge refunds.
