About Euro Car Parks

Euro Car Parks Ltd manages parking at supermarkets, drive-thru restaurants, retail parks and leisure sites, enforcing terms with ANPR cameras.

Its sites often have short free periods, so charges are commonly issued for stays only slightly over the limit or for returning to the same car park too soon.

How Euro Car Parks operates

ANPR cameras record entry and exit at each site.
Short free maximum stay periods are enforced automatically.
PCNs are issued to the registered keeper by post.
As a BPA member, rejected appeals can be escalated to POPLA.
Receipts and order confirmations prove legitimate use.

Common reasons they issue charges

• Staying beyond a short free period at a fast food outlet
• Using the car park without making a purchase
• Registration not entered at the in-store terminal
• No-return period breached on the same day

PCN process: what to expect

1. PCN Issued
A Parking Charge Notice is issued to the registered keeper, usually with a discounted amount for early payment.
2. Reminder Notices
If unpaid and unappealed, reminder letters follow and the discount is withdrawn.
3. Debt Recovery
The case may be passed to a debt recovery agent, who often add their own fees.
4. Legal Action
As a last step a County Court claim can be issued. It can still be defended on the merits.

Top tips

• Short free periods must still allow a consideration period to enter, read the terms, park and leave — though the Code's end-of-stay grace period does not apply where permitted parking is 30 minutes or less.
• Keep app or drive-thru order confirmations — they timestamp your visit.
