Alliance Parking UK Reviews 

WARNING!!! Alliance Parking charge you from the time you enter to the time you leave using ANPR. They have ZERO tolerance for time taken to find a space or queing to purchase a ticket. Following a few days visit to Looe, I recieved 3 x £100 parking fines in the post for the reasons above. The appeals process is useless, they reject despite evidence of tickets purchased.

MoneySavingExpert and other sites have plenty of information on how ruthless this company is. I wish I'd known before using this car park. Be warned!

Drove into the car park at Harlem beach, parked and went to find the machine. Paid & displayed for two hours and was back at the car in time. Didn’t realise they started the parking from minute you entered until you leave! We are pensioners so it took time getting all the beach stuff out and back in the car. Have received a penalty notice for overstaying! Never had this before. Daylight robbery.

Drove in to pick some keys up from my daughter who was parked there. Stayed 12 minutes fined £60 reduced from £100. I will never go near there again or use any of the traders who have their business in the car park. Absolutely shocking practice. And you wonder why people holiday abroad.

Common Theft. Do not enter an alliance car park !!

Over stayed by 1 minute at Harlyn bay, unable to exit car park due to blocked road. Appealed... which was declined. Evidence they provided was incomplete and inaccurate. Paid fine to avoid further action, but will be pursuing legal claim with Alliance and Harlyn Estates (land owner)

East Looe Bullers Quay/Harbour carpark

Please be aware of NEW ANPR at this carpark (21/7/25) and read the new T&C as they do not appear online and are only on show once you enter. Alliance Parking also have their own T&C which I'd advise to read to avoid £100 fine. Local who avoids any carpark with Alliance Parking.

In a nutshell be aware they have a NO grace policy if you don't find a space but implement a 50p for the first 30 min charge You may get a fine. We have yet to see how they will implement this but given they don't follow their own professional standards on visible ID I'd expect some to appear in the post soon.

Parked at Polzeath Beach, did unfortunantly go 6 min over getting out of car park, but that's worth an extra £60 to these CROOKS!

Disgusting practice of fines despite payment evidence. They reject any proof of payment saying they don't record the Reg number. If wind blows your ticket off the dashboard (which is likely given the location of many of their car parks) they will fine you and you will not be able to prove you paid. You have no chance to appeal. Absolute crooks and they know what they are doing!!!

Typical arrogant statement on the company details stating that people only complain when disgruntled. Of course they are unhappy with the 'bully boy' attitude adopted by most car park enforcers and Alliance fit that description.

please dont go this car park because they dont care customer and they fine you to ticket display if parking ticket fault without print out display ticket after you done pay ticket ... I feeling this company Disability Discrimination cos this company against Equality Act 2010 because I am deaf cos I cant phone this number ...

I have evidence to proof cos show them already pay ticket and I did explain note on Dash to explain I am deaf cos I cant phone parking company cos Alliance Parking UK ltd reject my appeal......

I feel they threat me to force me to pay fine because they threat me court cos I am deaf and struggle cos they say I will be criminal conviction and credit conviction .... cos it effect me my mortgage, bank loan also effect me my job career because Criminal conviction!!!!

Kafkaesque situation. Though I'd paid for parking in Porthtowan in Cornwall, and could prove it, I was fined for not displaying the ticket based it appears on no concrete evidence from them. The photo Alliance provided appears to show a ticket on the dashboard, but despite this and the evidence of payment, they declined my appeal with no further evidence - just their word against mind. Even if ticket was not seen by the warden surely the evidence of payment should be accepted. What a truly awful company. The council should use one of the more credible app offers such as Ringo and remove such a unpleasant company from its operations.

Damer Bay, Cornwall. Intention was a quick meet with family before moving on somewhere else. Option was to buy 1hr or 3hrs, I knew 1hr may be pushing it a bit but new 3hrs was way over the top. The abscence of the possibility of buying 2hrs forces you into risking it for 1hr or overpaying for 3hrs. I opted for the 1hrs, on my departure after roaming the carpark trying to find bins which were non-existant and huridly walking back from the toilets which were out of order I gingerly headed over the rough, pot hole ridden, uneven "car park" scraping the under of my car multiple time before actually managing to exit. When including the initial faff of trying to download the app in all I was 30mins over my 1hr stay and opted for the £60 early payment option. In my opinion this "fine" call it what you like because thats what it is at the end of the day is not propotionate to the charge especially when there isn't even a 2 hr option. - Disgusted. Considered fighting it but just don't have the energy.

Just look at the hundreds of reviews on Trustpilot and TripAdviser....consistently 1star, but that's because 0stars does not exist. Those reviews tell you all you need to know about this company...nothing more needs to be said.

Avoid public parking in UK where this company operates,paid for two hours,overstayed by 10/15 minutes. Got a fine 120 pounds or 60 if pay immediately, also 50 pound from from car rental company. Unreasonable trying to deal with them.

Same story as others. Paid for parking but put in wrong registration. Made an appeal showing payment details and they didn’t even respond. Next thing we know we are being chased by debt collectors. Do not park in any area they control.

Do not park at Trevone or Harlyn. They will use any slight excuse to fine you £100. If the queue is long and you go over ten minutes to get your ticket you’ll be fined. If you use the app they limit you to half an hour or 2 hours - there’s no 1 hour option and two hours is much more expensive. Even when the machine is broken they fine you.

The only way to fight back is to not go there. Go to other beaches and park in other car parks.
I wish I could give a minus score review.

Two cars parking in Hayle at 09.56. We tried to pay, but the app rejected our payments. Both cars had disabled badges and occupants. I phoned the 0330 number advertised on the notice board and left a message on option 5. I then phoned the back up number starting 028 at 09.58. and the call was cut off. Alliance text 5 mins later at 10.06 to say find alternative parking. By this time, we had walked away to our destination. My aunt, being 82, with real difficulty walking. The other disability person, having poor breathing conditions. On getting to our destination, I phoned the 0330 again, using option 3. “Simon” answered the call. I explained the situation,in regards to the disabled occupants in the cars, and offered to pay. Simon just told me , very rudely to move the cars and promptly hung up. What an attitude to disabled people, I was shocked at his attitude. My aunt, was unable to walk back to the car, so we had to get the car and collect her. I It stated on their website ! Wheel chair accessible car park. What a joke, I have taken photos of the severe pot hols in the car park. No way could you get a wheel chair in the car park. Disgusting attitude towards disability.

Received a Final Demand 18 months after a PCN.
Will take this all the way. What a bunch of Shysters!
Just after low hanging fruit - Well my fruit hangs high

I accidentally omitted a digit from my cars registration when paying for parking and received a fine. I appealed and sent a screenshot of my bank payment. Despite "investigating" my appeal, they rejected it.
In my opinion they have no compassion and are only interested in the contents of your wallet. There's no phone numbers apart from a payment line so forget trying to speak to someone.
I think from reading other reviews they only get 1 star because you can't score ZERO. At least they are consistent!
In future to avoid future issues I'll use a parking app.

Alliance Parking UK Ltd - CEO Kevin Mcmanus having visited a beach after 6pm with only one other car to capture a sunset and leave they fined me £60 okay! I get it no ticket was purchased guilty as charged! When is a car park 24/7 with no other cars after the closure of shops etc in off peak season? It’s revenue oriented tried to have a professional conversation with Kevin but the sheer arrogance of the clown just shows what he’s running a profit making machine! He had the audacity to say it was theft? So purchasing a new car and not paying for 30 days is theft is it Kevin?

Highly advise not to park in any of their car parks as any infringement however minor will result in a hefty fine. If you try an appeal they make it very difficult at every step. Bottom line they are leaches on society.
