Why do we have to charge you a booking fee?
For every penny that we take through our website we pay fees or commission to various different organisations. We choose not to add our booking fee to the quoted prices because we prefer to be transparent and have our reasons for charging a booking fee easily accessible for all at the point of booking.
Here is a breakdown of where the booking fee money goes:
Realex
Our payment gateway allow us to process your money securely over the internet through all manner of different card types.
Streamline
Our merchant bank provide the interaction between Realex and our bank accounts so that we can get paid for each order we process. We can then in turn pay the car parks whom provide the service to our customers.
This is also the company that determines which card types we can use to process payments. Different fees apply for different cards but we think it's too complicated to apply charges based on which card our customers choose to use, so we simply take an average of the total fees.
