UK parking operators and where their appeals actually go

BPA and IPC published member lists · verified 03/08/2026

Every operator, its trading name and its appeals route

The name on your notice is often a trading name, not the legal company name on the member list. Search either — 58 of the 217 operators here trade under a different name. The last column is POPLA's own decided-appeal record for the year to September 2025; the full league table ranks every operator by it →

Showing all 217 operators.

2 operators appear on both member lists (Parking Group Ltd, Premier Parking Enforcement Limited). For those, the association printed on your own notice decides the route.

Know your operator? Get your actual dates

Three deadlines run from the date on your notice, and the third one is heard by a different body depending on which association your operator belongs to. The calculator names the right one automatically.

No signup, nothing stored. Notice date in, your three deadlines and days-left out.

Guides that answer the question behind the operator

The operator on your notice decides where the appeal goes. These decide whether it is worth writing at all: what ParkingEye v Beavis actually decided — the case rejection letters cite, and the grounds it never touched — and, if your charge came from a hospital site, who really issues an NHS car park charge, which is almost never the trust itself.

Short guides, one screen each, for the operators people search for most, with the odds from POPLA's own report, your two dates and the three grounds that win: Euro Car Parks, ParkingEye, UKPC, Smart Parking, APCOA, NCP, MET Parking, Horizon Parking.

Where the numbers on this page come from

• 217 operators, 105 to POPLA, 110 to the IAS, 2 on both lists, 58 trading under another name: the publicly published member lists of the British Parking Association and the International Parking Community, last compiled 03/08/2026.
• The 14-day discount window, the around-40% minimum reduction, the 28-day operator appeal and the 14-day hold on the reduced rate after a rejection: The private parking sector single Code of Practice, Version 1.1 (British Parking Association and International Parking Community, 17/02/2025) — checked 20/08/2026 — clauses 8.4.1(a), 8.1.2(e) and 8.2.2. Code of Practice v1.1 §8.1.2(e): that if the recipient appeals within 28 days of receiving the parking charge, the right to pay at the rate applicable when the appeal was made must stand for a further 14 days
• 28 days for POPLA: POPLA's own FAQ — popla.co.uk/faqs, checked 24/08/2026. 28 days for the IAS: IAS FAQs — standard appeals (Independent Appeals Service, as published on 04/09/2026) — checked 04/09/2026 — “A standard appeal is an appeal lodged within 28 days of the operator rejecting the appeal internally.” — confirmed on a second IAS page, IAS ADR overview — the standard appeals procedure (Independent Appeals Service, as published on 04/09/2026) — checked 04/09/2026.
• The "decided for driver" column: POPLA Annual Report 2025 — Appendix (Parking on Private Land Appeals, 30/04/2026) — checked 20/08/2026 — the per-operator table, parse checked against the report's own printed totals.

Each operator's page now also carries the appeal route the company itself publishes — its own appeal page, the window it states, and the address a posted appeal has to reach — read off its own website on 07/09/2026. Of the 190 operator websites we could read that day, 151 gave no address to write to at all: what the Code requires when an operator cannot be reached, or does not reply →
