UK car park operator fined £473,000
Reading time: 1 minute
One of the biggest private parking firms in the UK has been fined £473,000 after it failed to give information to a regulator.
In December 2025, the CMA decided to impose the fixed penalty because Euro Car Parks Ltd had, without reasonable excuse, failed to comply with an information notice given under Schedule 5, paragraph 16C(2) Consumer Rights Act 2015.
Drivers had accused the company of unfairly demanding money for infringements of car park rules.
Euro Car Parks Ltd tried to stop the CMA from naming the company, including by applying to the English High Court for an injunction. The court refused that application following a hearing on 11 February 2026.
The company has appealed the CMA’s decision and the fine is not payable until this appeal is determined or withdrawn, unless the court orders otherwise.
The CMA has not opened an investigation into whether Euro Car Parks Ltd has infringed consumer protection law. It is analysing the information the firm has now provided to determine whether a case should be launched.
