Holiday Extras Goes Double Dutch with Acquisition of Quick Parking

The deal sees Holiday Extras take over the brands, website, distribution partnerships, supply arrangements and technology platform, together with the long term leases and operations of Quick Parking's four airport parking facilities serving passengers for Amsterdam's Schiphol, Brussels International, Rotterdam The Hague and Eindhoven. This new supply, together with a far wider international parking supply network and the group's well-established German business, significantly strengthens Holiday Extras' European footprint.

In total the four Quick Parking sites add a further 6,200 spaces to Holiday Extras' own airport parking portfolio in Europe, and follows hot on the heels of their recent takeover of the multistory car park in Munich in February '24 and strategic investment in the Dutch-based Transferz ground transportation business in November '23. The Quick Parking acquisition is a further significant step in Holiday Extras' expansion into Europe.

Holiday Extras plans to keep the Schiphol headquarters and the talented, long-serving Quick Parking team in place and expand the team as they invest in a new and exciting growth plan. Founder and CEO Albert Weerman will stay on as an adviser to Holiday Extras Group on their expansion plans throughout Europe.

The investment will include further upgrades in each of the parking sites, including security and facilities improvements and installation of the latest self-service technology via Holiday Extras' own ParkIT business, together with adding the group's approach to improved booking flexibility with its Flextras promise, the AI-powered app and relentless focus on delivering best prices and customer experience.

Albert Weerman, founder and CEO of Quick Parking, said, "Holiday Extras' commitment to customer service, sustainable development and better technology makes them the perfect buyer for our business and new home for our team. We're all excited to join the Holiday Extras Group and happy that the business my wife Margot and I founded and built here will be in safe hands."

Simon Hagger, Holiday Extras Deputy CEO, said, "The acquisition of Quick Parking ticks so many boxes for our Group. Further expansion of our own parking operations in Europe, much more supply in new territories and through application of our team and tech capability we see this bold move as a significant accelerator of our European growth plans. We can't wait to work with the Quick Parking team and welcome them to the Holiday Extras family!"

Matthew Pack, Holiday Extras Group CEO, said, "I'm delighted with the Quick Parking acquisition! A massive cheers to Albert and Margot the founders — clever entrepreneurs, who have built a fantastic business. We're proud to add Quick Parking to the Holiday Extras Group and are set to turbo-charge the operation with our 'less hassle, more holiday' expertise".
