Membership
About the IPC
We are one of the 2 DVLA Accredited Trade Associations for the Private Parking Industry. The IPC ensure our members, who run and manage private car parks and land do so within the Code of Practice. Ensuring our members uphold standards when they install signage to inform motorists how to be compliant and subsequently when pursuing non-compliant motorists. This includes mandating access to an independent adjudicator should the motorist contest any parking charge issued.
Accreditation & Membership:
The IPC offers a range of membership options for companies, organisations, local authorities and individuals who manage private land, or work in partnership with the sector. Each different membership type undergoes a different series of checks and or audits, ensuring operational standards and protecting against rogue traders and non-compliance.
Accredited Operator Scheme (AOS):
The AOS membership is for organisations who issue and enforce parking charges. AOS members may not hold an AOS membership with another ATA. The cost of membership is determined by the parking related turnover of the applicant.
Accredited Service Provider (ASP):
The ASP membership is for organisations who are involved in the recovery of parking charges. These organisations are not involved in the issuing of parking charges. The cost of this membership is determined by your parking related turnover.
Accredited Airport Parking
Provider (AAPP):
The IPC Accredited Airport Parking Provider (AAPP) scheme has been created in collaboration with airports, industry and consumers and is a key part of raising standards for those organisations that are operating airport meet & greet and park & ride services. Millions of people each year use airports throughout the country to travel for family holidays, weekend escapes, business trips, visiting family and friends. Many passengers will drive their own vehicle to their selected airport and will utilise a variety of parking options to keep their vehicle safe and secure whilst they are away from home. The AAPP scheme will ensure that organisations providing meet & greet and park & ride services meet the highest industry standards, providing a service that passengers can trust and rely on. To become an AAPP, providers have to pass a thorough certification process prior to achieving certification against the scheme. They're then subject to ongoing scrutiny to ensure that the service they offer continues to meet the requirements of the scheme and therefore the requirements of passengers. Learn more about AAPP here: https://aapp.uk/

Compliance
The IPC has always been a leader in compliance, launching the first IPC Code of Practice for the private parking industry in 2012. It has played a key role in creating the sector's single Code of Practice and developing the Private Parking Standards Advisory Panel (PPSAP). The purpose of the panel is to create impartial oversight over the private parking Code of Practice, ensuring the Code raises standards for consumers.
Compliance for all schemes is managed via the IPC operator’s portal, a bespoke back-office system that has audited over:-
54,000 sites
-
18,000 signs
-
2,000 notices
-
4,000 self-ticketers
The operator’s portal provides organisations with the ability to:
-
Validate signs, sites documents and self ticketers
-
Upload the policies and procedures that will need to be evidenced to achieve conformity against the Code of Practice
-
Upload and maintain the training records of their staff which is a requirement of the Code of Practice
-
Self-report breaches of the Code of Practice
The IPC has also introduced the first Accredited Service Provider (ASP) schemes within the private parking industry. These schemes focus on organizations that provide essential services to parking operators, ensuring compliance with the sector's Code of Practice and protecting consumers.Social Media

Joining the AAPP scheme allows meet & greet and park & ride providers to demonstrate credibility, compliance, and professionalism in a market that has long been undermined by rogue operators. Incidents such as vehicle damage, excessive mileage, unsafe vehicle storage in residential areas, and even criminal misuse have harmed customer trust and damaged the reputation of legitimate businesses operating at airports. The AAPP scheme, developed in collaboration with key stakeholders and administered by the IPC, raises standards across the sector through a robust certification process and ongoing annual surveillance. This ensures providers operate lawfully and transparently, while allowing airports to require certification without breaching competition law. By achieving AAPP certification, providers can clearly differentiate themselves from unlawful operators, build customer confidence, and secure their position within airport meet and greet marketplaces.
