How park and ride works on the day
Drive to the car park's address on your booking, not to the airport.
Park, or hand over your keys if they park it for you, then take the shuttle bus or train to the terminal.
Leave time for the transfer: the wait for the bus as well as the ride.
Coming back, take the shuttle from the stop your booking names and drive home from the car park.

In the listing's own words, from Compare Parking Prices. I haven't checked these claims; ask the car park about anything that matters to you.
Before you book
Check how often the shuttle runs at the times you travel, late at night especially.
Check whether you keep your keys or leave them.
Check the car park's opening hours against your flights.
