Is your car safely stored at the airport or collecting fines elsewhere?

Don’t use ‘meet and greet’ under any circumstances, it’s just asking for trouble.
Park your car yourself, lock it and take your keys with you.

I fly regularly from Heathrow. I have tried various parking options and have never had a problem with meet and greet. I prefere to use an on site Hotel and take advantage of their superb parking arrangements. I have also used Heathrow Airports own Long stay Car Parking. This works out at around £11.50 a day to park ( cheap at London rates). The transport to and from the terminal is exceptionally fast and it appears to have good security.

I have used Purple Parking/APH many times and have always been very happy with both service and parking.

I am a Purple Parking user and have found them to be good.
One case of damage was paid for ( after some negotiation with the repairer)

I have used the Meet & Greet service at Robin Hood Doncaster-Sheffield Airport on numerous occasions now as currently it is cheaper than the regular long stay car park. So far I have had no problems at all. Always got my car back as I left it. The same applies to the long stay car park. No problems.

I have used APH to compare for many many years. Prices seem good when booked ahead. Key is to check the scores customers provide. I have used Meet and Greet for a long time, travel frequently and use the top scoring companies. I leave my car anything between a week and six weeks and have never had a problem with anything. Staff are polite and courteous and I always give a modest tip. Last two years been using I Love Meet and Greet.

I have used meet & greet for many years at Gatwick, Heathrow and Stansted and never had a problem. More recently i have moved to Gatwick’s and Heathrow’s own parking services as they have been more competitive, and they are even better. I guess you get what you pay for.

I see not much has changed since you did this convo back in 2014

I have used Purple parking at Heathrow on numerous occasions and it is faultless.

We have used the official meet and greet parking at Manchester Airport several times and have always been completely satisfied with the service. On one occasion we flew from terminal 3 but flew back into terminal 1 so our car was in the wrong place. The staff in the parking office had it brought round to us within 5 minutes.

i have just booked a car park place at Cardiff airport through holiday extras with a 10% discount, i always park at Cardiff airport very well managed. the only gripe i have is some of the places for cars are all loose stone you would think that all the money they make on car parking they would tarmac it all saving cars from getting chips due to loose gravel.

My wife and I fly from Heathrow several times a year and always leave our car in the appropriate long term car park at the airport – and keep the key with us. Its not the cheapest, but by booking ahead its not too costly and we know where our car is.

I have used Maple Manor (meet and greet) Parking at Gatwick on 3 occassions. Excellent service, no problems.

I use Park and Ride at Glasgow and have never had a problem. It is only 5 min from the Airport. My keys never leave me when away. My car is always where I leave it and never moved.

I have never had a problem with airport parking either as ‘stand alone’ or combined with a hotel stay.
At Gatwick I use Cophall. Their prices are good as well as giving a consistently good service. They use mini buses rather than coaches for their transfers which means they run as required, not at infrequent intervals which add so much time to your journey. On landing you ring them as you get through customs and they dispatch one as you make your way to the pickup point.

In February I used Airparks at Luton. Just off the M1 it is quick and easy and much cheaper than the “official” airport long stay. You leave the car at their reception in their secure facility and it is parked for you and brought out ready for you on your return. The transfer time is similar to the airport long stay, but you don’t take so much time driving round a car park to find a space.

Car parking at Manchester airport – I have used Holiday Extras to book Jet3 car park on airport perimeter for a number of years. You park your car and take the transfer shuttle service which takes about 15min the system uses NPR to let you in and out. It is secure and you take your keys with you, it works well – never failed yet.

We used airport parking once. The car got damaged, the company denied responsibility, so we ended up paying for the repairs.

We now get a taxi to the airport. It might sound expensive, but can work out cheaper if going away for more than 2 weeks and the car is safe at home.

We’ve used the meet and greet service are Stansted Airport twice and found it reasonably priced, reliable and convenient.

I’ve used APH at Gatwick for many years. Never had a problem. They give a reduction for loyal customers. The shuttle service is efficient. Service is quick and courteous.
