What is Meet and Greet Airport Parking?
Meet and greet airport parking is a type of “valet parking” service popular at airports around the UK.
Typically a chauffeur will meet you at the airport from which You Are flying, close to your departure terminal. Your vehicle will then be driven away by a chauffeur to a secure parking space, usually off-site. This allows you then to simply walk to your departure point without the hassle of having to locate a parking space or use busy airport transfer busses.
On your return from your holiday you are greeted by a chauffeur with your car at the arrival point outside the airport terminal.
Meet and greet parking is generally a pre-booked service and there are many operators at most airports across the UK that can be found online either directly, through a search engine or via a price comparison website.
The Advantages of Meet and Greet Airport Parking
Meet and greet parking saves you time and hassle as you don’t have to wait for crowded airport transfer busses or trawl around an airport car park looking for a spare parking bay.
If you hate parking and waiting for airport transfer buses in a cold windy airport terminal then meet and greet is for you. And surprisingly this form of valet parking can often be a cheap option, especially if you book in advance online.
Meet and Greet is ideal for:
- Women travellers
- Disabled Travellers
- Travellers with lots of luggage
- Skiers and snowboarders
- Holidaymakers wanting to avoid stress
How does it work?
It’s pretty straightforward and most companies operate in the same way:
- Book your airport parking either from a website or by phone
- Call the company hotline around 10 minutes before you arrive at the airport
- On arrival for your departure, a chauffeur who is insured to drive your car will meet you and will park your car for you
- You walk to the airport terminal
- On your return, once you have collected your luggage call the chauffeur hotline
- Your car will be returned to you outside the terminal building
How much does it Cost?
The cost varies from airport to airport, but given the added convenience it is considered a good value for money alternative to standard on-site parking.
