Purple Parking Meet & Greet - anyone used this service?

Has anyone here used Purple Parking's Meet & Greet service? I'm thinking of booking it for our next holiday as I don't really fancy dragging two kids and luggage in and out of shuttle buses at 4am. :rolleyes:

Any expericences, good or bad? I've used PP for normal parking before and they were ok, but have never done Meet & Greet before.

    Purple Parking is the standard supplier in the business travel market. If it's good enough for a company exec you should be more than happy with their service.

    yup, we used them last year, and glad we did. got stuck in traffic and would have missed our flight had we not been able to drop and run. it all ran smoothly, but for a slight wait, minutes, picking us up, but to be fair the traffic was awful. we're using them again with this service this weekend.

    Last year we all stayed at the terminal and OH without luggage went with the shuttle bus and collected the car. It was 3am and raining at Luton but we stayed warm and dry and waited for him to collect us. Kids in the nicely warmed up car, luggage straight in boot and off we went.
    It's a great deal less hassle:D
  • We used the meet and greet from Luton a couple of years ago.

    Brilliant - the rest of our plane were still waiting for the bus to the car park when our car arrived ...

    Ideal for a late flight when we had work the next day!

    Well worth the additional £20 (at that time).

    It's been a few years since I used the Purple Parking Meet & Greet service but I had a good experience and would use it again.

    I was concerned that my car might have been used (eg extra mileage) while we were on holiday..............or worse still that the driver might smoke in my car................but both worries were unfounded.;)

    Another very satisfied customer here! We've used this service a couple of times now - worth every penny, especially if you have children/lots of luggage/long-haul flight etc.
