Gatwick Parking

Just returned from hols - used Pink Meet and Greet Ltd (not the same as Pink Elephant, I think). Great service - booked online, rang them 20 mins before we got to Gatwick, they met us there and picked up the car. They monitored our flight number on the way back and rang us - baggage was late, so they asked us to ring back when we had collected it and said they'd be outside before we were, and they were! Would definitely use them again. http://www.pink-meetandgreet.co.uk

At the time, the cost on their website was £35 for 5-9 days; by far the cheapest, even for a car park, never mind a meet & greet service. On their website they now have £35 for 7 days and £65 for 14 days, so that makes it a bit more expensive - don't know if you'd be able to negotiate a cost in-between for over 7 days but less than 14. (Website doesn't display properly with Firefox, BTW, so you might need to use a different browser to see the costs.) According to their website, they also cover Heathrow and Stansted.

https://www.purpleparking.co.uk may be worth a try, not the cheapest but you can use your Tesco clubcard vouchers 2.50 gets you £10 parking!

Even after finding the so called best offer firm, having the right code can make all the difference.
Just as an example, I experimented with firm APH

In all instances I obviously used the same dates, from the same airport. Try it yourself and see what you get:

http://www.aph.com/ this APH site quoted me £36.00 for 7 days in July

http://www.aph.com/offers/ this APH site quoted me £32.40

http://www.aph.com/partners/?toysrus this APH site quoted me £30.60

I wonder just how much more I could save if I keep hunting !! :j

used bcp parking in manchester recently,cost £48.96 for 2 weeks parking using discount code through virgin c.card(also noticed offer on egg card aswell now)
they were very good,booked very last minute(about 10 hrs before!)and had no problems.transport to airport by bus took approx 15-20 mins. luckily for me they run these buses v.regularly as i left my padlock keys on my car keys in their carpark,i realised this after check in:eek: phoned them up and they bought my keys to me at airport on the next run:T
will be using them again next time i go away.

I have just come back from a week away in Malta, I phoned one car park (I can't remember which one) they quoted me £42 for the week. I then phoned APH and asked if they could better it and they quoted me £36 and gave me a reference number, my friend then phoned to book and used her over 60's discount card and we got the weeks stay for £26. We stayed the night before in a Travel Lodge which cost us £10. How about that for a fantastic deal !!!

Whoops !!

Sorry, it was from Gatwick.

I don't know the name of the car park where we parked, but the entrance was by a Shell petrol station and there was a Nissan Garage next door. It was about 15 mins from the airport. It seemed strange really, our Travel Lodge was right by the runway, yet we seemed to go so far to park, then come right back again !! we waved to the TL when we took off !!

That was APH. I've used them before and found them quite efficient.
