Heathrow parking?

sarmia

We are currently booked with APH for parking at Q Park, Heathrow.
Having looked today to see if the prices have changed they are now offering Purple Parking at £18.00 cheaper or a meet and great for what I have already paid (give or take a few £,s.) We will be travelling with a 2 yr old and the meet and greet does sound ideal - especially if we can cancel our current booking (no charge) and re-book.

Has anyone any experience with meet and greet. We have been offered the following:

Heathrow Park & Fly Ltd T1-4
Meteor Meet & Greet T3
Budget Meet & Greet
Purple Parking Meet & Greet - Heathrow
Parking Express Heathrow

Thanks

No experience with meet and greet, however can recommended Parking Express heathrow. I always worry about delayed flights with meet and greet! Parking express is all automated, drive in, take a ticket, park at a space you like, take your keys with you. On the way back get a bus, it takes about 2 minutes as the parking is at the airport, go to your car up, drive out. The bus stops are all along the car park so you don't have to walk far! Its so convinent I wouldn't bother with any other way (a few other car parks have this feature, like NCP Flightpath).

Thanks for the reply.

I am only really thinking about the meet and greet as the thought of lugging our luggage, pushchair etc and a two year old a bit daunting! It does ask for the flight numbers so I 'presume' they keep a check and if you are delayed they will know about it.

With the purple parking do you take your keys with you, we used a similar car park but they had the keys there, I think I would worry about losing them on holiday and getting stuck on the way back!

Purple parking would take the keys so they can drive it to/from the airport. I'm sure they'd keep an eye on the flight times, I just tend to worry about things like that. My parents used meet and greet but can't remember who with but they liked it however I prefer to save a few pounds and park myself, but its understandable if you have children and lots of luggage.

My car is currently with purple parking at Heathrow, I booked via quidco and got a cash back.

Very easy, drive up to barrier, barrier lifts follow signs, park up, get cases, leave keys in car, take voucher thing with you, get on mini coach thing, told drive T2, was there in about 15 mins .

I'll let you know about the return trip.

It wont for me. I'm putting my dates in on the first page and then ITT underneath the dates and it comes up the same price as if I didnt?

I've used purple parking on the last 2 occasions at heathrow, and apart from waiting about 15 mins for the minibus to leave and a crowded minibus I couldnt fault them and they were the cheapest I could find.
