Airport meet and greet parking

Has anyone done this at Manchester - is it ok. Do they look after your car? Just wondering as its cheaper than taxi transfer.
Thanks

Depends on the company. I have heard a few horror stories, but not usually from reputable companies.

There are 3 companies I`ve got prices from Manchester Meteor Meet and Greet / Autostrong Platinum Meet and Green / Securapark Meet and Greet.

I've used Autostrong in the past but not the meet and greet service. Book into their car park and they will take you to the airport on the courtesy bus that they run. They uplift aswell on your return journey.

We used http://www.elitevaletparking.co.uk/ last year and they were superb, dropped off the car outside the departure doors and were waiting for us on our return, smart, polite drivers and overall a very professional outfit. We are quite particular and wouldn't recommend if weren't 100% satisfied, they were recommended to us by people on this site.
(i'm not associated to them by the way )

i must admit though, we were apprehensive about giving our car to a stranger, you obviously never know where your car has been although they state its close to the airport and ours only had about 7 extra miles on the clock.... happy customers

I've used Meet and Greet by Purple Parking at Heathrow before (for our honeymoon last year), and the service was spot on. They also do meet and greet at Manchester - I believe it's around £40 (based on a weeks worth of parking).

i used the meet and great as described above last month at manchester.
one small gripe was the car wasn't waiting for me when i got back. had to call them and wait 15 minutes for it..

£7.50 quidco when booking through purple parking too!

there is a discount code on the discount code threads for 20% off this service, and you can still go via quidco
