    I noticed that today, the normal service is a lot cheaper but the meet and greet doesnt have much of a discount.

    I have a 15% discount if you book the M&G through APH if anyone needs it.

    (Don't think I can make it public though ;))

    Used twice at Heathrow - definitely would use again especially with children in tow. RAC members get a good discount too - makes it not much more than the online undiscounted shuttle bus option.

    To add my recent experiences of Purple Parking Meet and Greet at Manchester Airport to the thread.....

    I booked the Purple Parking Service at a very good price through www.airport-parking-discounts.co.uk. It came out at around £38 for a week's parking Meet and Greet.

    Due to the ash situation and strikes in Greece, I left booking the parking til the day before travelling. I booked at 12.30pm on Friday for 5pm arrival the following day. The payment was authorised and I printed off the details including booking reference to take with me.

    As per the instructions, we rang Purple 15 mins before arriving at the airport. The woman on the phone told my DD she had no more meet and greets that day, she had no record of the booking and as far as she was concerned she didn't know anything about the booking. Her name, for the record was Zoe and she was extremely abrupt and unhelpful in her manner. She said they didn't accept meet and greet bookings within 24 hours off departure (although |I had booked outside that window) and anyway our contract was with the agent (not according to the agents T&C) and said we had to deal with them. They, of course, were unavailable by phone at 5pm on a Saturday and there was little time to waste. I had to park in the long term car park at Manchester, which cost me £70.

    I would suggest a phone call to Purple Parking to confirm your booking the day before you travel would be worthwhile.

    Oh thats a real shame Bronnie. We had great service from them, especially when we were stuck in NYC due to the ash cloud.
    I've booked again with them for our holiday in 2 weeks. £50 for 16 days parking using the meet & greet service.

    Hi

    Is the TIPO code for 50% off as this is not being reflected in the quotes coming back from purpleparking?

    Or is it only for certain dates or airports?

    It will be off the price if you just turn up - not the pre-booking price.
  • I believe the TIPO code only works for Heathrow

    I just used TIPO code for stansted and got £25 off meet and greet so although not 50% off it was definately cheaper than any other. Many thanks for code OP.
