Just wondering if you booked this deal & if you had a discount code to get that deal? The price I have for a week between 18th & 25th Octover is £81?
Also did you manage to find any feedback about skypark secure at all?
thanks

If it seems to good to be true, then it probably is!!
We have used meet and greet (not gatwick tho) and sometimes the parking is off site and so far away it would have been quicker to get on the bus - no exageration. It might seem like no waiting around but when we landed on our return, we had to phone a number and they said they would bring our car to us....we waited and waited.....finally over an hour later it arrived!! :mad: We were cold tired and desparate to get home by then. Now, we just use the bus service which runs every 20mins and takes about 7mins, dropping us off within a few feet of our car.
Maybe we were just unlucky but i would check it out further before snapping up such an offer.
Good luck anyway and enjoy your hols.Experience is the toughest teacher because she gives the test first then the lesson

We saw a prog the other day exposing what happens with alot of these meet and greet services were your car is stored miles away or in the middle of a field. I like moneysaving but would not trust just anyone with sonmething you paid thousands for. Definately a time to cough up and pay for airport parking so your car stays at the airport. Could be a genuine good company but i wouldn't hold my breathl. Alarm bells should definately be ringing. If something sounds too good to be true then it probably is.0

We have used meet and greet twice now at Gatwick. Works out cheaper and is less stress for us (except when you are waiting for them to turn up on departure). Used Tudor Rose last time and would recommend - they make a note of your milage when they pick up the car in case you are paranoid that some little herbert is going to go for joy ride in your car. I would use them again.
Cant remember who we used 1st time - wouldnt recommend but they werent particularly terrible.0 -
We have booked Maple Manor after reading through recommendations on the great airport parking hunt sticky on thie front page of this forum! Hopefully they will live up to their recommendations from other mse's - it is only costing us £42 for 8 days! Hopefully - not too good to be true!

I'm sure you won't be disappointed. They were very thorough checking our car so there could be no disputes regarding damage and very punctual. We were delayed coming home as my husband was taken ill and they couldn't have been more accommodating when I rang them to explain.bargain-lil wrote:We have booked Maple Manor after reading through recommendations on the great airport parking hunt sticky on thie front page of this forum!

I have used Skyparksecure several times, i usually book the meet and greet at Heathrow, this is the one where they meet you outside your terminal, much easier!! They take the car and return it so there is no walking around or having to catch a shuttle bus and the cost is no more than any of the others. I have just paid £54 for 12 days parking.
If you want a discount code for 10% off you can get one from shopcodes.co.uk or use the following if you book dirrect on the site SKYSHC1"
Hope it helps, they also have some feedback on there website from cstomers who have used.0 -
hey, i've used skyparksecure quite a few times and never had a problem. MSE Martin has sorted a 20% discount with these guys which is on the airport parking page on this site - code is AW20 and is only valid until next week0
