hello fellow travel geeks

I've made a copy of this thread with only the links and details left in it and made it sticky - hopefully people can look at that before posting for a specific parking "issue"

let me know what you think

Checked for a website but no luck telephone number is 01293 512106, friend of the sister in law has used them a few times and says they are good, reliable but above all hassle free compared to similiar priced off airport parking

Purple Parking Heathrow,

Not too bad but a word of caution.

You have to leave your keys in the car, and if like me, you forget that it is self locking after a while then your keys will be locked in the car and your car left where you put it for them to park for you.

They were helpful and got us in the car but there are no signs warning you of this so please check and take a spare set of keys if you are not sure.

We park our car with a very nice man who runs a secure car parking facility in a locked area next to his house, about 5-6 mins away from the terminal. He charges £5 a day and included in that is transfers both ways any time day or night. Many other M.S.Eers have used his services and made excellent comments too (unfortunately lost in the great thread theft )

I have no connection (other than being a grateful customer) with the man, but for his privacy and security I wouldn't put his details on public view but am more than happy to provide them to people via PM - just drop me a PM and I'll reply as soon as I can.

Hi Can you let me have details of the parking?

Have just returned from 2 weeks in Spain and used the Bishop stortford and Stansted park and ride service...BRILLIANT!
You must pre-book but then you phone when you are 10 mins or so away from airport, pull up in drop off area, take your luggage out of car and a man meets you and takes car away. On return you phone after collecting luggage and passing through customs, by the time you walk to the meet point the car is on the way.
It cost 219.70 for 2 weeks, and although this is not the cheapest parking it was about £25 more than using pink elephant, but as it was 11.30pm as we left the airport it was great.

Hi,
I am hoping someone may be able to advise, we are travelling to St Pancras from Basingstoke, I have heard you can park on the outskirts of London for as little as £2 per day and catch the tube, we will be leaving our car for 3 nights. Has anyone heard of this or have other suggestions. I understand yoiu can park on streets near stations for free, but I am reluctant to do this for 3 nights.
Thanks for any advise you can give.

CTS - Used them several times - why use a company that busses you backwards and forwards with your luggage. I love 'em!

Are there any other cheap valet parking companies?
