Heathrow Meet & Greet/Valet parking

Skint_Catt

Hi,

Please can someone recommend a decent meet & greet parking service at Heathrow please? We wouldn't normally use a service like that but I'd like to splash out for a special holiday in April. I've heard some really dodgy stories though so would like a recommendation if possible.

I usually use off site parking Airparks at BHX but have never parked at Heathrow before.

Many thanks,

C xx

All depends which terminal you are flying from...If its Terminal 5 then there is no need for service as the car park is next to the departures For other terminals do a search for Purple Parking

Thanks - I think it's Terminal 3. Had a look at Purple Parking but couldn't remember if they were the ones on Watchdog!

I used Purple Parking at Heathrow and never had any issues with them....Airparks Luton were on Watchdog a few months ago

Please don't follow this advice - the on site short term parking is extremely expensive.

T5 and T3 have dedicated BAA valet parking which is your safest bet. Drop off and pick up located at departures.

Purple parking offer a meet and greet service which is essentially the same and is cheaper than the BAA service.

You need to decide yourself the quality of the purple service vs the BAA service. Drivers, car parks, and dedicate on site presence.

They are a middleman search engine - I'd avoid their fees and book direct.

I would recommend the Edward Lloyd meet and greet service - we have used them the last 3 times we have flown from Heathrow and they are great

You may want to think about staying at a hotel nearby (we use the Holiday Inn at Slough) - 15 nights parking included, room for 4 persons, taxi to the airport (but you have to pay the return journey - about £20 with tip) - about £70.
We have got caught a few times getting up to Heathrow with traffic on the M25 - so going up the night before takes the stress out of the trip.:)

Just booked purple parking premium for heathrow

You get the bus from the car park to terminal and then they bring your car to the terminal on return

11 days for £72 with 25% off code valid till end of Jan will post code in discounts and codes forum

I see there is already a 25% code in the codes forum which is slightly diff to mine so may be worth checking both
