Purple Parking at airports

Hiya,
I've done the maths and am thinking of parking at Heathrow when we go on holiday for four days in April. I can do this for £22ish (which is quite fantastic!) although Purple Parking requires you to leave the car keys in the ignition for it to be moved at a later date.
I was wondering if anyone could offer me any reassurance, lol! Have you dealt with them/done this before? And did it all go smoothly?
I've parked at, I think, Pink Elephant when I used Luton two years back, and didn't need to leave my keys then. Just a bit concerned of the security aspect really.
Thanks for any help

I used them at East Midlands and had to drive to the reception area as we wanted the car undercover. Needed a Passport for ID and they gave us a receipt for the car and left the car keys with them.
Even decided to have it valeted whilst we were away. Fantastic service and I believe you can use Tesco vouchers towards costs.
Certainly no probs for me.:D0 -
We used them at Luton last year and paid with Tesco Deals vouchers, we had to leave the keys at reception for them to park the car and they bused us to the Airport. It was all fine and we collected the keys from reception on return.

PS I think there is a minimum stay if you use the Deals Vouchers.0 -
Have used them at Heathrow several times with no problems. Only drawback is they are the parking furthest from the terminals so it's a bit of a drag going to and fro in their minibus, particularly coming back when you might have to ring them to send one.
The Tesco offer is ending at the end of April but you can book before then for later in the year if you have your vouchers in time.0
