Meet & Greet Parking Manchester

I have to be at Manchester T1 early hours (3am) & price difference (& inconvenience between decanting from car to a bus at park & ride, in the early hours for another 15 minutes transfer to the airport), or selecting a meet & greet service isnt that great.
I may be a novice meet & greet parker this time..!
A bit naive - Am I right in thinking you arrive in your car at the terminal with a driver to meet you, & a driver meets you with your car at arrivals?
There are so many companies !
Anyone recommend one?
or any to avoid ?

    We use the airport's own valet parking.

    You park just at the terminal and give your car keys in at an office, they move it and bring it back in time for your return.

    Saves loads of time.

    Meet and greet is great.

    I'd probably use Eazy Park Meet & Greet

    Sounds good - roughly how much does this cost for 1 week ?

    I can't help with companies or prices for Manchester, but have to say the Meet & Greet service is fantastic, especially for early morning departures, an extra half hour in bed makes all the difference!

    It's one of those things, once you've done it once you'll never go back to all that schleping on car park shuttles again. It make life so much easier.

    For our last holiday this August we paid £40 for a week at Gatwick, the most we saw it for was £90, to give you a rough idea.

    Never do one week, but in general it cost about £5 more than quotes for parking where they bus you in. I always look at the whole range - good MSE practice.
