Can you post a link for them, as I can't find them, and this is much cheaper than the quotes I've had

Here is the link, it's the bottom quote - https://www.purpleparking.com/cool-ice/default.asp?Category=new_purple&Service=AirportsPriceQuote&ap=MAN&stdate=26&stmonth=November&styear=2007&rtrndate=10&rtrnmonth=December&rtrnyear=2007&sourceI=GGLE&meethour=06&meetmin=00&arrivhour=06&arrivmin=00&rtrnhour=22&rtrnmin=00&passengers=005&h1=999999&ppmember=&ppmname=&zanpid

I did it going through Purple Parking which was recommended on here. The price may change, depending when you go - I did it for Nov/Dec. You also get a further 10% off using Quidco & obviously more off, if you join (free) Purple Parking...

It just seems so cheap compared to the others, so not sure how safe it is....

I am thinking about booking them for a trip this week. If I do I will let you know how I get on. There are some more details here about them.

I think given that they are 10 miles from the airport the 12-15 minutes transfer time might be optimistic. I saw that this company had an award/good ranking on another parking website. You park the car yourself and take the keys with you - so there is no risk of them moving it and parking it in a street somewhere. The downside is that you could get soaked going from your car - normal park and rides you leave the car near the reception and they move it. You can cancel up to 24 hours before with no cost so little risk to book now anyway.

EDIT : There are reviews at the bottom of the link I gave.... some are a little worrying!

Thanks Searcher. Will see how we get on & maybe increase our parking budget!!!!!!

Let us know how you get on with them?

One definitely to avoid is Airparks at Handforth Dean. The car park is situated a long drive away from the airport and as there's just one bus doing the loop you can be waiting for up to 45 mins at either end for it to arrive. At both ends you have to stand outdoors to wait for it. It's a miserable way to start and end your holiday.

Well worth paying a few extra quid for a site nearer the airport.

Sorry - I won't be checking out Budget. I have booked with Styal Chauffeured Parking Services for a week from this weekend and will be reporting back on the experience on the thread below when I get return...
