Manchester Airport Parking?

So,

In a few days, I'm dropping off my dad there, and will likely stay there for three-four hours

Looking here:
Manchester Airport Parking | Pre-book Cheap Airport Parking | JetParks UK

It mentions the following:
  • Terminal 2 Meet and Greet (53.366211,-2.277132)
  • Terminal 2 Meet and Greet Plus (53.366211,-2.277132)
  • Terminal 2 Multi-Storey (53.367969,-2.277815)
  • Terminal 2 Long-Stay (53.369416,-2.287016)
On the official website at:
Manchester Airport Parking | Cancellation Protection Available

It's recommending that I park at T2 Multi Storey west at £25 for about four hours. What's the difference between the multi storey, and the others? I can imagine a "long stay" is for when you want to park your car for at least three days or so. What's the difference between Meet and Greet, and Meet and Greet Plus? Why should I go for one over the other? Unless the meet and greet is just 30 minutes worth or something?

    Meet and Greet is also for longer stays.
    It's terminology means that they meet and greet you and take your car away to look after it till you return.
    In reality, you park in the lane that the computer tells you when you arrive.
    Take your keys into the terminal and find the M&G station and enter your details into the next computer and leave your keys in the designated letterbox!
    When you return days/weeks later you go to a different M&G desk where you are given your key and told that your car is in row x space 123 and away to go.
    Not for you but I feel better explaining it!!!  :D

    Thanks. In that case, I should just head to the T2 multi storey?

    The taxi drop off area is here:
    Atlanta Ave - Google Maps

    I don't drive a taxi, but I doubt it matters for 5 mins

    The regular drop off (T2 East) appears to be here:
    Palma Ave - Google Maps 

    The multi storey (T2 West) appears to be here too:

    Melbourne Ave - Google Maps

    If it was just myself, I'd park somewhere else, and use public transport for the last bit
