How much have you paid to drop someone off at the airport?

Hi,

What's the most you've paid to drop someone off at the terminal outside the airport please?

Would love to hear your examples. Thanks

    Our taxi driver said it cost him £7 to drop us off and pick us up from Manchester (which incidentally is - imho - a total bloody nightmare place at the moment).

    Birmingham and East Midlands are both £2 for up to 10 minutes.

    About £20K but that included the private jet that the client had stipulated we provide for him.

    And yes, he was a respected movie type with a golden tounge and a mixed bag of films to his name.

    Cost a mate a £40 fine for dropping his wife off on the approach road.

    Is there any airport that doesn't include the drop off fee on it's website? Certainly all of the ones that I've needed to look at show it, so this seems to be a pretty pointless thread (not that I'm surprised at MSE starting a pointless thread...).

    Paid £1 to pick up parents on Friday night in Bristol, dropped them off the same time on Monday - went to leave the carpark and they tried to charge me £280. Must have not picked up me leaving on the camera!

    And hopefully that's what it says on their website. My point was that the information that is being asked for is readily available from a verifiable source rather than anecdotal evidence.
