Thinking About Meet & Greet Parking Again?
If you’ve used meet and greet airport parking before but haven’t booked it for a while, you’re not alone.
Some travellers try meet and greet once or twice, love the convenience, and then – for one reason or another – drift back to traditional car parks, buses or long walks with luggage. Life gets busy, habits change, and sometimes small doubts creep in.
But if you’re a “lapsed” meet and greet parker, it might be worth taking a fresh look at what the service offers today – because a lot has changed, and many of the common concerns people have are easier to solve than you might think.
“It feels too expensive”
This is probably the biggest reason people stop booking.
At first glance, meet and greet can look pricier than self-parking options. But when you factor in hidden costs – transfers, fuel, extra time, or paying for premium short-stay spaces to avoid a long walk – the difference is often much smaller than expected.
And that’s before discounts.
At I Love Meet & Greet, we regularly run special offers, seasonal promotions and returning customer deals to make the service more affordable. Many customers are surprised to find that with a discount applied, meet and greet can cost only a few pounds more than parking yourself – while saving 20–40 minutes each way.
For families, business travellers or anyone with early flights, that time (and stress) saved can be priceless.
“I’ve heard horror stories about cowboy operators”
We get it. Stories about unregulated parking companies moving cars off-site, adding miles or storing vehicles in unsuitable locations have understandably made some people cautious about meet and greet in general.
But it’s important to separate rogue operators from trusted providers.
I Love Meet & Greet is proud to be recommended by consumer champions Which? for two consecutive years – a recognition based on service quality, security and customer satisfaction. Our professional, fully insured drivers park vehicles safely and responsibly, and we operate with complete transparency.
When you choose a reputable, established company, you’re choosing peace of mind.
“It feels easier to just park myself”
For some travellers, self-parking feels familiar and in control. But think about what that actually involves:
Driving around looking for a space
Unloading luggage
Waiting for a transfer bus
Queuing at busy times
Repeating it all when you return, tired from your trip
Meet and greet removes all of that.
You simply drive to the airport forecourt, hand over your keys to a uniformed driver, and walk straight to check-in. When you land, your car is brought back to you. No buses, no dragging suitcases, no extra steps.
Once customers try it again, they often say the same thing: “Why didn’t I do this sooner?”
“My last experience wasn’t perfect”
We’re always honest – no service is flawless 100% of the time. Delays, busy periods or miscommunication can occasionally happen.
The difference is how those issues are handled.
At I Love Meet & Greet, customer service is at the heart of what we do. If something isn’t right, we fix it quickly and fairly. Our team is always available to help, and we’re constantly improving our processes based on real feedback.
Because we believe trust is built on listening.
It might be time to give it another go
If it’s been a while since you last used meet and greet parking, now could be the perfect time to rediscover just how easy airport travel can be.
With competitive pricing, regular discounts, trusted drivers and Which?-recommended standards, the service is designed to take the hassle out of your journey from the moment you arrive at the airport.
And if there’s anything you think we could do better, we genuinely want to hear from you.
Your feedback helps us improve and shape the service around what travellers really need.
So whether you’re ready to book again or simply want to share your thoughts, please get in touch via email or our social media pages. We’re always keen to learn – and to make your next trip smoother than ever.
