Parking at Gatwick - recommendations

I'm flying from LGW next week and wondered if anyone recommends either one of: Airparks Gatwick Meet & Greet or Gatwick Meteor Meet & Greet more highly?

Both come up on the VS Purple Parking booking form - Airparks is a bit more at £84 vs Meteor at £71.

Thanks

Martin

Hi Martin,

I have used Airparks Gatwick Meet & Greet for the last 5 years and can recommend them, always been very punctual and i've never had a problem. May be a bit more expensive but Highly Recommend. :)

We use airparks meet and greet too and have never had a problem either.

At LGW north they have taken away the high vehicle parking area so we have no choice v(

I used Meteor Meet & Greet in November last year and had a bad experience.

Our 2 day old car had just short of 100 miles put on it and a quarter of a tank of Diesel used while it was in their care. v(


After a strong letter and an "investigation" they found no trace of it being used apart from the journey to / from the compound. However, their initial offer of compensation was refused and I got it increased to what I felt was fair.


I now take a photo of the instrument panel, which includes the mileage and fuel gauge, when arriving at the terminal. I explain to the driver the reasons why and they accept it ok, saying their company would never use a car like this ?? !! ii)

Why I always use self-parking or a rental car. Wouldn't trust my own car to anyone else's care (or carelessness).
