Heathrow Valet Parking??

Has anyone here got any good or bad stories about valet parking at Heathrow or their meet and greet service?

Thanks

My cousin used a "Meet & Greet" parking service at Heathrow a few years ago (2015) for her Audi RS6 and came back to find her car caked in mud and with kerb damage to one of the wheels...

Not sure which service it was she used, but it put me off using any of them to be honest! Andrew.

I recall watching a TV programme, maybe Watchdog about airport parking and despite their glossy advertising about secured, well lit, manned parking, a lot of cars ended up in fields with no security at all.
If it was me, I’d use public transport to and from the airport. It might seem less convenient but having no idea where my car would sit while I was away would worry me. Got - 2017 SDV8 Autobiography in Loire Blue

we have used heathrow meet and and greet a few times and never had a problem despite all horror stories that come out every time you look at the internet! but i always take a picture of mileage so can check when we get back in car, the average mileage has been around 3mls so not getting very far from drop off point!

Use the T5 buisness parking that has the monorail pods to the terminal

Yes I love the pods and use those on business but this is a 2 week family holiday and the pod is over £100 more. Discovery 4 HSE

Currently using the T5 meet and greet. Arrival experience was fine.... hopefully once we're back from India we'll find the second half of the experience to be fine too... Shocked Bish.

I used to wash aircraft many moons ago at gatwick and when I was up high to do the tail, I could see the car park they used- I regularly used to watch the guys racing the cars round, watching them bouncing up and down as they cained them across the place- you could hear them revving the engines up when they were stone cold from being parked up for a week or two- it was then that I said to myself I will never, ever use this service for my cars. 2009 (2010 MY) 5.0 Supercharged Autobiography

I'd heard horror stories but I use Purple Parking often and put a spare phone in the glovebox using an always on USB running "Life360 App" you can track your car very easily, sort of home made tracker.

Car was moved a few times, but didn't appear to be raced and was always in one of their car parks. Perhaps if I'd gone for longer than a week they may have moved it to a longer term park.

Just to also say, courteous staff, car was spotless when returned, no complaints from me at all for Purple Parking @ Heathrow. Fuji White / Jet 2012 4.4 TDV8 Westminster
