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

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.

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! |

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... |

Which it was, even with adjusting our arrival time due to BA taking 2 hours to get our bags off the flippin plane. |

Used them a few times, never had any issues. Always lots of nice cars parked there! |

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.
